Bama is the worst at this. But to be honest, since Butch has gotten there, UT has too. There will be fewer "forced transfers" with this rule.

Will it really make much difference?

I guess my question would be how many transfers are "forced" as opposed to just being told they'll never see the field if they stay.


I may be completely wrong but I assumed it was the latter scenario a vast majority of the time.


I guess it could help insofar as their current coaches/programs having much more incentive to help them find a new school/program even if I imagine that's already a normal undertaking.
