Message: [QUOTE="Oráiste, post: 2201080, member: 5974"] it's nothing like the reserve clause; it's more like (very lightly) restricted free agency I don't see how he is damaged here. If it is the graduate program at UNC that he values, there is nothing stopping from enrolling there; he can even accept a grant in aid from the UNC AD, but he can't play that first year. On the flip side, if it is playing immediately that he values, then there are any number of fine programs with excellent graduate schools where he can attend without having to sit. Whichever it is that he values the most - the UNC education, or playing immediately - both are available to him. On the other hand, Pittsburgh (and every school, frankly) has an interest in maintaining in-conference transfer restrictions for competitive purposes. Pitt (or some future school) may well lose such a suit, but it is far from a slam dunk [/QUOTE]
