It’s the way in should have been along time ago.
Next is solving this outrageous NIL and transferring ever year when ever you want.

I will keep the legality/whether this will hold up in court aside.
I think this is a great first step. I think 5 to play 4 with the redshirt might be a little better but I think limiting players to a single transfer would have the biggest effect. Fans are tired of having players swap in and out willy nilly and it's hurting the game. 1 transfer and an exception for players on teams where a HC leaves.
Maybe some consideration into not letting players transfer if they have only one year of eligibility left so that we can do away with mercenaries. That way smaller schools don't invest in a player for 4 years just for them to transfer to Ohio State for their last year.

Our VB team could be insane with the Fab 3 getting another year of eligibility

Sign a contract out of high school for 5 years. School must honor it the full 5, BUT every player gets ONE renegotiation/transfer at any point during those 5 years. Could be new school, could be current school, but it’s ONE.
Blow up as a freshman, fine, renegotiate or transfer right away. Want to wait until your senior year, fine same deal.
Yes coaches would still have to “re-recruit” their players each year (before they renegotiate) but it wouldn’t be a total revolving door like it is now. Seems like it protects both the players and the school.
Any 2nd transfer, sit out a year with no NIL (still on scholarship), unless going down a level.

Common sense may prevail? It sure would be nice to get of all this craziness ended, so we fans could just watch football, and not be wondering who, what, when and how much.

IM4NUAlways said:I agree....but I wish the exemption for an additional xfer opportunity in the case where a HC leaves stipulate that the player can't follow the HC is he/she goes to a different program. In a 5 year window, a player gets one "free" xfer. A second may be granted for hardship reasons (one of which is if the HC who recruited you leaves). I think they need to nip, what is a rapidly growing trend, in the bud right away. It's bad enough a HC can be bought out from under you. But when that HC can pillage the roster without restriction? Bad juju. The kid can look around if the HC leaves, they just can't end up where the HC is now coaching. JMOI think the changing of a coach could be a reason to let them transfer.

I agree with some on here that the multiple transfers need to end. With athletes now being payed they are more like adults than ever. In the real adult world you have to make a lot of life altering decisions. In most instances you are stuck with the decision you make and have to deal with it. If you have a choice between two jobs and you later decide you picked the wrong one, it's rare you will get the opportunity to just leave and try again. And you will never get the opportunity to try again two, three, four, or even five times like some of these athletes are doing. Let them get a taste of the real world. If you make a commitment, sign a contract, give your word, whatever, most times in life you are going to have to live with your decision. I think we need to quite viewing limiting transferring as limiting player freedoms and viewing it more as living with the consequences (good or bad) of your choices and making the best of them.

That would almost guarantee the big schools/conferences breaking off from the NCAA entirely and starting a semi pro league. It would kill the sport entirely.Professional leagues have enforceable multi-year contracts and salary caps. There is certainly a way to get to something better than we have now.
