Yup - we can blame the NCAA if it feels convenient. However, the Potter situation falls squarely on the athletic department and the compliance team.
All that needed to be done was file for a bullshit hardship waiver. All the NCAA needed was plausible deniability to grant eligibility. How UW didn’t understand this was a epic fuc*ing failure,
instead, UW challenged the system. Instead of filing a hardship waiver...UW wanted to challenge the rule.
The impact the outcome is/was a Potter is still ineleigbie. Total disaster.
