[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 545831, member: 2426"] If I remember correctly: Several years ago there were "hardship" waivers. If you had a parent who became sick and you transferred close to home to help take care of them you could get a waiver. Then it changed to a need to prove "egregious" behavior by the school.(I believe with the idea that nobody would be able to) When it appeared that players from Ole Miss were actually going to put a lot of Ole Miss and NCAA dirt in the public to actually prove egregious behavior, the rules were very quickly changed to what they are now. I think it goes to much more than just what he players can or can't do. The NCAA professes that players commit to the school and not the coach. The coaches do not recruit that way. The coaches recruit with relationships and with proclamations that the coaching staff's NFL connections, system, or training will get the players to the NFL. If the NCAA wants the players to be committed to a school, then they can and should enforce standards of recruiting that ensure the coaches recruit in that manner. Either the NCAA should treat players like they are students and attending school for academic reasons, or they should treat the players like they are employees. At the moment, they treat athletes as students when it is in the best interest of the NCAA. Then they treat athletes as employees when it is in the best interest of the NCAA. [/QUOTE]
