(quoted without permission) Bylaw 14.1.6.2.2.2 14 Eligibility 1 General Eligibility Requirements 6 Full Time Enrollment 2 Requirement for competition 2 Full Time Program - 12 hour requirement 2 Waivers b Olympic, Pan American, or World University Games The NCAA Academic requirements Committee may waive the minimum full time requirement for any participant in the olympic, pan american, or world university games who, because of such participation, may lose eligibility for practice and competition in any sport Application of Legislation: According to a 1990 NCAA interpretations committee interpretation, the academic requirements committee may grant waivers of the minimum full time enrollment requirements only for actual participation in the games: Circumstances: SA had been participating with the national team during the fall of 1993 and was released Feb 1 1994. From Feb 1 through Feb 11 the SA was scheduled to stay with the olympic team in europe to be available for placement on the final roster should any of the other players sustain an injury. The appropriate waivers for participation for tryouts and competition for the national team were obtained. There are two other SAs participating with the olympic team from the applicant institution who will receive waivers of the minimum full-time enrollment requirement for any participation in the olympic games who, because of such participation, may lose eligibility for practice or competition. The SA, having been released just before participation in the olympic games and immediately after participation with the national team, will not be eligible for this waiver. Request: Waive the normal application ofthe 12 hour enrollment rule for the SA's situation and consider the SA in the same light as those who did make the olympic team. The request is based on the fact that the SA had no control over the date the SA was released by the olympic team and the disadvantage it created for the SA. Further, the applicant institution is four weeks into its current sementer, which would preclude the SA from being registered in a full-time program of studies.
