I really hope wherever Trey Ziegler ends up that CMU gives him his unconditional release to play anywhere and that the NCAA waives the one year wait to play due to transfering. He literally doesn't have the option to stay and play after they fired (finally) his father. Normally, I am a big believer in making the kids sit a year, but I think this is a special circumstance.
Huh?? How does he literally not have an option?
He is going to stay at the school that just fired his father? No, sorry you don't grasp that. Plus, it would be very tough for whoever is next. Again, not really a choice.
I never said he had to say. But to say he has no choice is silly. He can transfer, CMU should release him to play wherever he likes -- I've always firmly believed kids should be able to transfer wherever they like, but there are rules to follow. One of them is to sit out. There's nothing here that is a true "hardship" to me. No sick relatives, the program isn't closing down, etc. I don't blame him for wanting to transfer, and agree it makes sense, but I don't think it makes any sense to bend the rules and grant him a privilege not available to others just because he's the coaches son.
If a professor's son plays ball and gets fired, does he get a waiver?
