sigh...

I took the time and effort to look up and post the actual bylaws.  They are still there in my post to read.  If I'm wrong, show me where I am wrong.  But the uninformed wishcasting is unhelpful.  Show me where it says that Miami needs "grounds" to sign the release?  Show me where the NCAA mandates the criteria by which a school is required to grant a release?

One may disagree with the policy (I do), but under the NCAA bylaws, the current school has a ton of power over the player wanting to transfer.

For those claiming Miami can't restrict where Edwards goes - of course they can.  The default is that a player stays at his current school until his eligibility runs out.  There are particular rules imposed by the NCAA and conditions that must be met in order to disrupt the default and change schools.  The player needs to get the current school to sign the release.  By the rules, the school has absolutely no obligation to release a player.  In such a situation, the school has all the power.  The school is perfectly within its rights to say, "I'll release you, but only if you go/don't go __________".  If the player refuses to communicate, the school simply doesn't grant the release.
