ACC backs one-time transfer across all sports.

There is going to be a shit load of nefarious assholes tampering with players and promising all matter of pie in the sky. Bound to happen.

This is incredibly naive. While the right thing to do, this is going to sting the smaller schools and less successful programs in favor of the alabamas, dukes, and UConn’s of the world ( football, mbb, wbb).

Maybe. It could also help them. How many 5* kids are riding the pine at the big schools waiting for their shot?

There already are.

But, you're right too, at least in the sense that this rule change will give the serpents an open opportunity that they haven't had in awhile.

I support this idea, but it's going to have to be carefully designed and implemented.
 
I assume there will be a conference exemption. In other words, you can transfer out to the SEC but not to another school in the ACC - without sitting out a year.

It is essentially going to benefit well round programs and hurt shitty ones. It benefits the player in cases of a team losing their coach or getting sanctions for something they weren't involved in, but hurts programs that have a good but not great coach/program.

I think this will unravel - good intentions with slippery results. That said, in hoops, teams like VTech, Clemson and State could really benefit by picking up experienced juniors from mid tier conference schools looking for a year or two playing in the limelight that is the ACC.

In football, Tennessee, Missouri, etc. are going to benefit picking up the same type of kids.
 
Watch what happens the first time Alabama or Clemson or Ohio St. loses their QB to an ACL tear in spring practice. It will be a fucking circus and every other team in the country with a good QB is going to be paranoid as hell that Nick Saban just sent their guy a text or was spotted at the local watering hole. Take Jamie Newman going to Georgia and turn up the amp to 11.
 
It becomes important to create a culture where players want to stay at your school. Coaches that are disliked, say Petrino or Fuente, will lose more players. If someone is happy, you want them to stay, if they're unhappy you want them to go. The real danger is schools paying under the table, forcing kids to stay for money or threats of ineligibility and preventing a real free market for transfers.
 
How in the world are we ever going to rebuild our basketball program with this type of rule in the one-and-done era ?

The pending name, image, likeness payments could be used as leverage. "Come to our school. We'll get you a real sweet NIL deal with the local car dealership."
 
I think biggest question with this new rule will be what happens when a coach is fired/leaves/retires. Could lead to situations where every time a coach leaves, 3/4 of the team does as well, which would give incentive to an AD to not fire a coach that probably should be fired. I support the rule change for sure, but stuff like that will be interesting to see play out.

It will take a good recruiter. A guy who can bring in talented players just below the one and done level who stay and take the program from bad to at least middle of the pack.
 
Luke Ford, a tight end from UGA, transferred to Illinois to be closer to his family (from a small town in rural IL), primarily his ailing grandfather. The NCAA denied his exemption and he had to sit out all last year. His grandfather died this week and never got to see him play.

There should be some sort of legal recourse against the NCAA for stuff like this. What a miserable, corrupt organization.
 
The NCAA is so random with those ad hoc decisions. Taking that out of their hands would be one positive.

That can be handled by timing the open transfer period. Give the newly hired coach a chance to "rerecruit" the players before they can leave. Making the transfer window in May would do that.

Football coaches are usually hired in December and January. They have spring practice before anyone can leave.

Maybe authorize a few full team practices in April for newly hired basketball and spring sports coaches?
 
All good ideas.
 
One positive is that it could have hastened the firing of coaches like BZ or Manning.

Coaches this bad could see almost all of their players transfer.

Overall this will likely not be beneficial to the game.

Bz and Manning did see almost all of their players transfer. We didn't fire them anyway.
