Then why not restrict DePaul and Notre Dame, which are probably as close or closer to Madison as Ames is, or dozens of other BCS level schools? I think you are giving Bo too much of the benefit of the doubt. I think that Bo is trying to punish Uthoff for transferring because that is not in his plans (or trying to talk him out of transferring all together), so he tries to block the BCS school in his home state with two scholarships open and a history of accepting transfers as a potential (and likely) landing spot.
Uthoff available?

I'd assume the Coach is afforded a ton of power in a NLI. Just my guess, they voluntarily sign the thing.
Probably a matter of contractual law. I believe a NLI is more or less a contract to play for the school in exchange for free school. I don't think there is anything saying he cant go to Iowa State, he just cant compete in basketball there.
Maybe, but when scholarships are only for a year, after that year is up, what power does the NLI have?
No no...i agree. Its like signing a contract...but jeez....like some snake lawyer cant dance around some of these things.
What then prevents a coach from saying....."Ill only let you go to IUPUI...and thats it". If they can tell you where you cant go.....what prevents them from saying where you can go?
Phil Martelli wouldnt let that kid play all year bc he wanted to transfer.
Don’t know if JU has the size and skill to be an effective Big 12 player. He is undersized at the four and doesn’t have the athletic ability of a three. I could be wrong, but I think the Missouri Valley would do him good.
Hey, watch what you say about "snake lawers." I resemble that remark.
Here's a link to NLI info:

Not having read any NLI agreements, I can only assume that they contain provisions allowing the limitations re: to which schools you can transfer.

But its the player that is breaking the contract, not the school. The school is under no obligation to let him out at all.
Ha no personal offense intended you ambulance chasing weasel
Yeah im sure they do....guess im just surprised that hasnt been challenged.
LOI scholarships are only good for one year, if the school decides so. Is a contract even being broken?
MWitt is right. There's a difference between the inference that Bo Ryan must suspect it, and the inference that it's true. There's some possibility that Bo suspects it. I don't think anyone believes that it could be true.
I believe it could be true. And I don't feel bad about it. It happens, and I'm pretty sure it's happened to us.
