Bowlsby: "Cheating pays presently"

Just added this quote to the story.
"If we can't come to resolution that is satisfactory on enforcement and on transfers, then those become autonomous items about which the five high‑visibility conferences can go our own way and devise our own system."

I assume he's talking about closing off the 5th year loophole when he's talking about transfers?
This thread is a great place to bring this article back.

CW reports way better than anything they have at the DMN, but here are some supplemental quotes.

Yea, but it's also the most blatantly exploited rule with regards to transfers. If any sort of paying players scheme comes to pass in the Big 5 conferences, it's going to go hand-in-hand with some rules reform as well, at least imo. Immediate eligibility for graduated transfers is going to be one of the 1st rules to go bye-bye.
This may very well happen because the haves don't like the fact that the have nots can make themselves contenders very quickly by bringing in a 5th year transfer. I disagree with this sentiment. A student-athlete who has earned their bachelor's degree with eligibility remaining should have the right to finish their career at another school with immediate eligibility. The whole point of NCAA rules is to promote graduation.

I suppose that makes some sense, but then they need to do away with this bogus notion of going for an unavailable graduate program.
You read articles like that and it seems like it would be pretty much impossible to stop. I'd be really curious to hear what types of changes Bowlsby thinks could be done that would have any effect.
Can we just get rid of handlers all together? Or better yet, can someone explain the difference between a handler (allowed) and an agent (not allowed)?
