Im fine with it because it seemed every athlete who wanted to transfer was filing one and you knew they werent all real.
Sounds like laziness to me.

I can see where this is a case by case issue - the NCAA has to research and investigate each case and determine which one's justified a waiver. The avaialibity of a waiver worked perfectly for the Prosch kid a couple of yrs ago at AU. I was glad to see him get to play ball before his mother passed away.
I wonder what criteria the NCAA used to determine eligibility? Is it for parents only, grandparents, legal guardians, sibilings? Is it for illness only and what kind of illness/at what stage of illness does it become a hardship on the student-athlete?
