[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 416426, member: 2426"] Grad school can pay dividends. Telling someone they must attend grad school(even if tuition and books are paid for) isn't the place of the NCAA or fans. The NCAA rules require you to make at least 20% progress towards your degree, at least last time I looked at them. If someone transfers more than one or two times, he would not be eligible anyway because of existing NCAA academic rules. To the last paragraph, taking away a year of eligibility from an honest to goodness student-athlete who decided they wanted to study computer science instead of agriculture does not make sense. The regulations on the student-athlete treat all transfers as equal. What are the goals of the transfer rules? Are they to tie the student-athlete to the school that he chose while in high school? If so as I said those rules are more strict than employment laws. Employees can sue companies if they collude to prevent poaching. The current NCAA rules are set up more like highly restrictive and probably illegal employment regulations than regulations to promote academics and sports competition. They are acting exactly like the players who want to sue them portray them. The NCAA can definitely have rules for the schools and teams to accomplish those goals. They could make harsh penalties for violating those rules.(Modify transfer requirements for a player transfer and: lose 10% of scholarships for 5 years, vacate every win in which that player was at the school whether he played or not, 5 year show cause for the athletic department personnel who worked to get the transfer approved.) Would the NCAA enforce the rules effectively? They don't now. That is still no reason to penalize an actual [I]student[/I]-athlete who makes a valid transfer for a valid reason. [/QUOTE]
