The Albany Times Union reports: “Chandler’s paperwork to the NCAA was sent in, but never finalized. The person on his case took a new job and didn’t complete it. As a result, his name won’t show up when NCAA rosters come out. It’s a problem.
Siena incorrectly applied the waiver to Chandler, according to the NCAA, even though his eligibility clock had expired.
“(Chandler) contends he is eligible under the ‘Pavia Waiver’ issued following Pavia,” the NCAA said. “However, that waiver applies only to student-athletes who, like Mr. Pavia, had years remaining on their eligibility clock — not to Plaintiff, who had exhausted both his four seasons of competition and his five years of eligibility. Siena misapplied the waiver and is subject to potential penalties if it fails to withhold Plaintiff from competition.”
The NYS Supreme Court agreed with the NCAA decision and ruled against Siena.
