Whether it is the start of free agency in college sports or simply the fair thing to finally do for the athletes, the NCAA is about to make a monumental change to its transfer rules.

Yo it's about to get good. U can collect your bama bag and come back home lol amazing

 

[Cane44]

that would be an epic change of "tides" over the next 10years.... Miami goes in heavy on 1st year transfers from the SEC after they secure the bag!!!

I always wondered
are bags usually like a signing bonus or do you need to be vested before you get it and are they recurring payments?
bc when i watched the 30 for 30 on smu it seemed like it was monthly payment thing

Somebody break this down and tell us what it really means

Saban's evil powers must be fading...no way he lets this happen if he is at full evil strength.

They've figured out how to make even more $$$ off these kids. How IDK, but controlling organizations don't just give up control of human resources and the money without a plan to make even more money. Someone here smarter than me I'm sure has an idea what the ncaa is really doing.

 

[MainLineCane]

It's about time.

Now they can change schools just like any other normal college student.

Uh...no.

Until the IC rules are changed, we are just going to have thousands of kids in the Portal yanking on their limp d!cks.

It doesn't mean anything yet.

You CAN transfer and get immediate eligibility...assuming anyone has an IC to offer you.

Otherwise, you can just do be a glorified walk-on.

Yup, ain't nobody going anywhere until they got a place to go.

Now if colleges make space for these transfers, think of how that screws over the high school players looking for a scholarship.

For now. Imo this could lead to teams de-emphasizing high school kids even more.

Were already allocating 20-25% of our scholarships to portal guys.

You know what to say!!!

He really only wants one player and he’s going to get him.

 

[Cold-hearted Cane]

In other words Henry To'oto'o won't have to sit out when he transfers to Bama lol.

Posted at the same time! Lol

 

[Gables Canes]

Is it sad that I'm so scarred I saw the thread title and expected to read about a wave of suspensions and/or an NCAA investigation?

 

[Hoyacane1620]

He’ll get him if the SEC falls in line and allows inter conference transfers. Right now they are resisting. Big 12 too. I suspect they will have to let that go if all other conferences do.

No...no we're not (as a voluntary choice). Not on an ongoing and permanent basis.

There is only one way for this long national nightmare to end. Schools have to get as many ICs for Transfers IN as they lose for Transfers OUT.

Any other temporary solution will do significant damage to competitive balance.
