[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 415667, member: 932"] IMO these arguments are silly. The NCAA doesn't restrict kids from transferring and they do not restrict the destination school from putting the kid on scholarship immediately. What they restrict is the kid from playing immediately. I think it's a very fair rule that actually forces the kids to weigh out what is important to them. If it's truly for academic purposes then I don't think they'd think twice about making the switch and losing the year...if it's purely for the athletic aspect then they weight out whether its worth it for them to sit out a year to play elsewhere. You can already go down a division and play immediately...doesn't happen as much in basketball, but we've seen it in football a few times over the last few years. I do think this is going to cause the factory schools to pull from the rest of D1. Under the radar players that turn out to be studs are going to switch to the bigger schools for the chance to win titles. If you don't have to sit out then why the hell not...it's going to look like the grad transfer stuff from the last several years. I wouldn't be opposed to making them sit out a year, but retain the year of eligibility...i.e. you sit out next year but then you can play an extra year at the end of your career...maybe as a one-time thing. Maybe that doesn't punish the kid, but still preserves the intent of the NCAA's current rule. [/QUOTE]
