ACC Discussion

Does this affect the ACC rule requiring SAs to sit two years if they transfer within the conference?

Completely separate rule.

I replied to Borzello and the guy who originally tweeted the link that question and they have not responded.

@RamblinRed or @ESPNjacket ?

It doesn't change any conference rules.

I'm always for getting rid of dumb rules that are just cheated around anyways.

You must really hate the NCAA rule book! That is 95% of it.

Then the ACC transfer rule should be at the top of your list. It's in place to keep in conference teams from poaching players from each other, which is noble enough. But the new contact rule should take of that problem. What it does is put ACC teams at a competitive disadvantage versus other major conference teams.

Oh I certainly agree there too.

Expect more of this once the OAD rule is lifted.

Not necessarily. The gleague will presumably be there as a more viable alternative to .... armed robbery in your grandma's car (allegedly) with a knife (?).

As opposed to Colonel Mustard in the kitchen with a lead pipe?

The 2 year rule was only for undergrads. Johnson was a starter at Pitt then graduated with 2 years of eligibility left . He is at UNC as a graduate transfer and was able to play immediately. Pitt tried to block him playing within the conference but finally gave up. UNC has too much pull in the ACC. ACC offices just down the road 45 miles from UNC and former UNC AD as the commissioner.

We also got Adam Smith from VPI as a grad transfer with immediate eligibility. I am sure the coaches losing these guys don't like seeing good players with opposing teams in the same league.

 

[RamblinRed]

FWIW, the ACC rule does not apply to grad transfers as they operate under separate specific rules.
Also, Buzz encouraged Adam Smith to leave VT after his JR year.

In fairness, the coaches simply have to 'suck it up'. If the player has successfully satisfied academic requirements to graduate prior to his playing eligibility ending, why should the coach prohibit the student athlete from attending whatever school they wish to attend?
