If a player graduates with college eligibility remaining, they can play elsewhere right away. (That’s as long as they’ve still got time left on their five-year clock.

That is what I said in my earlier post nitwit.

Then why were you arguing against it when you said this?

RD_Dawg said: Shouldn't need any school's permission to go anywhere if he graduates and if the rule was challenged in court there's absolutely no way it holds up.

And then you said: You are arguing about what you think the rule should be as opposed to what the rule is.....

I am not so sure: A kid exchanges his amateur eligibility for a scholarship and everything that entails. He has four years.

The rule, as I quoted clearly says as long as a kid has time left on his 5 year clock, and has graduated he can transfer anywhere he wants. The SEC stepped in and made another ruling, but it was then waived by the SEC.
At that point, Mo Smith should have been able to transfer anywhere he chose per NCAA rules.
You can't say one thing, then when called on it turn around and say you didn't say it.
