[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 553153, member: 959"] I understand the proposal but I am talking about the effects of the policy. My point is that it is difficult to equitably establish a method to determine why kids are transferring in your outlined scenario. Sure one could intuit most of the cases out, but the NCAA has shown itself to be unwilling or incapable of even holding the schools accountable for making kids go to real classes. My point is that this is a more nuanced question than a lot of people give it credit for (not suggesting you’re glossing over the details). Questions of paying the players and enforcing academic integrity into the equation all complicate it further. I do agree that the NCAA has allowed schools to essentially become minor league teams and forgo any responsibility to develop the student athletes who are under their charge. It’s a shame that the questions of professionalism have corrupted the college game in ways that organize the schools into almost unbroken order. It’s a money driven sport for the top programs and kids get chewed up in the process. Take Zion Williamson for a recent example. He is opting out of playing after his shoe situation. Who knows if he is going to class. Though if he elected to go the NBA then are you saying Duke should be forced to hold a scholarship out to account for him through the standard four year matriculation as well? It’s a really interesting set of problems, I’m enjoying the conversation. EDIT: I am not saying anyone in this thread is oversimplifying the issues under discussion. I realized I pointed out in my response to [USER=2426]@RonJohn[/USER] that I said I think a lot of people gloss over the details but am talking about the talking heads on espn, not the people in this thread. This is a great civil discussion and I’m glad to be a part of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
