[QUOTE="Hoppy2105, post: 1470217, member: 9835"] My solution is simple. It takes all decision making and gives it to the players but doesn’t punish the schools simply because the kids want to leave. It also doesn’t allow kids to hold their scholarship hostage and make demands. The one thing it doesn’t solve is this current issue of coaches pushing players out. I’d have to think more on that. My solution: Every transfer is free. No sit out years. Immediately eligible no matter what. The caveat, you pay for the transfer with a year of eligibility. In essence, the first transfer is free because each player has 5 years to play 4. It’s the mulligan to help take care of kids who get home sick or feel they will be buried on the depth chart (whether they figured it out or the coaches told them) or even simply those that want a change of scenery. Then each transfer after that is subject to the same rules. So after a player’s freshman year (4 years left to play 3) he transfers and has 3 to play 3. However, if a player gets transfer happy or isn’t taking the relationship seriously (as you stated Gritty) he will pay dearly. After a player’s sophomore year (if they’ve transferred before) they will have 2 years to play 2. Transferring again would kill one of those valuable years left and they would be a junior at their next school with only one year left to play. This method would deter multiple transfers and keep players at one school for long periods of time (to get the degree they are supposedly going to school for) while also making players/families think long and hard about WHY they are transferring. (Since even though they can play the following year, it does eat up a year of eligibility) Every player is treated the same and we take the decision out of the subjective/corrupt hands of the NCAA. Grad transfers wouldn’t have this rule as they completed their degree and have earned the free transfer. [/QUOTE]
