[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 545915, member: 282"] There are a lot of ways to see transfers as a way to make the rich richer. If you're going to apply for a waiver, Auburn is going to have a lot more help to offer there than Western Kentucky. From that vantage, the mandatory one year waiting time is to the advantage of the schools who know how to influence the NCAA. If everyone has to sit a year, the teams that have so much talent that they can wait a year have the advantage. The way I figure it, the teams with the war chest are going to be at an advantage no matter what the rules are. For the students, if I transfer schools, I can get an on campus or off campus job immediately. The eligibility rule isn't as much about leveling the playing field between schools as it is about giving the athletic departments leverage over the student athlete. While as a fan I'd like any and all athletes to be committed to GT come what may, I think the eligibility rule isn't fair to the athletes, and enforcing it is more likely to have legal issues for the schools than not having a waiting period at all.
