WFU Hoops: '23-'24 Roster Construction Thread: +Miller, Sallis, Reid, & Canka

people used to think paying players was over the line, transfer rules will just be the next domino to fall otherwise I think talent will continue to look at alternatives to college bball

Whole god damn teams can transfer without ncaa penalty why not student athletes. I highly down a wr leaving Kent state has a bigger impact than the whole god damn PAC10 leaving existence.

You underestimate the hardship of a rapidly increasing athletics budget projected to be less than other projected budgets in 5-10 years.
 
I want to laugh at unc losing a potential star, but I can’t. Because I know what it means for Reid. It’s beyond time for the ncaa to go fuck themselves off a cliff
 
The only thing that I keep coming back to with Reid is that the NCAA directly sanctioned his coach, which led to his firing. I’m sure Reid was APPALLED to find out that Wade had been breaking the rules, and he was so disappointed that LSU would be involved in such a racket that he just had to transfer. Thus that should be a free transfer, and now he has used his optional one.

Either the rule is one free transfer before graduating or there is just college unlimited free agency after each sports season. As a WF fan, want Reid to play, but the transfer-transfer-transfer over a student-athlete's first 3 years in colllege is a joke. JT Daniels is the starting QB at Rice this year. His fourth school in four years. Think that its reasonable to allow any student-athlete one free transfer before he graduates. After that, everyone sits for a year if he/she wants to transfer before graduating. People thought that the one free transfer rule was crazy, and it is; now, there is complaining that a student-athlete can't transfer every year?

Is there a rule that coaches can’t change jobs every year?

And BTW, is that kids scholarship guaranteed for four years?

GTFOH with not letting kids transfer whenever the hell they want as many times as they want.

That is fine, and if the schools that make up the NCAA want there to be unrestricted transfers every year or even every semester, make that the rule, but its not the rule now. It was the BS application of the rule that sucked and was unfair. It was randomly and inconsistently applied so that some/most players got to transfer again and again while others did not.

1000x this. There's not even an NCAA rule preventing teams from transferring conferences every year.

Saw a tweet from like a UCLA volleyball who said something like, "I wanted to stay on the West Coast so it was easy for my family to see me play. Now I'm a senior and I have to fly to New Jersey."

For all the talk about cross country trips, it's going to really suck for West Coast fans stuck with games at Maryland at 4:00 on a random Wednesday afternoon.

I wonder how much conference realignment will impact next year's transfer market.
 
I don't understand how people can be disgusted about the ACC breaking up because it's "all bout the money" and also think a kid should be limited to transferring only once.

Because they're also disgusted that transfers are "all about the money."

While I disagree with only allowing 1 transfer given the state of everything else in college sports, that position is actually more consistent with a worldview that prefers things going back to the way they used to be.

Have traditional rivalries you play every year. Have consistent rosters so the rivals get to know opposing players. And even more importantly, a focus on the student athlete piece. A student gets consistency in the classroom, makes progress towards a degree in a major of their choosing at a college of their choosing, rather than some hybrid degree obtained by cobbling together credits from 3-4 different schools of varying quality. That’s the argument for limiting it.

But that only works in an idealized world that’s not the world we are living in. So let them transfer as much as they want.

i agree with you. People use "the money", rather than saying "it's about me and I liked it better the old way".

If the ACC got a MASSIVE pay day to got back to the old ACC structure. People wouldn't care about it being "About the money". It's fan narcissism.
