Cincinnati center Aziz Bandaogo will be eligible to play immediately after new information emerged that prompted the NCAA to reconsider his waiver appeal, he told ESPN on Monday.

Bandaogo, a transfer from Utah Valley, had his initial mental health waiver and appeal denied since he had transferred twice. In the face of pending litigation, set to be filed Monday afternoon, the NCAA first asked for a three-hour extension and then elected to reverse course upon receiving new information from the university.

"It's been a very challenging month for me," Bandaogo said in a statement sent to ESPN.
