Saw in the forum article this morning that Katie Deaton, for whatever ridiculous reason the NCAA came up with, was not granted a waiver to play right away and has to sit out this season. One time transfers with no penalty starting next year, a pandemic going on, no loss of eligibility this season and yet the NCAA says "Nah, you gotta wait" absolutely asinine.

My boss hates it when I shorten his name to Dick, mainly because his name is Steven.
NCAA still has a chance to undo this mistake:
Coach Jory has interesting possibilities with this core group of sophomores - could treat them as freshmen with the Covid exception. Since 3 of them came in as transfers, that would be quite a 4 year foundation for the program’s turnaround (hoped for).*Dom Izzo

NCAA has approved transfer waivers left and right this fall. This move makes a lot of sense.

Sources: The basketball oversight committee expected to recommend that the NCAA allow ALL transfers to get waiver to play this season. This would be proposed to the D-1 Council — which next meets on Dec. 16. There is a chance it could be voted on prior to the 16th.
LONG OVERDUE
Sophomores
- Ryan Cobbins
- Heaven Hamling (Stephen F Austin)
- Marie Olson (Southern Methodist)
- Kadie Deaton (Northern Colorado)
- Olivia Skibiel
- Plus JC transfer Reneya Hopkins could possibly have a 3 year Bison career instead of the normal two
- Plus, in a recent article on Emily Dietz - she talked of the possibility of another year, making it sound like there have been early discussions (she is a senior)
*Of course one or more could graduate/move on but you get the point

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
