Coaches are allowed to leave without penalty, players should be able to, as well. Add to that that coaches/schools can choose to not renew scholarships and this is a necessary step.

The second part (non-renewing) is so rare, you’ve got to search real hard to find cases of that happening.

Any student can transfer, when they figure out a school is not the best fit. why not athletes? The good thing about this is it takes out lawyers and exemptions, which have become so arbitrary they themselves have become a joke.

But there are far more athletes who will never play beyond college who will simply want to be somewhere that they feel happy, closer to home, appreciated, and able to play/contribute etc. It can be easy to forget that these young people are making decisions on where to spend 4-5 years and hopefully where to set the course for their lives based on a handful of campus visits, conversations over the phone/text, and other brief interactions.

And I'm all on board for it **IF** it also eliminates the grad transfer rule, and everyone has to have a sit out year for all transfers after the first one. The one case I see exceptions, and it should be standardized, is when a coaching staff leaves, players should be able to leave without the sit out year. But I've always thought this. Eliminate all the opportunities for appeals that don't involve injuries or special circumstances like family or illness. Bottom line, NCAA needs to set the rules, transparently, and stick to them across all member institutions.

Eliminate all the opportunities for appeals that don't involve injuries or special circumstances like family or illness. Bottom line, NCAA needs to set the rules, transparently, and stick to them across all member institutions. As I've posted previously,I transferred from O.U. for Academic reasons. But,since I was a D1 athlete (soccer),I still had to sit out one year. The NCAA wouldn't even consider an exemption. That would have left me with 1 year of eligibility for soccer. Fortunately,based on the timing of my transfer,I had 2 years of eligibility for wrestling. I agree with everything in your first paragraph including the Grad. Transfer rule and a 1 year sit out after your first transfer. I also agree with no sit out when a coaching staff leaves. I also believe that the NCAA needs to come up with uniform criteria for any appeal,especially medical red shirts. As a former wrestler,I follow NCAA wrestling,big time. Right now,there is a "sliding scale" for Medical Red Shirts",especially when granting a 6th year of eligibility. In fact,because of injury,one wrestler,could,with medical and Olympic red shirts come back for an 8th season. Olympic Red shirts are also something that wrestlers take advantage of.

It will result in unmitigated poaching of mid major players by high majors. It will truly be an outlaw situation. Even if "recruitimg" of mid major players isn't allowed, it will definitely be going on behind the scenes. This is another step toward ruining mid major basketball.

I think it would be a fantasy to think the Big Ten, or any other big conference for that matter, has the well-being of the student athlete in mind in wanting to see this change. As is always their driving force, this is about money and gaining the winning edge. Somewhere within the confines of the conference offices they have determined that getting those players, who develop late, or have been missed, to transfer, will enable their teams, especially those who are part of the last few teams selected for the tournament, to be a little better. Instead of maybe losing to the mid majors in the early rounds of the tournament the slight improvement will lead to more wins. Thus, go further in the tournament, get even more money for the conference teams. Something I don’t think the “money hounders” take into consideration though is that many fans (me included) of mid-majors and those who like it when underdogs advance will lose interest in the whole tournament. It will become boring to them. They will decide to do other things with their money and time, thus making the overall pie smaller. If they think everyone will just start supporting some other school I think they are greatly mistaken. Must they remain greedy and never be content with how good they have it now? By the way this would greatly impact G5 football too in my opinion.

Yep, this is almost certainly the case. I just can't realy reconcile putting the needs of mid-major basketball ahead of the rights of a student-athlete. I'm just not sure how it's possible to accomplish that, and so I think this imperfect solution's the best path.

You'll see Kentucky recruiting players from Ohio State and Duke and seeking immediately eligible transfers. In football, you'll see SEC pilfering the B1G with great success. The only schools that will do well here will be the ones at the very top of the heap in their respective sports, and ones who have coaches who develop strong bonds with their players and, therefore, there is a great deal of loyalty among the players. But, in general, it'll be a very destablizing rule, if adopted. I suspect it's not at all a "done deal" yet and will have major opposition within the NCAA fold.

Why is it that only the folks at the top will benefit? Won't the Ohio's of the world benefit, as well? Can't OU go "pilfer" a quarterback from James Madison or a Point Guard from the Patriot League? And more to the point: if a student athlete wants to attend a different school, what justification does one use to stop them? Competitive balance?

If a guy is Big 10 quality I'm happy to let him play in the Big 10. If we can't convince somebody to stay at OU on the merits of OU, but rather because we've devised a system that makes leaving too risky/complicated, that feels like a bad system to me.

Without that as a deterrent, will athletes change willy nilly? Yep, probably. Will that, in turn, impact the schools and their ability to compete? Yep, probably. So what is the solution? Do we stick with a solution that seeks to keep things in some order, or do we throw that away in pursuit of idealism, knowing that idealism may cause greater problems? If you agree there are no perfect solutions, than you must choose the solution that is the most tolerable. More and more I like the idea of club sports. No scholarships. No big money. No corruption. Just athletes who play for the love of the game.

The question is does the kid deserve to be penalized for changing his mind and pursuing another opportunity he deems to be a better fit? As we know it's been mentioned before by BTC and others that rarely is the athletic scholarship taken away as long at the student-athlete maintains their academics. I think if the players are going to be given more freedom to move from program to program going forward maybe it's only fair for the programs to start re-evaluating more critically whether or not they want to keep players who are not living up to what the expectations were when they signed. Or, even if they have, just replace them if someone better comes along. Wouldn't that be total freedom for all? And, this may be necessary for those programs decimated by transfers to remain competitive. Furthermore, If we choose to pursue "total freedom", why really stop at one transfer per student-athlete if it's really about them? Is that "fair"? For instance, a player could transfer to a more prominent program at the end of their freshman year. They could play the first semester of their sophomore year for the new program. If that didn't work out they could transfer back to their original program for the next semester if they would take them. I could be wrong but I don't think it is too much of a stretch to think these considerations, and others, could at some point become part of the conversation, and ultimately the results as the rules loosen up.
