Kirby Jackson Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 This feels like a give that the NCAA has to make with all of the coaches changing. Jimbo Fisher signed a $75M deal yet the guys that he recruited to FSU have to sit out if they leave. This feels like a bit of a give in favor of common sense (which usually the NCAA doesn’t consider). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 If a coach leaves or is fired players should be eligible for immediate transfer imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo716 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 This is a slippery slope. Sure there are some legit tranfer reasons where a kid shouldn't have to sit... but this is the next step for Big time programs to scoop up the best players from mid major programs a kid at UB tears it up as a freshmen and sophomore, is on his way to becoming a 1st round pick... them Duke or Kansas or Kentucky offers him a scholarship and he transfers without having to sit this will happen to Mid majors like Bonnie's or UB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you don't make a commitment to a coach. You make it to the school. Sure, a coach SHOULD be a HUGE deciding factor ... But the coach isn't giving him a free education... the university is when you sign that LOI you are making a commitment to the school. That includes learning, growing, and overcoming adversity, which includes coaching changes. Its a right for a player to transfer but it shouldn't be glorified. The year wait makes it a serious transaction for a team. Life isn't fair so neither is NCAA regulations. Coaches have advantages over student athletes as far as leaving but college basketball and football will get really hairy fast if you can start poaching other players without a transfer window just sounds like easy pickings for the top dogs I am 100% for a player choosing to transfer. I did. I also had to redshirt and wait a year i really hope I'm not sounding too harsh, I just think honoring commitments is huge in life and student athletes have a huge commitment when they go to a school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys in too many cases are kept eligible in sham majors to keep them on the field/court. The reality is that they are really unpaid employees despite the "student-athlete" moniker.

That's normal, D1 football is very tough and painful. Commitment to the weight room is key to get stronger and stronger not lying, I was in pain every time I got hit.

One was a 0* recruit and the other a 2*. they both developed insanely well , got bigger, stronger, faster. they were dominating by their senior seasons and both got NFL tryouts.
