Ok, but of the four players you're talking about, only one got a waiver.
Chloe Jackson graduated from A&M and so as a grad transfer, these rules wouldn't apply to her. Same with Minyon Moore, who graduated from USC in three years while playing top bball!
For Alisha Gray and Kaela Davis, both of them transferred from institutions (UNC and Georgia Tech) that would shortly after part ways with their coaches for reasons that probably
should have made them eligible for waivers. I have no doubt the coaching issues were part of what motivated their transfers. But
both had to sit out a season before playing for the Gamecocks, so the system didn't unfairly benefit either of them, and both probably had stronger arguments than Westbrook does.
So the only one left is Shepard, whom we've discussed at length previously.
So I am failing to see how any of those four cases show the system didn't work. I welcome some facts to the contrary.
