it could have also been avoided by currie doing some legwork before denying her initial request and therefore never would have been sent downstream to the committee.
Meh, enough stuff was proven by multiple parties to warrant a block. By the time it went in front of the committee Athletics was comfortable in how that stuff was being addressed, and so recommended the committee grant a release. Committee thought differently. Proved difficult for Athletics to fix that.
This all has a familiar ring to it.
-Romero asks for transfer release
-Athletics feels like there's shenanigans, puts the brakes on a transfer (as they should always do in such situations)
-Leti claims she's being held hostage/goes public.
-While Leti is running to the media and lawyers, athletics is properly vetting the situation, determines that shenanigans have been mitigated, recommends to committee that Leti be given release.
-Committee ignores recommendation of Athletics to release.
-Athletics bound by committee decision.
-Athletics gets policy amended via the proper procedural process
-Athletics releases Leti
