This is why Bennett just abruptly retired from coaching.

Yup, seems like college coaching will become a revolving door.

Probably does not belong on this thread - But.

Memphis is just as dysfunctional as ever.

Poor Tyreek.

Coaches need to stop signing players who are on their 4th or 5th college. Is the NCAA planning on doing anything to limit the number of transfers?

The only thing the NCAA is good at is ****ing up our waiver requests.

I don't think we've ever had a waiver decision fall in our favor. Maybe I'm wrong though...

I know of one, in volleyball, involving a medical redshirt for Giorgia Civita that was approved even though she had played in a couple more than the maximum number of matches allowed in the year she was injured, 30% of your teams total matches at that time in volleyball. In 2016, her first year as a Shocker she played in 11 matches which was 34.4% of the 32 matches (and 35.1% of the sets) the Shocks played that year. I asked Lambo how that managed to get her medical redshirt waiver approved and he said he didn't know. I am not even sure he realized she had played more than 30% of their matches in 2016. He said he lets the compliance department deal with that stuff. In any case, she did get the medical redshirt approved for that year.

Now it could be the NCAA is more lenient in sports like women's volleyball.

Well, "Matjek" needs to bite the bullet and identify as a female. His new female Croatia name is "Matylda - mighty in battle.".
Boom and done.
You're welcome.
