re: The one-time transfer rule for athletes in all sports has been approved by the NCAA

At the end of the day, I'm for it. If coaches can just pack up and leave for a multimillion deal at another school, then why should the player be almost bound to his original school if he doesn't believe he's been given a fair shot, or they recruited someone who is a superstar at his position, but he could otherwise be a star on another team.

However, this will clearly put these primadonnas fully in charge of college athletics. Coaches will find themselves recruiting the same players for four years and having to cater to their every whim and tantrum. Discipline will almost become a thing of the past because coaches (and colleges as a whole) will fear losing several players if they dare to raise their voices.

ETA: Having said all of that, in this new rule there should be another rule that says coaches (even assistant coaches) that leave for another school are prevented from taking a transfer from the school they left. A coach shouldn't be able to possibly decimate his previous school by taking all the best players from that school.
