INSIDER: What I know about Rasir Bolton waiver timeline

Yeah probably. Trying to separate if "depression" meant he wasn't happy there or "depression" meant he was clinically depressed.
Probably want proof the depression is medically confirmed by a professional, not just “self diagnosed” or whatever.
Think we should know about Rasir's eligibility in the next two weeks. (granted the NCAA makes their own timeline).
After the Athletic Department was able to get Kyle Kempt a 6th year, I have full confidence they will properly cross the t's and dot the i's.
Considering the positive reviews on his play in the on CCL game (I know not the best evaluation point but all we have today), the importance of getting the waiver is raising in my mind.

Just an update on this: Sounds like ISU is submitting the paperwork this week ... took a little longer than originally suspected. Don't read into that. They were just being thorough.
Thorough details seem to be the difference between getting waivers approved or not lately. This was a smart move.
Unpopular opinion:
Without more information, i don’t understand why Bolton would get a waiver. On the surface it appears he didn’t like Pat Chambers because he was a jerk. Well he’s been a jerk there for 8 years, you knew what you signed up for.
I know the staff says they’re confident but i also remember them saying they were confident in Emmanuel Malou

"The previous guidelines allowed waivers to be granted for “egregious behavior by a staff member or student at the previous institution” as long as the previous school did not oppose the waiver, giving the committee a fairly broad window to view those claims. The updated version says waivers should be granted for documented cases where the athlete was a victim of “physical assault or abuse, sexually inappropriate behavior, racial abuse, religious discrimination, questioning of sexuality by a staff member or student at the previous institution” though the definition isn’t limited to those areas. "
The language that likely applies to Rasirs case. So it looks like if your coach was a relentless a-hole but didn't sexually/racially harass you or physically abuse you you're SOL.

What was interesting is that the attorney who represented Justin Fields and currently represents approximately fifty other college athletes in transfer cases approves of the new measures as a "sensible" short term fix. I'd be curious to know what he thinks the long term fix is.
Well to be fair, nothing was ever decided on Malou was it? If I recall, he left before decision came down.
The opposite of what everybody has been saying and expecting. The NCAA is well doubling down.
Pretty sure a coach abusing other people on the team would be grounds for acceptance, can create an unsafe-feeling environment. Which there is public documentation of, plus whatever else Bolton/family knows behind the scenes that they've submitted.
Maybe, but that's not what it says. It pretty clearly states the player has to be the one that was assaulted. I don't know what evidence Rasir has for his case, but to me if there are documented cases of a coach doing any of the things listed they are probably going to lose their job, and his coach is not losing his job. To me they are clearly ratcheting down on the transfer stuff and this puts a huge dent in his chances of being granted a waiver. Just my opinion. We'll see.
To be fair...
-- sexual harassment, discrimination against historically marginalized populations, and assault are categorically different (and worse) than just being a garden-variety *******
-- we do not know that Chambers was not doing any of those things... we know that guy is a huge *******, that crossing the line into the above (all sorts of words he could have said on one of many rants, etc.) or inappropriate physical contact would not shock me whatsoever
Right, but like I said above, if there is documented evidence of him doing these things then he would most likely be fired. It doesn't compute if he is actually guilty of doing anything beyond being a **** in general.
