The North Carolina Board of Trustees held an emergency meeting to discuss legal options to help receiver Tez Walker in his quest to play this season.
Brown and athletic director Bubba Cunningham attended the meeting. Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz said the board heard from both in-house and outside legal counsel, but no decisions have been made and discussions will continue.
"This was an important meeting where we received some legal updates that will help inform us as we do everything possible to support our student-athletes," Guskiewicz said. On Jan. 11, the NCAA announced it would be cracking down on allowing waivers for two-time transfers, two days after Walker began classes at North Carolina. The guidelines, which were unanimously approved by the Division I Council, state that"multiple-time transfers who cannot demonstrate and adequately document a personal need for medical or safety reasons to depart the previous school are not eligible to compete immediately following their second undergraduate transfer.
Walker and North Carolina argued that mental health challenges at Kent State necessitated a transfer to North Carolina to be closer to his Charlotte home. They also argue that since he was unable to play at his first school, NC Central, because the season was canceled due to the pandemic, he should not be considered a two-time transfer.
