Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 2292304, member: 27"] This is a reasonable compromise. I think all the kids that leave college before they graduate have hurt college basketball. It used to be that fans had 4 or maybe 5 years to get to know the players and then they left. I think that length of time is needed for the fans to build a strong bond with the players and for the players to mature into grownups. I think the NCAA should take the fans, who pay for everything and make everything possible, into account when making these kinds of decisions. That means players shouldn't be free to jump ship with no restrictions to another school. This is going to alienate and confuse fans and going to lead to some teams having really screwed up rosters. That all adds up to making the game harder to follow, less competitive and less attractive. I would be okay with a tweak to allow immediate transfer when the head coach leaves (like done when a team goes on NCAA probation). [/QUOTE]
