It will frick over the midmajors big time

They will develop kids, and p5 coaches will be recruiting them to leave.



There are several reasons to allow freebie transfers, but opening them all up, is not a good move.

I agree with this if their position coach, coordinator, or head coach leaves.


frick no. They sign scholarships with schools, not coaches. If they can't look around and figure out that college coaches sometimes get fired or leave for other jobs, perhaps college is not the place for them to begin with.

It would certainly create some interesting scholarship choices.

I'm curious what rules will be included regarding "tampering." I could see a coach trying to get transfers from other schools to push them over the top and sacrifice a recruiting year of scholarships to do it.
Meh. Just don't allow the to go over, no exceptions. Coaches will then just not offer as many scholarships to save room for a potential transfer.

Great players at smaller schools that were under recruited in HS will transfer out to big programs.

This is a disaster if it happens.

So you make the playoffs, but have been weak at safety all year. Can you go grab the all American safety from another school?

I assume this is supposed to apply only if the athlete's current school releases him?

Because it would be utter chaos if it was just a general transfer rule.

If a player is dismissed from a program, if another team wants to sign him he should be able to sign with them with no penalty.

I just don't see this as a good idea in general. We're going to see freshmen transfer before they play a single game because they're not as high in the depth chart as they want to be.

I'll do you one better. A student can transfer schools whenever they want, if these players are really "student-athletes" why shouldn't they be allowed to transfer at will?

They can. They can transfer and start classes right away, no different than a regular student.

Like Blake Barnett transferring after 3 games last year and being granted eligibility at ASU this year.

Look at the NFL draft first 3 rounds and look at all the small programs littered in there.

Those players would all be poached by big programs with promises of titles and higher draft exposure.

People complain about there only being 15 or 16 schools capable of competing for the NC, but this would halve that number. It would be the 50s and 60s all over again.
LSU would be one (hopefully)

I remember hearing about a game long time ago about like before 1915 or something,that my grandpa told me about whrre Arkansas was playing instate school ouchita Baptist that is now a d2 school. Arkansas had a really good qb and at halftime the president or somebody and hc of obu had a meetimg a md gave him a really good "scholarship" to play with obu and in the 2nd half he played for the opposite team.

coaches have to pay penalties for doing this.

Should athletes pay back their scholly value?

This rule is only good for those who want to watch NCAA football blow away.

The same people are fans of the O'Bannon's killing NCAA video games

"Claimed" is an important word there, although the 50s had more variety than I thought.

60s and 70s is more like it - from 1961-1979, the same six schools traded the AP title to each other, with only two other colleges winning one.

You do realize that most prospects commit to universities because of the coaches (specifically position coaches). Very rarely do you come across prospects who legit "love" whatever university they are committing to. So the fact that coaches are able to jump ship freely. But prospects can't. Is rarely fricked up.

Perfect ex: is Ed Oliver at UH.

I surely hope he didn't think Tom Herman was going to stay at UH his entire time at the university. He was one of the hottest coaches on the market.
