    They're applying for a waiver this week. Who knows when it will be answered and decided.

    Should find out tomorrow or Wednesday about Stanley's waiver.

    Kunkel is on record as wanting to sit a year, get stronger, and more acclimated to Xavier and our style of play. When he transferred to X, he had zero intentions to seek a waiver. Now that the NCAA is giving waivers out left and right, they are pursuing the option. I am not optimistic about the waiver being approved for Kunkel.

    I thought that it was also due to every one basically getting a "free year" as well right? Basically this year won't count so why not just try to get a waiver and see what happens?

    Exactly. This year won’t count against his eligibility, so why not play?

    Yes. According to a Steele interview, he pretty much said the same thing to him. Of course the NCAA knows of his initial desire to sit which probably doesn’t bode well for his chances.

    The whole idea of a waiver is that the player changed his mind and wishes to play immediately.

    Tell that to the wise and consistently rock-solid gatekeepers at NCAA high command.

    Originally, the idea of the waiver was that there were circumstances that were a reason that the rule that a player sit out for a year should be waived. Such things as a sick parent or other things along that line that should be considered. The player not getting playing time at their original school and wishing to get more playing time, or the opportunity to play at a higher level institution, were not considered sufficient reasons.

    There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to how they are deciding it now.

    Watch Stanley get denied and Kunkel get approved.

    That would be the most 'NCAA' outcome..ever
