Under normal circumstances Riley would have to sit out the 2011-12 season under the NCAA’s transfer rules. That would leave him with just two years’ of eligibility. However, Riley is expected to seek a waiver from the NCAA, allowing him to play this season as well as the two following years.



Does anybody know if they've ever given a waiver without extenuating circumstances (school dropping basketball, etc.)?

I think they have granted some waivers due to family medical issues, though I suspect that "reason" has been abused. 

I think Herb Pope got a waiver to play immediately at Seton Hall when he transferred from NMSU, right?

Elliot Williams transferred to Memphis from Duke due to illness in his family.

Congrats to Eastern on being the best on-paper team in the West, and maybe the second best NBA Jam squad in the league. Glad they're back.
