I don't think there are ever going to be a lot of kids who graduate in 3 years, so I don't think this is a big deal.

IMO, any football or basketball player who graduates in 3 years is either really really smart or got an education that isn't very challenging/helpful in the workplace.  The limits on their time with training and practice, the extensive traveling required, make this kind of accomplishment close to impossible.

Again, this whole notion that graduate transfers are actually going to another school and getting a post graduate degree is, based on what I have read and heard in investigative stories, simply not true.  Kids are taking advantage of a loophole in the NCAA rules; they aren't, by and large anyway, transferring to further their education.

In any event, I don't have a big issue letting athletes who graduate in 3 years transfer elsewhere and be eligible immediately.  There are so few of them, the impact on the sports they play will be negligible.
