Braxton Beverly graduated early and wanted to go to Ohio State. OSU gave Thad Matta a "vote of confidence," so he enrolled in summer school. When Matta was fired, Beverly went to NC State. The NCAA ruled that he was a "transfer" and had to sit out a year. He never went to a single practice or played in a game. He just took a couple of summer school classes.

3 appeals and a very expensive lawyer later, the NCAA agreed and granted him a waiver to play this year.
