I initially misunderstood the excerpt you posted. For quite some time, players have been able to transfer to a different school without having to sit out a year. A judge ruled in the last year or two that there's no limit in how many times they can transfer after each season. If I understand the new rule, a player can transfer after the end of the season (i.e., start his new school in the Spring semester). As long as his grades are good in that Spring semester, he can then transfer before Fall semester (i.e., summer football camp) starts. You're right, it is getting ridiculous. I can see how coaches can now start letting players know "hey kid, you aren't going to get any playing time. Maybe you should consider transferring to another college." Of course, the problem for coaches is that almost all of the players are on scholarship. There's a limit to 85 total scholarship players in a year (at least in the SEC -- pretty sure it's nationwide), and I don't know how easy it is for a university to cancel a scholarship for a player making good grades. |

I posted this before but I'll post here again. When you make the NFL look like it a well run organization, you know you've fucked up.

Easy, fans don't really give a shit about coaches they're invested in players. If you want to maintain a fan base you need to retain players. |

I'm saying players should have at least as many rights and as much protection as coaches. Easy. Read. |

IF the players aren't loyal then fans won't be loyal. Stability is what creates not only winning teams but also fan interest. Don't be a dummy. Understand. |

Good to see decisions being made in the best interest of furthering the education of these students. We’ve all known that hasn’t been the case for many of these programs for years. The number 1 priority has been winning, and at all costs, too. There are high schools (ex: IMG Academy) that exist with the sole purpose of pumping out scholarship athletes. They’ve got Under Armour & Gatorade sponsorships and basically put kids in online courses for the purposes of traveling tournaments and competition. |

So the players should be captive to terrible situations for them cause you like to see them play for your team? That's your argument? And you think I'm the dummy??? That's exactly what they do in the NFL and every major sport, dummy. It's called contracts. They sign a contract that keep them on the team for a specified period. Owner understand something you apparently don't, player "loyalty" breads fan loyalty. Fans identify with the team through the players. College football is already damaged and it will only get (a lot) worse before it gets better if it ever does. The completely unfettered free agency every year is the most stupid thing ever. If the NCAA has no power to enforce rules then do away with the organization (it was a completely crap organization anyway, even before this portal and NIL). Ultimately the football programs (and maybe others) will split off from the schools such that they are a fully professional sports league and will only have a marketing tie to the school that they ""represent. There will no longer be any student athletes. |

When did I argue different? |

That's what you were arguing against, being captive. No it wasnt. You never even understood my point. And contracts don't hold you captive if they are one year contracts. Or two year contracts. |
