SEC commissioner, Greg Sankey, wishes to eliminate older players and limit transfers to one.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey wants to repeal transfer rule

Some want sweeping changes with few players on board.

sports.yahoo.com

In another article I read but cannot readily find he claims to want to enforce academics, too.

I hope the other commissioners get back to this.

Also, if we go back to the one transfer rule, schools and players should have to honor their contracts, otherwise. If a school overspends on a flop, so be it. If a player undersells himself, so be it.

My only modification would be if you graduate you can transfer if you have eligibility. That would transfer #2.

 

[UnknownOrange]

good with it

Also maybe let's stop 6th, 7th, 8th, and even 9th year guys from happening huh? What is the point of that?

agreed..transfer twice and you sit out

Then coaches get one transfer

Coaches are employees. Student-athletes are not (yet).

Even if student-athletes become employees in some respects, there remains a compelling interest in limiting transfers in service of the academic side of things.

This argument about coaches is going nowhere, nor should it.

In another article on the same topic, Sankey calls that is out stating that high schoolers don't have access because teams will play a proven 25-28 year old over an 18 year old due to proven ability, size, development. This limits opportunities for high schoolers and was never an intent of the college athletics systems.

He seemed to portray a sincere care for the academic mission. I wish I could find that article.

Coaches are under contracts, too. Enforce them and stop poaching, etc. I don't think you have a legal means of forcing a coach to work at only one or two schools and them be forced out of coaching for life.

So give them one free transfer. Then they can transfer as much as they want they just would lose a year of eligibilty.

There is a reason that rule worked so well.

Its this way in high school sports for the most part as well. You get one free transfer and then you have to sit out a year if you make more than one transfer.

Its too bad they did not have that rule before.....oh wait.

As I've indicated on the platform multiple times...

I'm game for:
1. one immediate transfer
2. any subsequent transfers require a 1-year sit out

Sometimes you do not need to re-invent the wheel.

This was the perfect system. It is time to bring it back.

Yeah, sports fans I hate to tell you this but the way this has all played out it has become an issue of rights, and the rights of organizations in this case will not supercede the rights of individuals.

 

[NKR1978]

I dont have a problem with the number of transfers, but really need to get back to 5 years to play 4. And for football and basketball there should be a hard age cut off. 24 should be the end.

 

[Cusefan69]

Yeah the horses are out of the barn on this one. Judges in football states will just override any NCAA requirements.

Yep, the NCAA and schools didn’t want to pay players and still do not want to make them employees. This free for all is on them.

Indeed. The way to "solve" this is to collectively bargain with college athletes. Otherwise it's either Congress enacting laws or the wild west we have at the moment. Neither of those are great outcomes.

Indiana wins the NC using older players, SEC commish cries foul. What a surprise

Whatever it takes to get the ball rolling.

I like the five years to play, no redshirts. Nobody over 23 or 24. One free transfer.

Rest assured, you can count on the Confederates to cry like little children when something doesn't go their way.

How about 1 every 4 years?

 

[ImperialOrange]

How about 1 every 4 years?

The answer is to somehow make the same rules for players and coaches. That's probably the answer for when players or coaches get poached, there would need to a separate rule for coaches that are fired and players that are cut.

Make all contracts 4 years max. Coaches and players poached have to buy out the remainder of their contracts, cut Coaches and players get paid the remainder of their contracts while plying their trades elsewhere or elect to forfeit their remaining contract to be free transfers? Rickie Collins can cash checks from LSU and Syracuse while playing at Kennesaw State and Lane Kiffen can pay Ole Miss while coaching at LSU. SEC and B1G teams could end up like post Ferguson Man United in still paying 2 coaches they fired while also paying their current coach. No buyouts allowed, cut coaches and players get full contract life payments. Poaching schools will have to account for these payments in contract figures to make desired players and coaches whole during their remaining deals if they REALLY want them. On the hook for 10m in NIL for cut players? Guess that school only has 13m NIL for new players that season.

Should stop some of the churn and offer some protection to conferences, schools and fans footing the bills for everything. Teams wouldn't be so willing to gamble on starters elsewhere just to bury them 3rd or 4th string if they don't pan out. Would also empower players more by allowing free will while also protecting their current financial and scholarship status.

One free transfer and the ability to transfer if your head coach gets fired/leaves is the way to go. They would never go back to having a situation where your coach leaves and you're stuck.

This is reasonable. A kid should never be stuck like that, the days of hiding behind “they are picking the school for academics, they shouldn’t be allowed to transfer” are looong over
