[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 941953, member: 1555"] The point I was attempting to convey was in response to your comments about tampering, and in particular the timing of the NCAA's rule changes. While I agree the most recent rule change limiting some transfers may slow tampering down a bit, I found it frustrating that the [I]previous[/I] rule change, which essentially eliminated prior transfer restrictions, came about at a time when NIL exploded on the scene. Assuming NIL led to more tampering when this started to happen, the NCAA chose to eliminate the one rule that could discourage it. That just didn’t make any sense to me. However, this boneheaded timing could be explained if in fact the NCAA was simply reacting to its inability to process the influx of waiver requests, rather than doing it as a response to NIL. After all, they have a history of being a reactive organization, rather than trying to get out in front of issues. Although my earlier post about the history of the NCAA’s rule changes around transfers was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, the bigger issue is that this is a symptom of ineffective leadership in the organization leading to totally reactive and often too-late responses to issues. This in turn often leads to multiple course corrections as we’ve seen with transfer rules. I recognize that part of the problem is the NCAA is not set up to have much real power – they serve the universities that have chosen to join the organization and are reluctant to upset the major powers in the revenue sports. The real power to control the revenue sports, and make enforceable rules, has been trending more and more toward the conferences. [/QUOTE]
