NCAA wins court battle requiring student athletes to sit out a year before transfer.

7th Circuit Sides With NCAA, Finds Year-In-Residence Rule Presumptively Procompetitive
Here is the 7th Circuit's ruling in case anyone wants to dive deeper.
This is a huge blow against any incentive to change the rule in favor of athlete's unrestricted transfers.

Amateurism is not dead, at least according to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. On June 25, the court appellate court confirmed a lower court's dismissal of a case that challenges the "year-in-residence" rule, which requires transfering Division I student-athletes to wait a full academic year before performing at their new school. The justification was based on the athletes' supposed amateur status and the procompetitive nature of the rule.

The year-in-residence regulation is easily characterized as an eligibility rule, per the Seventh Circuit, and thus was found to be entitled to a procompetitive presumption.

Love it. I hope everyone has to wait a year. Screw the pansies who can't start.

It’s ridiculous the court ruled this. Scholarships are 1 year contracts. The coaches are allowed to treat them as such, but the players are held to a higher standard

To be fair, true free agency was never considered....only exceptions to the rule IE how some are already in place for graduate transfers, etc

Fine line between that and open free agency in CFB though. The one year sit out rule needs to be tinkered with but It is probably required.

I am one that is against paying players but if you want to argue amateurism then giving players the same year to year options as the school only makes sense

My whole deal on this is that coaches should be held to the same, really higher standards, than these kids are. They can peace out whenever they want to wherever they want with no repercussions while students have to sit our, jump through hoops, just to play again.

This is a far better argument than people who say the coaches can leave but the students can't. The coaches are professionals.
That being said, I think the ruling is dumb for the reason you stated.

There should be some sort of appeal process that distinguished whether a transfer is for familial or playing time reasons vs a guy going to LSU after a breakout season at ULL or Nicholls.

Agreed. I would like to see them still have to sit out a year but not lose a year of eligibility. Just my opinion.

There should be a rule added that you can never leave a school for another school that a former coach of yours is now coaching at. Can't follow.

I'm sort of against having them sit out a year. Don't see the need to penalize adults for doing what they feel is in their best interest.
If that's how they want it to be then coaches should definitely be held to a similar standard. If they resign from a job then they must sit out a year before taking another head coaching job. Getting fired or leaving at end of contract doesn't count obviously.

Currently a student athlete is penalized a year after leaving at the end of his contract

I agree if a player is cut the school should not be able to use the scholarship that year

I assume y'all are smart enough to know that the athlete always loses when they contest NCAA regulations in federal court, with the exception of some federal district courts in California. The majority of the federal courts bend over backwards and apply abstract concepts to sustain the mirage that is amateurism, they did this 30 years ago, they'll do it today that's called consistency.
