Matt Schick ESPN - 95% certain” transfers will soon be allowed to play immediately

As long as coaches continue to have no ramifications for moving, it's hard to argue this.

However, I did like the graduate transfer rule as a reward for completing your degree.

If this goes through, this plus the potential new rule about being able to play 4 games and still redshirt is really going to change the game.

That would be entertaining. If a team has a hole on their roster they just go recruit a player off another team.

Long overdue....

If coaches can do it why not players.....

Strongly against. Will start a shitshow of back channeling between coaches and players of different teams.

This.

There would have to be stipulations though... Like the only way you can transfer and play right away is IF your HC that recruited you leaves....

Are you for or against this?

Absolutely for this.

It will probably cause some coaches to hate each other when coach a starts recruiting coach b players currently on roster. Recruiting will never stop and every program will have around 10 transfers every year. It will be crazy in college basketball and will create a bigger gap between the bigger and smaller schools. It is gonna be really hard for about 95 percent of mid majors to keep their players.

Why not make a rule meeting the old rule half way?

As in making a player sit out X number of games in the season if he is a non graduate transfer. Idk say 3-5 games.

For it, but there needs to be some definitive changes in rules to make it possible. You can't cap scholarships at only 25 a year when you could lose a ton of guys to transfers each year. The stipulation should be if the coach leaves, you can without penalty. Otherwise, it will be too much of a free for all imo. Especially with the new early signing period. Coaches tried to force kids into signing early. Tons of kids are now on the outside looking in as schools are full. That being said, now you have kids that have signed with schools and the coaches are no longer there. That's not right either.
