Even with his waiver denied, could Ben Stanley be eligible for Xavier this season?

A couple of hours after Xavier throttled Tennessee Tech on Wednesday night, an interesting report surfaced from veteran college basketball reporter Jeff Goodman.

Goodman took to Twitter and, citing sources, reported, "The basketball oversight committee (is) expected to recommend that the NCAA allow ALL transfers to get waiver to play this season. This would be proposed to the D-1 Council – which next meets on Dec. 16. There is a chance it could be voted on prior to the 16th."

In a subsequent tweet, Goodman followed up, adding: "This would be significant for programs such as Oregon (LJ Figueroa and Aaron Estrada), Xavier (Ben Stanley), Memphis (DeAndre Williams), Cal (Jarred Hyder) and Pittsburgh (Nike Sibande) - among others.
