Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 1023475, member: 2133"] Absolutely. I was a transfer student and I didn't have to sit out a year when I went to a better university. But allowing players to transfer willy-nilly interferes with the NCAA's first goal, which is to make gobs of money for university athletic departments. I don't agree with it. Ultimately, I think these lawsuits that players are filing to be allowed to unionize, be paid, etc. are going to open up some significant changes to how student athletes are treated including the transfer rules. It was one thing when schools were making a few hundred thousand off the football team and used it to buy uniforms for the other sports, but revenue has gone through the roof and in their greed they forgot the whole reason for college sports in the first place and kept their entire labor force removed from the negotiating table. The lawsuits are going to change that through court victories or settlements. [/QUOTE]
