If coaches weren't so vindictive when placing restrictions on transfers, a rule like this wouldn't be needed.

I disagree. I think the vast majority of players like their present team. sure, some are discontented but they can transfer now; the new rule just prevents the coach from limited where they can go. no matter which way you slice it, sitting out a year is a deterrent from leaving. I think you'll see more movement down to lower level schools from guys that realize they are not good enough to get much playing time at their present schools.

Expect all schools to get inventive in how they target guys off other rosters. Also the schools I suppose can now grant scholarships on a year by year basis. Otherwise signing a grant is meaningless if they are free to go @ anytime


exactly what does getting "inventive" mean. I don't see the coaches spending tons of time trying to steal players that have to sit out a year.

And now player development will probably take a back seat


that would be stupid. you win with talent and a well coached team. these coaches better coach as best they can or they will get canned.

Might even make the game "whiter" and favor schools like Wisky and Iowa of the big Ten and even the academic institutions. Where guys go to be actual students and stick to their academic route.


this is one stupid comment and racist, imo. some of the dumbest explayers I've known have a degree from Vanderbilt. having players go from one school to the next doesn't result in a net loss or gain of any one race.

As soon as this negatively impacts Alabama, watch out. Especially if one or two kids transfer to Auburn or LSU. shite will hit the fan then.

Yes ....not mentioning any names!

If indeed a player still has to sit one year...this is all about nothing.

The four game redshirt rule is the key factor.

Every coach limits the destinations of a transfer leaving the program. If a transfer had a legitimate reason (e.g. health of family member) he could get a waiver from the conference office. Trying to imply that this is some sort of anti-Saban rule is ignorant and facile.

All this rule does is encourage 17-21 year olds to quit and further a participation trophy mentality. I can tell you a in favor of those things because of your "5 stars sitting on the bench" comment.

This is bullsh*t. Coaches will find ways to tamper with players at other schools thru third parties. It will cause a level of chaos all over college football and empower players to legally politic and convince other players to transfer to other programs.

Until colleges offer multiple year scholarships, this ruling makes sense

So the school can cut ties after 1 year but the player can’t?

Ok....and they can do that now...
Are you concerned as a Bama fan or a college football fan.

If I’m grasping these rules correctly, I believe it’s no big deal.
I repeat...the four game redshirt rule should negate any issues.

The last few years several players transferred from LSU to other schools.
Also several players transferred to LSU.
It’s a good thing.

You should think before you post. This rule is a DISASTER for college football and your post is so full of ignorance you should be banned for posting it.

This rule finally makes it fair for the athletes

It was ridiculous that the school can cut a player year by year but a player couldn’t leave without penalty

This ridiculous rule now empowers athletes to control college football rosters. This will cause more NCAA violations than any other NCAA rule. Tampering will be EVERYWHERE!

How do you not think this rule makes complete sense?

You think it makes sense to have a completely one sided contract?
