SIAP.

ESPN host Matt Schick put a tweet out today: I spoke w/ an NCAA official this week who was “95% certain” transfers will soon be allowed to play immediately in basketball & football. Could be a one-time freebie, plus grad transfer option. So in theory, a student-athlete could play for three different schools w/o sitting out.

Liberals are always looking for ways to kill good things.

Good for the students. That's what matters in the end.

It will take a little off the shine of the sport though.

torn on this. on the one hand, it's the fairest thing to do for the players. on the other hand, it's a death blow to certain schools b/c by the end of his JR year, Big Ben & the kid from Wyoming would be in such high demand that schools like Bama, AU, OSU, etc would be recruiting them and those schools would suffer

Not good for Bama depth with all the highly recruited bench warmers.

I've never understood the rule about having to sit out a year. It's a lot better for the players.

Good. If the players aren't going to get paid then let them at least get the best opportunity they can have.

Trying to eliminate free agency in college sports I suppose.

Seriously, I think this hurts the Bama, OSU, UGA's of the world more than other schools.


I mean, I think it would hurt the lesser schools way more. Yes, bench warmers are going to transfer. But then really good players will want to transfer in to be a part of that where they see a need.

I'm sure the parent schools will still be able to tell the player what other schools said player can't transfer to. So, they will still have a little control.

Watch what happens when HCs get fired, hell even position coaches.

I would much rather the rule be that a player can only immediatly play if their position coach or HC leaves.

That's a bad idea.

I only like it for grad transfers or a one-time transfer due to HC changes.

Otherwise, how do you keep coaches from recruiting kids from other teams? Would get very ugly, very quickly IMO. Could actually kill the sport.
