NCAA denies Kerwin Okoro’s hardship waiver despite the death of his brother and father

Almost three months before the 2013-14 college basketball season tips off, Rutgers is already dealing with a controversial call.

The Scarlet Knights reportedly lost the services of a key transfer due to a decision by the NCAA that has sparked outrage on social media.

Former Iowa State guard Kerwin Okoro did not receive a hardship waiver that would have allowed him to play immediately for Rutgers this season, the Newark Star-Ledger first reported Tuesday. Okoro, a Bronx native, announced he was transferring to Rutgers in May to be closer to his family after his father died in December from a stroke at age 72 and his brother died from colon cancer two months later at age 28.

the NCAA blows. this is just another example. maybe they'll reverse it if there's enough backlash like they did with the Marine case. :shrug:

While I think he should get a hardship waver, the decision doesn't mean that he can transfer, all it means is that he can't play immediately and has to sit out a year, he doesn't even lose this year it just gets moved out one year. As much as basketball players are on the road in the spring semester if he really needs to transfer closer to his family does he really need to be playing basketball this year?
