I think that was from 5 years ago and since then the NCAA has become more waiver friendly as they head towards reform . In February the NCAA was trying to figure out how to attach academic stipulations to transfers in order to grant immediately eligibility . In other words you have 3.0 or above and transfer you are immediately eligible.
There are so many small things that could be used in a waiver request that Its tough say what he would view as a hostile environment . We have had a string of transfers ,he was sick mid season etc especially if we consider the NCAA stating above that it was the students personal perception of a intolerable environment because that could be things outside of the team .
That we helped and that the MIzzou AD thanked us for the help leads me to believe the waiver was granted based on something that may not even be mentioned here.
In the email, Rice officials said the NCAA informed them the decisions to grant the hardship waivers "were not a judgment on the athletics environment itself or any individuals" and "were not based on whether the student-athletes' allegations are true or not."
Furthermore, the NCAA said the waivers "were based solely on the bases of what the NCAA called the students' personal perceptions of an intolerable environment."
