Northern IllinoisOff topic here, but where did the West twins end up?
I'm betting they will go to UNI

I agree with Land Grant. It should be based on the amount of scholarship dollars a kid is receiving. Someone getting books or walking on should not be penalized. What the amount is, I am not sure.
Can’t have a kid getting 50% plus instantly walk on a school with no penalty.
I see where you're coming from, but coaches can do it to their athletes too. The guy we went out and got is one that did it. If a coach can up and leave "transfer", then their athletes should be able to do the same IMO.
I can see maybe not being able to wrestle 2nd semester if they transfer the 1st semester. The bad part is that this is happening right after signing day.
Could be two sides to a story..who's not to say that Bono and Co. are lowering these boys' schollys going forward because they had to raise the amount they were giving to the incoming class they just signed?
Sure. I know nothing of the specifics in this instance. Just saying that, in some circumstances, there are legitimate arguments for limiting releases.
And if we're imagining scenarios: in a world without transfer penalties, what's to keep a big dog programs from poaching small school stars via full ride offers once those wrestlers have "proven up."

OH! So you mean like coaches then.......
I hope you see the hypocrisy here.
Can coaches leave for another job at any time, in any scenario, without penalty or limitation? They do all the time. And it doesn't matter if Bono is leaving right now. He is restricting a kid that isn't even getting probably 1/4 of his school paid for..if he wants to transfer to a big12 school he has to sit out a year..BUT at the same time, Bono could take a new job within the big12 and coach immediately if that school wanted him to.Again, sure. But not all such scenarios involve coaching changes. Is Bono leaving, for example?
Is your position that any athlete should be able to transfer at any time, in any scenario, without penalty or limitation?
