That is a scary thought because the current product except for a few teams is dreadful.
At least the new kids will have a full summer this year to figure out the chemistry. Hopefully
My understanding is that if a graduating senior decides to come back and use their extra year of “Covid” eligibility, then it won’t count against the scholarship limits.
That is true.
Which would lead me to believe we’re going to see some pretty strong lower and mid majors with a group of 6th year seniors leading the way
I really enjoy Jay Bilas' work, but I think he missed it on this topic. While 1,000+ players in the portal is not solely on him (not even close), I do think that when certain rules or mechanisms in place compromise an industry or product, some level of regulation is required. College sports had that regulation in place. Yes, players were allowed to transfer from school A to B, but they had to sit out for a year. And beyond that, there was an appeal process in place, although admittedly, it was strife with inconsistent rulings.
Yup.
Only if they stay at their current school it doesn’t count against the limit.
You prefer the bureaucratic state which is controlled by the powerful programs to administrate? That's how Syracuse got 2 railroadings from the infraction committee. The higher level kids will drift up and there will be openings where they left from.
College hoops is going to become which coaches work the system to get players the hardest.
I sure as hell do!
I don’t think it’s that. I think this is simply what’s happening with fans everywhere because the ncaa is passing this no sit-out transfer rule. It’s a stupid rule that is going to dampen fan engagement. The increasing amount of one-and-dones have already hurt the college game and fan engagement to a large extent, but it’s gonna go to a whole other level with the transfer rule change. The NCAA should just pass the NIL rules and start figuring out a revenue sharing model and then go back to the old rule that players have to sit out a year if they want to transfer (with some exceptions, like the coach departing). The transfer rule change is a fig leaf to appease their vocal critics b/c they’re afraid of the NIL and revenue sharing and don’t want to give up the amateurism charade.
You must have liked it every time a player would transfer to Ohio state or Kentucky or some other such place, waiver granted. But Syracuse or others like it get the window closed in their face. I understand, you get yours.
Why should basketball and football players have to sit out a season when they transfer but field hockey, lacrosse, baseball, volleyball players can just go from one school to another without sitting out?
College athletes deserve to have the right to try to optimize their very short window of opportunity Everyone deserves that right, you know, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
It’s going to become permanent once the Supreme Court 9-0’s the NCAA on NIL.
Too early to tell in my opinion. I think what we know for sure is that the traditional financial winners are going to lose, and an outdated scam of a system will be permanently changed. This train has been coming for years, the fact that the NCAA and it's member institutions sat on their a-- and did nothing to prepare for it, is for me proof that the change is needed.
