[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 617692, member: 1191"] It's not that I like defending the NCAA. There is MUCH I'd like to see changed about it, but there are rules in place for a reason, and abandoning rules is not generally a good idea. Maybe this is the tipping point to see real meaningful change in the NCAA transfer policy. Hopefully so. I also hope we don't end up regretting the unintended consequences that come with the change. At this point there is no recourse for our players unless parents mount a sizable and quick legal challenge. Even then, it's likely that all it would do is by an additional year of eligibility, as this year would be in the rear view mirror. I'd like to see that. And that's what I said 20 pages ago, or even in another thread, when I tried to tell everyone that it was highly doubtful any of these guys were gonna play this year. If not for the UM debacle in the way they handled their transfers, we most likely wouldn't even have Sims for this year. Everyone told me I was nuts though, and that the NCAA would easily grant waivers for these cases. Al I've attempted to do is point out to everyone on this board that there is a process, and that process has been in place for a long time, and it's absolutely predictable. Whether you guys think it's fair or not doesn't matter. It's currently the process we have to go through. Maybe if we have free agency next year we will all be happy, but I doubt it. There always has to be a bogeyman when things don't go our way. [/QUOTE]
