A few weeks ago, our compliance department considered the medical hardship waiver a slam dunk. They turned out to be wrong.

This guy basically does not lose these cases.

The NCAA is a model of inconsistency and incompetence.

If by some chance we do lose this case, it will be used against us by every single opposing school we go H2H with for a potentially immediately eligible transfer who may need an exception (ie: VT won't go to bat for their players).

Victory Turkey above may have the only legitimate case for why we did not hire or consult with Mars. Otherwise the decision is penny wise and pound foolish.
