[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1392310, member: 527609"] Are the interests of the student-athletes actually to move around all that much though? In an academic, social, or basketball sense? I'm certainly not proposing some draconian ban on transfers. The sit-a-year policy makes decent enough sense to me. But if, say, basketball adopted a rule like football where you can only bring in so many guys in a year, or perhaps a two or three year period, that would totally change the incentives in terms of the way in which coaches deal with their roster. They'd be more likely to try and keep and develop their existing players over looking for new recruits, and less likely to bring in players who have less than four years to contribute. Subtle changes to incentive structures can have large effects. [/QUOTE]
