re: Alabama Denies Transfer For Daisha Simmons...

Yes it is. I'm not sure what is tripping you up though, so let me assist. Daisha's sixth year would be given to her as a graduate student, meaning she is a graduate student in her fifth year and sits out, and she gets a sixth year. Sterling got a sixth year to BE a graduate student (the same appears to be true for both of the other links as well). All are compelling, but Daisha's is different.

The reason Daisha's situation is so rare is because graduate students generally qualify for a play immediately waiver. So no one has to sit out unless their school is run by a bunch of petulant children who would punish a girl with a sick brother.

So the case resulting in a sixth year of eligibility for a graduate student--which mind you, is the first of its kind--doesn't strike you as "unique."
