also, lol at the athletic department trying to make the academic side do their dirty work while simultaneously and purposefully trying to make them look bad. the athletic dept could have released her whenever they wanted to. like, pick a day within the last two months. any day. boom! that's a day that the athletic dept could have released her. it's like magic.
Not when a final AD decision had been made, per the handbook.
Also, I misspoke, Currie asked the Committee to reconvene. However, it's quite clear that he thought there was tampering going on, then when he felt that the tampering issue had been resolved, he requested the committee to reconvene and grant the release. The committee has been a component of the transfer process for quite some time, not always used or needed.
You don't grant transfers if you believe there has been tampering, particularly by former staff members.
