Of course the NCAA when given the opportunity...

... decides to do the wrong thing. I mean... we'll let players transfer over a coaching change, but not so a kid can be closer to his ailing mother.

NCAA nixes FSU player's waiver over ailing mom

The NCAA denied a hardship waiver request that would have allowed Seminoles defensive tackle Darrell Jackson Jr. to play this season.

Obviously, I don't know the whole story and there could be more behind it, but outside looking in, this seems like a situation where you let the kid play out the last season of his career close to home.

I’m afraid the NCAA may be on borrowed time. The NIL crap seems like a half-hearted, it not totally lame-brained, attempt to stay relevant. But I think it’s opened up Pandora’s box. The big boys won’t feel the need to listen to them before long.

Sad to say, but if the SEC goes away, many of us will be feeling like Washington State must be feeling right now.

Depends on what the medical condition is. Maybe he legitimately did come home because his mom needs him. Or maybe he just wanted to transfer to FSU and they're using some minor issue to try to get a waiver. I always take these stories with a grain of salt.

Don't think the coaching thing flies anymore: https://www.cbssports.com/college-f...me-transfers-to-curb-ballooning-portal-usage/

Dude went to Maryland, then to Miami, and now wanting to come to FSU. Little fishy, he was on his 3rd school in 3 years. That's too much.

He can hang out in Tallahassee on FSU's dime, and then go pro. He just can't play.

Fair enough. that's true, I suppose.

Let him transfer and be on scholly, but he can still sit out a year from playing. It's the only way to rein this in.

The NCAA already gives one free transfer.
