Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1778676, member: 40"] Sorry, but that isn't true. Many companies impose penalties for bailing within one year. I.E., you might have to return signing bonus money, etc. Or you might be on the hook to pay back tuition assistance money utilized if you leave within a certain timeframe after utilizing those perks. Very common. That doesn't "stop" you, me, or anyone else from leaving necessarily--but it is a deterrent to prevent unnecessary job hopping or "take the money and run" chicanery. Similarly, a one-year transfer sit out rule doesn't unduly restrict players from seeking different situations to continue their career if they chose to transfer. Secondly, being an NCAA athlete is not a "profession" in the literal sense, despite the time commitment associated with being a high major D1 athlete. [/QUOTE]
