INSIDER: What I know about Rasir Bolton waiver timeline
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams

What is his argument then? I genuinely don't know. I know it's not a sick family member or a coaching change.
I could be wrong but I don't think anyone ever nailed down the specifics. Prohm played it close to the vest and Bolton's family was pretty quiet about it, too. There was some speculation about the coaching staff being physically and/or verbally abusive but that was mostly just based on the video of the Penn State coach shoving one of his players during a game last season.
His coach at Penn State had a lot of problems. There was even an incident where I believe the coach was suspended because he put his hands on a player.
That seems the most likely option.
Others have pointed out, however, that has the problem that if Chambers was doing something abusive (e.g., hostile learning environment, inappropriate touching or sexual harassment, etc.), then there should be lawsuits against him, Penn State should be investigating him, and he should probably be on the road to being fired and disgraced for it.
If what went down was not bad enough to trigger any of those processes, is it really bad enough to engender a waiver? Or is Chambers just a garden-variety *******?
Would that be enough on its own? I guess we will see.
No it doesn't seem very logical at all.
The NCAA should have told Iowa...
"A lack of organization or procrastination on your part does not make it an emergency or priority on our part."
OU and UT have really done it this time.
Therefore, the NCAA is going to punish the heck out of Iowa State.
Would someone please start a new thread when we actually know something? I have likely wasted enough time reading through all the speculation on this thread to find out we knew nothing more than when we started
You better believe 3 or 4 people will start threads as soon as it hits twitter.
It's a LOT better reason to allow an immediate transfer than just because your OC left.... that's for sure.
If the precedence has been set by Oliver Martin that you should get an immediate transfer release if an assistant coach leaves, then the floodgates will now be open folks. Assistant coaches leave almost every program every year nearly.
You think Penn State is going to launch an investigation? Remember their coach from like 15 years ago?
Per The Athletic article:
’’ There is no timetable on the NCAA’s decision, but in talking with his own compliance people, Prohm was hopeful he might learn of a decision in two weeks at the latest."

Reminds me of being young and my parents on the family vacation telling me "Just a little bit further and we will be there". Then they would say it again like 4 hours later.
