Apparently, Grimes' request for a waiver was because he declared for the NBA draft but withdrew his name in time to maintain his eligibility and Kansas did not have a scholarship available for him any more. Self supported his request for a waiver to play for Sampson at Houston. He got it.
Interestingly, Self's program is under NCAA investigation and Sampson has been in the past. Izzo has always been a straight shooter and the recent FBI investigation ('Zona, Louisville, LSU..et al.) completely exonerated him of any wrong doing...thus cementing his reputation for running a clean program.
You'd think the NCAA might want to toss Coach Izzo a bone with the Hauser request. My guess? They won't.
Completely exonerated him? Seriously?
