WeaponX Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 "The Transfer Working Group has referred to the Committee on Academics an idea that would allow immediate eligibility for students who meet certain academic benchmarks," said Michelle Hosick, the NCAA's associate director of public and media relations. "What those benchmarks would be, no one knows yet. The decision will be driven by data. The Committee on Academics meets next in October and will begin discussing the concept. ... It's not going to be voted on in the 2017-18 legislative cycle." http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/20606338/ncaa-mull-working-group-proposal-immediately-eligibility-transfers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAW Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 The rule should simply be immediate eligibility if the coach leaves or is fired. To make it applicable to any transfer, grades permitting, is ridiculous. I can't imagine this passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasmade Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 So basically college free agency. Sweet. I see no way this can possibly end poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a step closer to getting payers paid if it goes poorly. Long term win for short term insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way it is going to happen is that if the system breaks. This isn't a system breaker since guys won't transfer nearly as much as insecure fans think they will, but it will punish the fans instead of the athletes, which is better because the NCAA doesn't care one bit about the players.

I don't disagree, but what I'm referring to isn't an NCAA issue. As long we're talking about student athletes at state funded universities, then Title IX is going to prevent them from getting compensated financially. They're not going to sit idly by while football and men's basketball players rake in cash, well earned cash mind you, and the women's volleyball team gets squat.

BobbyPhil1781 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 LOL So transfer at your own will? Nah. If the coach leaves or specific circumstances (family deaths etc), go for it. Just b/c you don't feel like being at School A anymore would be stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I never understood why a player must wait a year if the coaching staff he committed to is no longer there. There shouldn't be a year delay in transfers for those situations, but if you want to transfer cuz you suck and want to play then yes you need to sit and wait.

BigD88 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 So if a coach genuinely emphasizes academics and ensures his players work hard in the classroom, he gets rewarded for their good grades by having his players allowed to transfer anywhere without penalty? Yup. No way anything like this backfires. None whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 It'd just mean that every off season is a complete feeding frenzy. Not a fan unless, as others have mentioned, the coach leaves/is fired. What about sanctions that limit post-season eligibility that weren't related to the player in question?

Any other college student can transfer at their own whim. It's not like the schools are paying them or employing them. They're just college kids who happen to play a sport, right?

They're on full rides wins and get stipends. Some of them would also not get into the school in the first place without being a scholarship caliber athlete.
