Personally, I think this would be absolutely horrible for football and make "free agency" impossible to deal with.
Mel Tucker was the last straw. You can't have coaches that can leave at the drop of a hat and have kids stranded like that. Players do come to programs for coaches a lot of the time.
I think it's good. It had to change so no need to fight it anymore, and now coaches that lie to these kids face real consequences if they don't live up to their promises.

See that is where i believe you are wrong. The NCAA is either possibly allowing or is going to allow 1 no sit transfer. There should be ZERO restrictions on this. Although it is still going to be up to the conference, and the head coach where the athlete is allowed to go. Which I think is complete bullshite. The 1 no sit transfer should have absolutely zero restrictions. 1 time is all it is. If they do it again, they are going to have to sit, or wait until they are a grad transfer. By then, nobody in the P5 is going to touch them with a 10ft pole. You might have one bust through every now and again. But for the most part, a player who transfers more than once, is going to get the label, and nobody worth noting is going to want them.

While I agree with this, I really do, you can't just force someone to. Coaches certainly don't. The rest of the student body doesn't. Just the ones who make people money. And that is a perfect example of unfair. In my opinion.

That’s not what they are doing. They are looking for playing time in a fricking sports game.
Think of it this way. Would you fish in a lake you knew for 100% certain it had no fish for you to catch just because it was the first lake you ever fished or would you “transfer” to the new lake just built that’s full of fish you are guaranteed to catch some?

As a college educator of 35 years... there needs to be a balance between fairness and "learning to deal w life's issues". Frankly, "just because I do not get my way" should not be a valid reason for a no-sit out" transfer. Coach gets fired, things outside the kid's control, or OBVIOUS reasons perhaps, but they need to learn to deal w adversity.
Except college football isn’t “life” in any way. It’s a game. It is irrelevant to the function of the species.

Guys like Justin Fields get free passes to transfer because of whatever he made up but the kid with a dying mom gets rejected. shite happens and sometime you need to change.
Hey man, white kids in Georgia are racist.
And that kid should have transferred to a school that wasn't 5 miles outside the approval range. Plus, his mom wasn't dying anymore, she was getting better.

Yes - "false promises" - how about the fact that most coaches outright lie and have for years upon years.

Not a huge fan of an automatic transfer rule... but...
1) The current waiver system is an absolute, stupid, insane joke.
2) Why should players be held to standards that a coach isn't held to?
3) Why should a softball player get immediate eligibility, but not a baseball player?
I'm really curious to see how this impacts the Group of Five schools.
This is really going to turn the Group of Five into a minor league.
Their best players will get "called up" to a Power 5 school, while the Power 5 guys who can't find the field will take a voluntary "send down" to Group of 5 to be able to play... and it's not as big of a jump as going to FCS.

The athletes will love it, but this opens the door for yet more cheating. Would help if it was restricted to upper classmen, JR or SR. I can see a 18 Frosh not getting playing time or have beef with a coach & moving on. At least it is restricted to one transfer. NCAA will need to increase there investigative staff. :-)

With this kind of shite going on I think head coaches absolutely earn their big paychecks. Imagine trying to manage recruiting, transfers, keeping 80+ divas happy so they don’t transfer. What a nightmare

Another terrible rule. Schollies should be year to year based on performance.
