re: The one-time transfer rule for athletes in all sports has been approved by the NCAA

the same year as fields we had another guy, also transferring from UGA (luke ford), want to tranfser back to his home state to be closer to his ailing grandfather. He was denied. Fields didn't get enough PT as a true freshman as he would have liked and was granted. It's a fricking sham.

Tate Martell, from Nevada, commited and decmottied from Washington, committed and decomitted from A&M, enrolled at OSU, transferred from Ohio State to Miami without sitting out and is now going to get to transfer again without sitting out. But the NCAA would let Kolton Houston play football for three years because a steroid injection for an injury in high school and traces still weren't flushing his system. The NCAA denied Kerwin Okoro a hardship waiver when he tried to transfer from Iowa St to Rutgers (he's from NY) to help his mother after his father died of a stroke and his brother of cancer in the span of two months . The NCAA denied Terry Henderson a 6th year because he played seven minutes of a season before a serious injury ended his season. Seven minutes was enough to cost him his last year of eligiblity. Bryan Burnham of Boise St missed an entire year to illness (I think it was mono) then tore his ACL in the season opener another year. Waiver for 6th year denied, appeal denied. But hey, if you're an elite prospect not getting enough playing time, by all means, create a bullshite hardship the NCAA will rubber-stamp your waiver and send you on your way
