[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 553423, member: 2426"] Athletic programs spend money on recruiting kids who don't even end up at the school. People also complain that when an athlete transfers that the school has spent too much money on training the player to allow him to leave. However, what about kids that are cut from football programs? The athletic department has spend money on training, nutrition, and counseling for that player also. It is just another issue about which athletic programs complain when it possibly hurts their performance, but ignore it when it helps their performance. There are some other things that could be done to limit transfers. For instance, eliminate all recruiting for undergraduate transfers. Also eliminate admissions exceptions for undergraduate transfers. If a kid wants to transfer, only allow them to talk to the athletic department after they are legitimately accepted to the school. That would help to ensure that the student-athletes are actually acting responsibly academically. The NCAA could also have very strict penalties for coaches who do recruit undergraduates from other schools, such as forcing them to sit out for a year without receiving payment from the school. Get college athletics back to being about students competing. [/QUOTE]
