    The NCAA is doing so much for the athlete

    Who the fuck is this intentionally obtuse? They denied someone’s waiver to be near their dying mum. Go fuck yourselves, NCAA propagandists.

      The rest of the quote adds a lot of context:

      “The NCAA right now is doing so much for the care of the student-athlete. Mental health, financially for parents. This fits in all the group of things that they’re talking about helping student-athletes with. And that’s why we feel like this should be a no-brainer. And we need it done sooner than later because it’s really stressful for him. And it’s not about us. It’s not about playing. It’s not about practice. It’s about him and his mental health.”
