And just like that, let the College Free Agency market ensue

 

[AAM62]

We need to be all over that starting now

Chris Bleich says thanks.

This is great for the "blue bloods" and players, not so much for all the other schools. Skill position players will be plucked by schools that are losing a top player but still have a good nucleolus.

nah, there are great players sitting benches at those schools to, ...it'll work both ways.

 

[upperdeck]

there will be a solid number of big school players looking to move as they get recruited over.. the bigger issue is kids not really making decisions until may.. then it will be a mad scramble for some schools.

 

[RandomGuy]

I know. Let's still deny Bleichs waiver.

People should look no further than BC. ND QB and Ohio State WR wanted to play right away. And they are.

Welcome to the 20th century NCAA. Sigh. Why they couldn't have done this in the spring, when it could have helped so many athletes, is beyond me.

The opposite of that is that you can also look at Wake Forest. Jamie Newman used is one year as a starter there to showcase himself and transferred to Georgia.

True. But that grad transfer rule has been around for awhile, I'm assuming this new rule doesn't impact that?

Newman also ran into instant competition. Georgia needed a QB, brought him in, and also brought in JT Daniels from USC. Perhaps something that will make a QB like Newman think twice in the future that the starting job is promised to them.

More likely to win the starting job by downshifting than moving to a factory. People should know, you'll get noticed wherever you are. See Wentz, Carson.

The NCAA needed to make sure that it benefitted the Blue Bloods first before it was approved.

Hopefully there's a large DT looking for more playing time next season. Maybe some OL as well.

Most spring sports already don't require transfers to sit out. The current sit-out rule only applies to football, basketball, hockey, and baseball. The only thing that happened this past spring regarding transfers affected scholarship limits for returning 2020 seniors. If they stayed at their school, they didn't count against the scholarship limits, but if they went to another school they did.

how about a QB and a couple of WRs who can catch the ball too? wish list time!

I understand that. I believe there were some football and basketball players who would have transferred if it was a lock they would be eligible at their new school immediately. Some did transfer and the NCAA elected not to grant them immediate eligibility (mostly football players).

I think a bunch of them would have liked to have transferred to a place closer to home during a pandemic or where they (and possibly their family) would be safer during these troubled times.

Disgusted with the NCAA for holding on to the old rules in the wake of the biggest pandemic in over 100 years. Especially when they were going to do away with the transfer wait requirement in less than a year. I think they put the needs of the schools in front of the well being of the athletes in the middle of a pandemic.

Unacceptable.

I wonder if under recruited younger guys will be more likely to leave after making a splash at a lesser school, knowing they'll have more time to compete for a job elsewhere. Grad transfers only had incentive to leave, if they thought they would start immediately.

Was Newman beat out for the starting job or did Daniels inherit it after he opted out? I saw one article that said the latter and that Newman was expected to start.

 

[Wrinkle]

I think this could aid us, but I'm not sure

 

[JRHEETER]

I think this will benefit all schools to be fair.

A lot of great kids behind a lot of other great kids on the factory schools that will be able to see an opportunity now coming to a school like Syracuse.

In high school it’s a lot of “well I am going to Alabama to play football.”

then they get there and realize if they had picked one of those small schools they might have had impact playing time and could be actually seen on draft boards etc

This is why it's important to not finish 2-9. Players looking to leave Ohio State and Notre Dame and start somewhere else may consider a .500 ACC school, but not this 2-9 crap.

Can Newman transfer here? If he isn't going to start and eligibility for this season does not count, would it be possible to grab him? He is used to the ACC and a fast paced O.

Yup there will be a lot more higher end talent stuck behind 5 stars on Blue Bloods moving down stream to get playing time than their will be high end talent moving upstream looking for more “exposure”

The Jamie Newman’s of the world will be exponentially less than the Triston Jackson’s of the world

If your an entrenched starter at ANY P5 school (by default will be on TV and playing against top talent) putting up stats, you risk a ton by making a gamble that you will get a similar amount of PT on a blue blood. Also the blue blood teams team focusing on you is an additional risk (same snaps less focus) This comes with an upside that is only potentially marginally more beneficial (and that potential benefit is totally dependent on the new, much more talented, team will provide you the same number of snaps and similar focus of the scheme (targets, carries etc) to highlight your talents)
