[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1463513, member: 4069"] Officially, the NCAA gives this reason: "Transfer rules safeguard the process and help student-athletes make rational decisions about the best place to pursue an education and compete in their sport. This is important, as student-athletes who transfer are less likely to earn a degree than those who remain at their original school. The transfer process also protects student-athletes who have chosen a school from ongoing recruiting attempts and third-party interference. " The real reason is of course, money. In today's landscape, I think the ideas on transfers is antiquated, but the NCAA, (and you're going to laugh at this,) thought it would keep the sport clean by preventing players being enticed to move programs by people behind the scenes. Like say for example, Mark Smith. In any case, I think this sort of thing will evolve, Loyalty is a two-way street, and programs want loyal athletes....so there needs to be some counter-balance that satisfies all parties (fans, schools, conferences, athletes). Right now, there's probably a fair amount of P5 schools poaching smaller schools, for example, but that's what the big boys do because the market at larger schools demands it. Not sure where it will end up, but I don't expect a total free-for-all 5 years from now, nor that the current penalties stay as they are. [/QUOTE]
