B1G Proposing No-Sit Transfers

[maxxyz]

If a school takes a transfer they lose a scholarship the following year? Unless the kid transfers down.

I agree. Shift the penalty from the student to the school. Maybe an annual limit of transfers a school can accept per year? Or a transfer becomes a “recruit” and is part of the 25 recruit max per year?

I think they should sit a year but they shouldnt lose a year of eligibility.

I’m in the minority on this and here is why. I think the kid should sit a year but not lose a year of eligibility.

If you haven't redshirted, you don't lose the year of eligibility because you are allowed to designate the year you have to sit out as your redshirt year. Anthony Gill, who played power forward for UVa, transferred from South Carolina after being on that team for two years. He hadn't redshirted, so he played two years for us after sitting out for a year and counting that as his redshirt year.

It’s a good thing for the player.

I don’t think the big schools would benefit as much as people think. There’s only so many roster spots. If they poach a kid from one school, the 4* kids behind him will be ticked and might look to transfer. That would ripple down to our benefit. That’s why Adams transferred from OK. Making it easier for them to do so, once - is not a horrible idea.

Let’s say some 4* WR doesn’t want to sit at Penn St, uses their one time “free” transfer to come here and now they can’t transfer without penalty? That sounds good to me.

It’s a good thing for the star player. Not the player that no other school wants.

Don’t doubt for a second that this isn’t designed for the factory schools. The schools that make the most money.

It's definitely hard to wrap your head around, but currently it really stinks for the kid who is in a bad situation and needs to restart.

Seems like there should be something put in place to limit the "free agent" mentality, and limit schools from building their program by weakening others.

Would it help if there was a limit that a team could take? Not sure what the magic number would be, but something like 3 a year? Or maybe 10 over a 4 year span?

no - if a kid is sitting here, he might look at a G5 school

I think this would be necessary. The part I’m wondering about is would it also require expanding the size of an incoming class? Limit the number of transfers in, but not out. Incoming class would have to make up for unknown losses right? Now if that happens, did we just enable larger classes for the “haves” too? Can’t reduce scholarships for transfers. Remember, less scholarships was considered putting the student athletes at risk and got the NCAA to drop the restrictions on PSU. I think it’s a big mess if it happens.
