HR (human resources) likes zero tolerance as it minimizes their risk. If they make 'common sense' decissions they take risk.
The NCAA has little risk to worry about, what is the biggest risk for the NCAA? Public opinion when they don't let a big name, Fields, go to a big name, OSU, for a big reason racial intolerance claim. Every exception (precedent) weakens the rule. Slippery slope and soon you have to admit you have no rule, transfer portal, or you go to no exceptions.
I don't accept the slippery slope argument, as waivers have existed in many forms for years without issue. The military for instance.
In almost all walks of life things are handled in shades of grey. I have no idea why people think this is where society needs to draw the line. LOL
I will leave you with some wise words: "Only a Sith deals in absolutes" LMFAO 😂
