The NCAA has denied Wichita State’s request for a legislative relief waiver for Teddy Allen on Wednesday afternoon, ending a seven-week wait to initially determine Allen’s eligibly for this season.
WSU’s foundation in the claim was Allen’s decision to transfer from West Virginia to Wichita State was to improve the quality of his mental health by being closer to his support system in Boys Town, Neb. West Virginia was also allowed to give a stance on the waiver request, although it is unknown what West Virginia’s position was.
WSU does have the right to appeal the decision and has indicated it plans to do so, though that process could also take weeks to decide.
