... and I can't help but wonder which pieces will get lost in the shuffle.
She played 6 games as a soph at Arkansas before transferring. She sat out the first chunk of her junior season so she effectively missed a full year of eligibility without redshirting which was the reason stated on an article I saw. Havent heard of them making exceptions like this before, but I'd expect we'll see more waivers and exceptions to come.
Correct. She left after playing six games her sophomore year at Arkansas. She then sat the spring semester at MSU then started playing her junior year after the following fall semester at MSU. Last year was then her senior year (fourth year playing in college).
It would appear initially to make sense that you would sit out the equivalent of a year of college (fall and Spring or spring and fall) but if it is midterm then you could complete the remainder of that prior partial year. However in contrast and using the same line of thought, if a player was redshirting then left at midterm then the player would have to sit the fall term and lose that period of play too.
With these other waivers granted, Destiny Littleton better be eligible this season.
She may be, the way things are going. But in fairness these recently announced cases are qualitatively different from hers.
NCAA did review Te’a’s waiver application and denied it.
