[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 545961, member: 2175"] Why should an 18-year old give up a year of eligibility because a) he made a mistake at 18; b) the coach who recruited him promising love everlasting now is a continent away seducing another 18-year-old (at no penalty to his ownself by the way) and c) a dozen other entirely defensible reasons. That loss of eligibility rule has one purpose and one only: to lock a kid into place. I'll buy taking a year away to prevent poaching by coaches wanting to take talent with them to play now, but not a rule intended to show some little twit who's boss. But if you'll apply the same rule to your next job change, then I'll buy your rationale. (Yeah, yeah, I know. Free market and all that. Except we stop the free market at the players' door.) As for graduate transfers, the player has his degree and only the arrogant NCAA would profess authority over him or her in any fashion. It is a bizarre interpretation to assume otherwise. (I know more than one person who went to more than one college, me included. What is my punishment?)) [/QUOTE]
