Maybe someone here can speak to this.
Based on BE rules since Waters signed a NLI at Georgetown even though he was released he cannot play at another BE school:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/butler.sidearmsports.com/documents/2016/5/19/Butler_Student_Athlete_Handbook.pdfSee Page 10:
"Student-athletes in the sports of men’s and women’s basketball are not permitted to
transfer (directly or indirectly) from one BIG EAST institution to another BIG EAST
institution and compete in the sports of men’s and women’s basketball. However,
these student-athletes may transfer (directly or indirectly) from one BIG EAST institution
to another BIG EAST institution and may participate in sports other than men’s
and women’s basketball pursuant to the transfer parameters in the next clause.
There
are no exceptions or waivers to this rule. Student-athletes in all other sports may transfer (directly or indirectly) from one BIG
EAST institution to another BIG EAST institution and compete in any sport other
than men’s and women’s’ basketball, provided that prior to competing for the second
Conference institution the student-athlete serves a year in residency at the second
Conference institution. During the year in residency [two full semesters or three full
quarters (which shall be determined in accordance with NCAA rules associated with
transfers)] the student-athlete shall not lose a year of eligibility, and shall be eligible
to practice and receive athletically related financial aid. There are no exceptions or
waivers to this rule.
Special Notes
1. A student-athlete who signs a valid National Letter of Intent with a BIG EAST institution
is subject to the above-mentioned transfer policy for the sport in which they
signed the NLI.
2.
A student-athlete who signs a valid National Letter of Intent with a BIG EAST institution,
and is subsequently granted a complete release to said NLI or is granted a release
by the NLI Steering Committee, is subject to the above-mentioned transfer policy
for the sport in which they signed the NLI."Yet it's been stated that Creighton is pursuing Waters.
Am I missing something? Did Creighton just not get the memo? Seems odd a coaching staff would make that big of a goof, but the rules seem pretty clear.
