[QUOTE="Richard7125, post: 941608, member: 5703"] I like this discussion. Just so you know I’m coming from the perspective of student-athlete versus athlete-student (ie you are a student first and college athlete second). I’m not saying that is the only way to consider it, but that’s where I’m coming from. I’ve read the stories of athletes wanting to transfer to be closer to a dying/sick parent, relative, etc. [B]I know some of these are real[/B], but I also think the majority are embellished to enable a transfer to be immediately eligible to play. At one time that was the only way for schools to get transfers to play immediately. Secondly, if a person really wants to be home with the sick/dying relative, do they really need the extra demands of college football/basketball in addition to regular school and exams? Most people when they have sick/dying relatives usually need to reduce time-consuming extracurriculars to spend more time with the sick/dying loved ones. I simply don’t buy that sitting out a year is an egregious hardship in these situations. Some might argue it's cathartic to play, but it's certainly not some disenfranchisement that people want to suggest [/QUOTE]
