No, I’m happy to answer. I’m actually not fascinated by you, Niles. I realize this must be a bit disappointing given the urgency to share your views on twitter, message boards, and podcasts. Rather, I’m fascinated by the Dunning-Kruger effect that you so well represent.NilesGold wrote: Thu Apr 23, 2020 9:30 am I'm not sure why I continue to be a subject of fascination/discussion for you. No need to answer that here though...
Report: NCAA Expected to Approve One-Time Transfer Waiver
Per Ralph D. Russo of the Associated Press, in addition to moving toward granting student-athletes rights to their image and likeness, the NCAA is expected to approve a new one-time transfer waiver, both of which are expected to go into effect next season.
This rule is scheduled to be voted on May 20.
The one-time transfer rule open the door to what essentially amounts to college basketball free agency, providing Kentucky coach John Calipari with a potential host of new options to choose from.
Because they wanna be nice by allowing immediate eligibility, but not be too nice. Typical NCAA behavior.

I suppose anything is possible, but nothing I've read suggested this. I don't think they're contemplating it going into effect in January... it would either give immediate eligibility for the start of 20-21 or the start of 21-22.inthescoop wrote: Fri Apr 24, 2020 10:21 pm I’m hearing that they will give immediate eligibility to transfers however, they won’t be able to play until January 2021, which I’m ok with.
I think the NCAA was not clear initially, they clarified after.inthescoop wrote: Sat Apr 25, 2020 8:36 am I guess I just understood this tweet incorrectly. https://twitter.com/jonrothstein/status ... 35203?s=21
Nope. It was interesting to here tre allude to the fact that not everyone was completely bought in last year despite what it may have seem from the outside. I have a feeling Sean might have been one of those guysInnervisionsUMASS wrote: Thu Apr 30, 2020 12:55 pm Looks like the proposed transfer rule might be in jeopardy. How might this factor into Fernandez? He'll need a waiver to play immediately, I believe... chances of that happening? If it doesn't, does that change your opinion of the forcing out/nudging out/booting out/kindly suggesting he leave/whatever you call it of Sean East?
