I don't think leaving college altogether (going to nba) is the same thing as transferring to another college. You are leaving college. Thus leaving the NCAA's jurisdiction. Im still in favor of letting grads be instantly eligible though.
MONDAY MUSINGS: Transfer rules, hoops schedule notes
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
1 actually finishes his degree, the other has no intention of ever getting his degree, which one better represents what college is all about.
And I know you are cool with the instant eligibility. It more about how that NCAA VP is trying to spin things
True. But the only reason that most of the one and done guys are there is because they have to be. Which is an entirely diff convo.
No ****s are given about SOS or RPI when it comes to UAB. Only pain and suffering. And death.
It's all about the student athlete. Is it not?
Seriously though, if they are so worried about academics, maybe all of those 5 star freshman that go to KU, UK and Duke need to sit out a year as well. You know, to get them acquainted with their studies. Right?
Still yet to see anyone explain why the current grad transfer rules are bad.
Seems like the worst case scenario right now is a guy who graduates and gets another year of education but doesn't finish his advanced degree.
Trying to figure out how this is bad for anyone? Other than the schools that have a monopoly on high school players of course.

They are both student athletes Chris. There's the similarity.
Why make a student sit in college for another year(deny their right to make money) when freshman don't have to redshirt?
Good thing Harvard didn't make Bill Gates redshirt before he decided to leave early to make money.
Oh, that's right. It's all about the student athletes. I forgot.
With the rule as it is at least these Sr transfers are participating in a Masters program, I am willing to bet the number of Sr transfers decreases thus meaning less are participating in a Masters program. The NCAA should be happy that these athletes are at least starting the Masters programs.
And regarding Chris's post that you can't compare BB and T&F transfers I disagree, if the NCAA tries to restrict it for one or two sports and not all I will guarantee there will be a lawsuit against the NCAA.

If that happened to be the pool of potential opponents, most mileage would probably come from:
Gonzaga
Wichita State
Cincinnati
Dayton
SMU
Rhode Island
San Diego State
Temple
VCU
George Washington
Tulsa
Davidson
That's as much guess as anything, but I'd be more intrigued to see those on the schedule compared to the rest.
It could make a difference if it's just a one-time at Hilton, or a home-and-home.
