Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 5078792, member: 6979"] interesting - didnt think of all that but otoh - a player like mintz didnt enter the portal so he cant play ncaa basketball next year right? why?bc there's a rule that you have to enter the portal. and he didnt. just need clear rules to buttress those already in place. the portal rules are too blurry and undeveloped, imo...they tweak them every year, too imo you can transfer and go to any school you want...but playing ncabb isnt some god given right...there's an org that runs it and sets boundaries to protect all parties involved even just the players themselves deserve to know and rest assured who their teammates will be when they make their decisions. there's a lot of people's interests on the line when a single player makes a decision where to play. and they all deserve some clarity beyond the whims of who throws the biggest bag over the course of the offseason, imo. is it fair to a player who commits to a school and then the starting center bounces in the middle of the offseason leaving a gapin hole in the roster? no! i dont think there's an issue with letting players transfer [I]as students[/I] but I do think that [I]after a player has committed and SIGNED with a school that needs to mean more than just words[/I]...and backing out of that should come with penalties... by all mean let a player transfer to another school but sorry cannot play for that new school this year after committing to your previous school for that year. tough luck. how many different times do these players need to be able to switch schools? its getting ridiculous with 4 or 5 different schools in the player histories now...i dont really have a lot of sympathy for a player that signs with his 4th school and then decides he wants a 5th instead...life has consequences for decisons. time to learn in school. if theres a serious excpetion thats a different story. and those cases already usually work out fine for me i just see it as player rights and students rights arent the same thing...and the ncaa has jurisdicton over player rights, to some degree...players used to have to sit out a year to transfer...just bc nil came doesnt mean ncaa cant regulate their sport anymore.
