it's clear people don't understand players don't have unlimited transfers.

Players won't be able to transfer each year and play right away. You can do it once. And no, not getting into grad transfer specifics etc.

They grant waivers all the time. Doesn't seem like it even matters.

I think one pattern that will emerge is that guys that break out as freshmen or were high recruits that chose a non-power school (not power 5, I mean like perennial top 15), will collect NIL money where they're at until after their sophomore year then jump for a better place to showcase for the NFL.

And if that doesn't pan out, they'll jump again as grad transfers.

The COVID year going away will slow some of this.

This will be the most transfers CFB has ever seen, but it won't be quite like this going forward. It will obviously remain much higher than it used to be, but with the portal being new plus NIL still being new, this will be an all-timer sort of transfer year.

Especially when you combine this with the effects of COVID on scouting the guys that are sophomores right now. A lot of missed evals (in both directions) from the lack of being able to see guys play haven't resolved themselves yet.

Right. Undergrads get one. But can't Grad transfers with 2 years left just move each year with immediate eligibility?

Spencer Rattler may be transferring to Nebraska. This would be his 2nd transfer to his 3rd school.

They can transfer with waivers, and the waivers are given out like Halloween candy.

This is the kind of transfer that should be denied.

ETA: Unless he's graduated. At that point he's fulfilled his obligation to South Carolina.

I mean, transferring twice in 4 years is probably enough for most players. But just wait until it’s no longer enough. The waivers will be flowing again.

I think the Degree Progress rule is going to bone some of these transfers.

We saw it affect one of the Arkansas DBs coming in to LSU. Guys that try to move multiple times are going to have a hard time with credits transferring, providing they're getting enough of them in the first place.

I think that's where the safeguards may start to come in. It may also create some perverse incentives on the side of programs to keep guys barely on track knowing that if they transfer they'll have to miss games.

They don’t give out a ton of waivers. But until guys with Covid eligibility clear off the books, grad transfers are going to be pretty plentiful on top of the 1 free transfer

at the end of the day the bad teams will get worse and the best teams will become even better
it's a terrible way for college athletics to operate

The whole point of the one-time waiver from the NCAA’s perspective was to get rid of the glut of transfer waiver applications. You get the one time as an undergrad and then you are free to do what you want as a grad transfer.

The NCAA discussed completely opening up transfers in the off-season, but they didn’t move forward with it yet.

So effectively the teams with the largest NIL funds/resources could assemble a complete all American team year after year? Granted they’d still have scholarship limitations but I’m sure it could be played with. That’ll be the antithesis to any goal of parity.

Yeah, the NCAA is not sticking to that. There are many players that have transferred more than once.
