[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 415913, member: 2426"] The ideas that I posted are intended to prevent the schools from recruiting. Such as not allowing any intervention by the athletic department in the transfer application. If the student-athlete can actually be admitted as a transfer student based on his academic record, why should the NCAA intervene? My ideas are not well thought out and conclusive, but the general idea is that the NCAA should put limits on the member schools, their athletic programs, and their athletic personnel. The rules now are wacky. In the Big12 a walk-on player who transfers to another school has to sit out a year even if he is still a walk-on at the second school. For the NCAA, if the walk-on was a recruited player, he will have to sit out for a year even if he is still a walk-on at the second school. Some of the arguments are that the player received "free" school and room and board. The walk-ons received non of that. They paid their way. If they walk on at the second school, the athletic department probably had nothing to do with getting them admitted to the second school. That means they are keeping up with their school work. The NCAA is supposed to be about [B]students[/B] competing. Why are the rules set up to punish actual students who are trying to play sports? The rules instead should be set up to punish teams who recruit players from other schools, and schools who bypass their transfer admissions processes for athletic reasons. That would be more in line with what the NCAA says they stand for. [/QUOTE]
