We're talking about grad transfers.
Yes and even with grad-transfers, schools and conferences have always had the ability to restrict where their players go. Namely prohibiting their players from going to schools they'll be playing. Which seems completely reasonable. Would people be okay if the Navy invested years and hundreds of thousands of dollars training a Navy Seal, and then after a couple of years he decided he wanted to go work with Russia's military? I realize that's not a perfect analogy, but surely you can see the point. Train a guy and make him dangerous and then send him off to your biggest enemies. Seems sort of dumb, really.

Better analogy would be an appointment to West Point. Student gets a paid for education in exchange that student owes Uncle Sam and the US taxpayer 4 years of service in exchange for that education.
Athlete has committed to play for a university in exchange for a scholarship. That athlete has committed their amateur eligibility to that school. If they leave or graduate early then there are rules that govern how that remaining eligibility is treated.

I don’t need any anologies. I understand the program’s stance. I tend to side with the student-athlete, being a former one. I don’t think any player should be able to transfer and not sit out a year for whatever reason. I just think that one that’s put in the time to graduate with eligibility left should be rewarded for that and should be able to finish their eligibility wherever they choose.

Why would Saban want to just allow the depth he has developed to follow coaches around the SEC?

Non compete clauses are just plain common sense

Because coaches can up and leave a school at any time if they get offered more money.

His getting a degree is completely separate from his amateur eligibility.
But it's really not. The NCAA doesn't prohibit in-conference transfers. In fact, a lot of NCAA rules regarding eligibility change once you graduate (like having to sit out). This particular case is a conference rule not an NCAA restriction.

So? They also have waivers like the one granted last season to UGA. If you graduate it's different.

Sankey will have a hard time explaining himself if he doesn't grant the waiver. This is what he said about Maurice Smith:
quote:
"The standard for granting waivers has been clear and compelling evidence that there is reason for allowing an exception to SEC rules," Sankey said in a statement. "I found, among other contributing factors, that a student-athlete who graduates in three years and exhibits a strong commitment to his or her academic future provides compelling motivation to help them achieve their goals on and off the field."

just saying that the rule isn't unique to the SEC.
