The Alabama Athletics department has sent a letter to the NCAA endorsing former women’s basketball player Daisha Simmons’ transfer to Seton Hall, reversing its prior position opposing the move.

“This afternoon, The University of Alabama contacted the NCAA to inform them that the University supports Daisha Simmons’ request for a waiver from the NCAA allowing her to be eligible to play basketball at Seton Hall in 2014-15,” Athletic Director Bill Battle said in a statement released via Twitter. “This gives the NCAA the opportunity to revisit the situation, if they so desire, and to consider information that could be provided by Miss Simmons, including documentation that could substantiate significant medical issues in her family, that could affect her ability to be granted a waiver to be eligible for competition immediately.”

The endorsement comes after a Title IX complaint filed by Simmons’ attorney, criticizing the conduct of the women’s basketball program. In his statement, Battle said the University’s initial position stemmed from a lack of communication on Simmons’ part and claimed the final decision was the NCAA’s, contrary to media claims. Battle also endorsed coach Kristy Curry and her staff, saying they had “maintained a high level of integrity and ethical behavior.”
