The only potential restrictions are that student-athletes would be asked to meet a minimum GPA, in order to transfer immediately, and that any additional transfer would require the student-athletes to sit out a full year. The proposal, which is being solicited among members for feedback, is gaining increased traction in recent weeks, a source confirms." http://247sports.com/Article/Sources-Major-Potential-Shif...

If this does get approved it will be open season on talented players at other then P5 programs. If it does pass,this should make schools much more careful about coach's contracts,since they could potentially take a bunch of star athletes with them if they leave.

Honestly, this is something that should be in place now. Is it not? Of course the kicker is that freedom of choice would allow that player to leave on their choice, to follow the coaches that recruited them from the start. So, there's really little protection.

I think everyone should have the right to play wherever they want (and be paid for their labor...but that's another argument). But I also think it will destroy college athletics.

I agree with your last statement. I'll leave the other to the thread dedicated to it already. I'd be stunned if the majority of coaches and AD's are actually behind this in principle. If they were, the majority could stand to lose one or more of their best players almost every year.

If they were, the majority could stand to lose one or more of their best players almost every year. I think most of the P5 coaches and AD's wouldn't have an issue with this. I think they would look at it as an opportunity to "acquire" talent from "lesser" programs. I also think they feel they are sooooo powerful no one is going to raid their talent. About the only thing they might fear is losing players,when a coach departs. But that can handled by properly wording coach's contracts.

It's awesome news for the Kentuckys and Dukes of the world though. They are already doing the one and dones but now they can do it with other teams' players.

The majority of athletic departments may not be P5,but the P5's carry a lot of weight. Also,from reading the article in your original post,the chair of the committee handling this,who is from a South Dakota State doesn't come off as opposed. If he's representative of other smaller conference schools this may happen without much objection.

NCAA athletes are not employees though Coaches are. Coaches are, but the student athletes who move on would not be restrained. Most coaches move "UP", and will be focusing on players who are at the higher level. A coach taking a job at a major conference school is not going to be around very long if he takes the 6'8" center from the small mid-major. That coach had better be focusing on higher level players to compete night in and night out with the higher level game.

I don't think a lot of people understand this. The vision behind this is something along the lines of when a major conference team loses players to the draft/graduation, they can simply pillage top players from mid-major schools and have them jump right in, just like we saw with Jaaron. Players jumping between P5 schools isn't a big deal to the P5 schools. Players jumping from a mid-major to a P5 school is a HUGE deal to the mid-major. The mid-majors would essentially become the minor leagues for the big boys.

If we lose players where do you think we are going to fill our roster? Every roster of every team is going to be in constant flux. It's also going to have a huge impact on recruiting. It's going to be impossible to have a four or five year plan. The only group I see this being good for are walk-ons.

That coach had better be focusing on higher level players to compete night in and night out with the higher level game. Student athletes may not be restrained,but you can restrict a coach's ability to take players to another program. I would think you would include language in their contract similar to a buy out clause. As far as a coach taking players with him. It depends on who the coach has playing for him. Are you suggesting that if a coach has a Gary Trent like player,he wouldn't want him to go with him to another program or that that player wouldn't be capable of playing at a higher level ?

Making college sports into pro sports (free agency) essentially. I would advocate doing the opposite and taking away the graduate transfer. You want to transfer, you sit a year. Period. Put some skin in the game for making that decision. Coaches have a buy-out and occasionally other contract deterrents for leaving. The only way to have the same skin in the game for student-athletes is requiring a year to sit. If you want to transfer so bad, just take the year to sit and move on. Taking away that deterrent will turn college sports into the Wild West. And of course, kill the little guys (as usual)...

It would become the college version of what is happening to the NBA. Good players stockpiled on a few select teams and a bunch of lousy teams throughout the rest of the league. This rule would benefit some and hurt a lot of others. I don't think any student athlete should be "blocked" from going to another school. But to open the door on letting them openly transfer immediately like this proposal would simply open the floodgates. I think it would be terrible overall.

Recruiting is hard enough now. Look what we went thru when Simmons left. Seems like we would always be running around trying to fill last minute roster spots. Horrible idea.
