I don't get the whole "players should stay committed to their school" argument. When a high school kid signs a letter of intent, he's not signing a four year contract with a university. Scholarships are renewed annually, meaning your free ride is only guaranteed until the end of this school year. Why should you be forced to stick it out when the university isn't forced to keep you on scholarship?
That’s what I don’t understand.After the first year or second or whatever when that one year term is up the player is no longer under contract so why is he not allowed to go and do as he pleases?
There has to be some kind of law forbidding this type of Thing and maybe now the NCAA is figuring out kids are growing sets now to fight it.
I know they are trying to stop out and out free transfers because that would be nothing but chaos but if they don’t want that they should have guaranteed 4-5 year scholarships.If they want to have say so over any player then that particular player ought to have the peace of mind to know that even if he sucks or gets hurt that scholarship is going to be there for him and if the school wants it back then they have to buy it back just like buying out a contract.
