I think because he's already transferred twice.Why died he need a waiver?
That being said, JT Daniels went to USC, then Georgia, then West Virginia and now he's at his 4th school. Rules should apply the same for everyone and the NCAA should be in no position to be denying kids the chance to play regardless if they became unhappy or whatever.
NCAA needs to be seen and not heard, they've had the gravy train for decades so they need to get on board the new train lest they get freight-trained themselves.
