NCAA looking at letting D1 transfers play immediately
- Thread starter Delco Lion
- Start date
Great. So then you have to recruit all of your players every year. That makes a lot of sense.
Agree with lurker, you'd have to recruit you entire team year in and year out....unless you change the rules so a four year scholarship can be offered and accepted; if they player opts out, he/she has to sit a year. If the school offers a year to year, no problem.
Of course there will be no inducements. Nah, that could never happen.
I think when coaches change, the players should have some flexibility, but to have open season every single year is actually anti-academic.
Would a kid be able to transfer every year?
Freshman: texas
Sophomore: usc
Junior: michigan
Senior: alabama

The ncaa is all about academics. Remember, part of the reason emmert sanctioned Penn State was that the academics were not in order.
Potentially, but it looks like they would have to sit out a year if they opt for a 2nd transfer.Would a kid be able to transfer every year?

"The only potential restrictions are that student-athletes would be asked to meet a minimum GPA, in order to transfer immediately, and that any additional transfer would require the student-athletes to sit out a full year. "
poor idea. already the grad transfer rule is being abused and not holding to original intent - i.e. allowing a player to find a school he can pursue grad school in a major not available at his current school.
This would be a disaster for G5 schools and even some lower tier P5 schools
I think that either the student athlete gets a guaranteed 4 year scholarship and they must stay all four years, unless the coach leaves or there are NCAA sanctions, or the athletes get a one year scholarship and can be free agents after every year.
so if some player blows up at say....Eastern Michigan....he can transfer to Ohio State the next year and start on a national championship team?
Imagine micah parsons heading into his junior year at nebraska:
"I am down to five schools for my junior year: ohio state, alabama, usc, florida state, and michigan."
Then we will wait to hear when parsons makes his official visits.

Does the fairly recent rule about giving stipends to kids, which can vary according to a formula that figures out overall expenses or some such, still exist? Don't hear much about it anymore. PSU being a more expensive school was able to give higher value stipends than others, if I recall.
Thanks.
Stipends are still paid. Maybe one day we'll see Dabo eat his words:

As if that dipshit could do anything else, except maybe teach gymn.
You'd need a way to prevent schools from renting players. I say if you accept a transfer, his 'ship is on the books for the rest of his eligibility, no matter how long he's at the school.
The only rule more stupid than this proposed rule would be to let schools trade players back-and-forth.
Hard to believe this idea ever got out of a conference room discussion.

States don't even allow high school kids to do this when they determine a transfer is being done solely for athletic reasons....
Now other coaches can just come in and recruit PSU payers on the roster. Sounds like a horrible idea. Coaches will be recruiting high school and college players now.
This really seems to have come out of the blue. SB Nation has a little more info on whats driving this. Several other articles seem to imply this is all about giving the "student" more power. Could see players announce during the season they will be leaving. Ugh...

I think in the end the only change will be that getting a realese for scholarship money will be removed. That way a kid can't be blocked from transferring by a coach. I don't think the coaches or schools want open season for poaching players.
Practical effect would be that the most "elite" of schools/FB programs, like Alabama (perennial National Champ contenders) would be able to use other schools, even other Div1 schools, as minor leagues. They would be able to cut down a bunch on High School recruiting.
Every School graduates some players each year and that's part of the mystery of College FB to see how the new kids will play when they become starters. In this world, if Alabama lost 5 starters, they could reload with proven players/stars who play for teams that won't contend - even Top 15 schools wouldn't be able to compete for their own player's services if their player was offered a chance to start on last year's NC team.

No more disciplining or suspending players because even if they did do something wrong they are leaving next year because you are mean! I can play for anyone so you better be good to me and if not just watch me transfer!
Sounds like the movie one on one with Robbie benson.
"Henry Steele: All the way up with a red hot poker. I can play anywhere I want."

We would also see though, perennial also-rans like Iniana, Pitt, etc becoming able to recruit HS players, and sometimes being able to field a qualified team of 1or2&done players.
Unless a player is 5****** and already NFL material, they don't normally have a chance to be a starter on a NC-contender as a true freshman. So under this scenario, 4 star players might well go somewhere where they can start as a freshman for 1 or 2 years, and then come in to replace a gap on one of the previous year's NC contenders.
I'm not for this but it would be very interesting to see how schools handle it. As I see it, some of the top schools become almost like all-star teams, recruiting most of their players as freshman & sophs from other colleges. Many will try to do business as usual, but will lose a few & pick up a few. And some will try to recruit 1 & done's.

Looks like Cardale would be correct in saying "We ain't come to play school". Academics would become secondary other than to have a satisfactory GPA.
Academics is already secondary. Actually, that ranks it too high.
