Or they better hire a team of lawyers because every kid will have a reason to transfer and take it to court. NCAA will spend all it's time/money in court. Lawyers will take every case for free, hoping to win and get paid also. They will stay on board until they start losing cases and be gone. Only way I see to stop it is let every transfer play immediately. What do you guys think?


Martell already all lawyered up per 247.
Hope he wins...:11263272045-489f4f7972-o::sjfd4ytbgaemgtvaw2.jpg:

These aren’t insider trading investigations, doesn’t really take an army of lawyers to determine whether a coach recklessly burned a player’s redshirt.
 
Let them transfer and play asap. If a kid does not want to be at your school, why do the teams want him? No harm no foul, things just didn't work out.

I love the portal and am fine with kids getting a clean, efficient way to transfer. But if you let every guy go without sitting a year it would create total chaos.

Coaches would have to re-recruit players every season in addition to getting new guys in.

Imo they should expand transfers for high school kids who's coach leaves before they even start their first season and maybe players who have already burned their redshirts.

Coaches can drop scholarships any year, but the kids can't transfer without penalty. I'd love to sit on that jury trial.

Just spit balling here.

What if scholarships were “yearly” instead of 4 years. When the student first signs, they have a choice of signing for 4 years or 1. If they sign for 4, they abide by the normal transfer rules if they choose to leave (sit out a year). If they choose to sign for 1, they are free to sign with another school after that but the school also has the choice to not renew.

Athlete has options so they choose the risk and the school is protected if the student chooses to sign for only a year.

Any intelligent kid would sign for 4 and guarantee that education but could create a middle ground.

Aren't the scholarships year to year now? I thought they had to be renewed every June or July🤷‍♂️

Correct. I remember it was a big deal a few years ago when you signed with USC it was a full 4 year scholarship.

Each year the scholarship of the player needs to be renewed by the HC.

Yeah we might lose a few guys here and there. But I think like big market teams in pros (LA, Boston, Ny, etc ) we would often be in the conversation and linked to transfers. Always an intriguing option to consider and think about. I see lots of top 3s and visits and interest like hurts. Even though he didnt come, its a numbers game.

Edit: we should probably stop or else ncaa will shut the portal down tomorrow.

I think it should only be allowed if the kid red-shirted or played less than the a certain number of games. If not you'll have coaches recruiting kids off other teams once they see they're good. It would definitely decimate the smaller schools.

What are they going to do with it? Give it to the players? They will spend it on lawyers because they can and because it protects their position of power.

So the answer to your question is "yes". To the NCAA, that is an absolute yes.
 
OP:

I was going to post this very thing today. While they wont want to, they will have to( meaning the NCAA). More and more kids will challenge this absurd transfer rule and eventually a Federal Judge( or 4) will find the prohibition arbitrary and capricious, leading to its abolition.

The NCAA would be smart to institute some reasonable guideline( like not being to transfer once the season begins thru end of entire CFB season) rather than to let the lawyers( of which I am one) tear down all of their walls.

Great post......Would be very similar to MLB in where small market teams just become feeder teams for the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers of the world. GT has a 3* RB that turned out to have a stud FR or SOPH year.....UGA's is currently a little weak at that position going into next year.

Will become a management/operational nightmare for schools. Don't know how you plan a roster when you have 85 one year contracts in essence.
Maybe that is the way it has to go.

I think the rule should be anyone who wants to transfer to Miami is immediately eligible. Anyone who wants to transfer elsewhere has to sit out a year. Those that choose to transfer to an SEC must sit out 2 years. If it’s to Baga, you ship them to North Korea.

This would not only be fair and equitable but also moral. Therefore no exceptions or hardships. Simple, uncertainty resolved.

Yeah, I can't imagine a world where a few select teams dominated college football every year....

For every small market star who transfers to a bigger school, there will also be 4 and 5 star kids unhappy with playing time and transferring out downstream.

I also have little sympathy for coaches trying to manage a roster when those same coaches won't hesitate to abandon said roster for another gig.

I don't know if there's a solution that will appease everyone, maybe the plan others suggested of having both 1 year and 4 year scholarships will work and a better equilibrium will be established, but the initial counter issue would need adjusting, among other logistics.

That is something that has been well documented tho and the kid was actually kicked out of UGA so he’ll win that easily. That’s different than just saying oh this one dude called me something with no proof to support it

Wouldn’t the kid being immediately dismissed work against Fields? I mean his argument is really going to be that he doesn’t feel safe there becauce one drink honky called him a bad word and was dismissed as a result? Meanwhile, he continued to play out the rest of the season and his sister remains on a softball scholarship there? If the NCAA really lets that pass, the floodgates should open. I know the NCAA is comprised of a bunch of corrupt morons, but they can’t be that naive to think that’s “the reason” Fields is leaving UGA.
