Had a long discussion last night with some folks, former coaches....about the current transfer rules and noticed that there is an NCAA board meeting April 24th. Probably nothing happens at that meeting......but how long do you forsee this garage sale type recruiting to exist with the way the NCAA is?
On one hand (and homerism) i think the student athlete has earned the right by graduating to use his 5th year and freely transfer wherever he wants to play wherever he wants. Hes earned that thru his education and work on the court/field.
The other hand or arguement is from an NCAA persepctive....is that REALLY in tune with NCAA values as the 5th year transfer has zero to do with education of the player.
And does the growing importance of these transfers start altering the way coaches "deal" with players...for instance.....do coaches monitor closer who they redshirt, because if the kid graduates, he could leave. Can it create a situation where coaches slow acadamic progress.
I think we are going to see some sort of reform....its just what will it be and when.
