re: Cade Mays transfer waiver denied, VOLS appealing

It was denied for one reason- the NCAA, as a general rule, denies in-conference, non-graduate transfers immediate eligibility. All the comparisons with Daniels (who didn't deserve immediate eligibility IMO), Franks (a grad transfer) and Wolf (another grad transfer) don't hold water.

Let me also point out that even if the NCAA had granted Cade's waiver, the SEC could have stepped in and denied it, making him sit out anyway. Not many realize the conference has to sign off on that particular scenario as well.
