Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 4625581, member: 1220"] We can thank the NCAA for their lack of consistancy and draconian rules for this. They went from one extreme to the other. They should have had the one free transfer for a players first two years in a program in place right from the start. However, these mass transfers have often kept many players from having a chance to develop. The are recruited over with vet players so they end up sitting on the bench and never get a chance to show what they can do. It also makes many programs nothing but rookie camps for high profile ones who can grab players once they have developed and proved themselves. It makes it not only difficult for coaches in respect to planning how to use scholarships, but also recruits. It makes it hard for high school players to pick programs that correspond with oppenings for playing time. They can be recruited over not just with players out of high school but also vets who they will have no chance to compete against. The extra elegibility for the covid year soon being gone will not eliminate the transfer issue. The cat is out of the bag and WCBB will never be the same. I think this will lose many fans who will just no longer be able to identify with teams that are constantly in flux. I know my fandom has waved already. WCBB can not afford to lose its fanbase. Team consistency is one factor that it still had over the men who were constantly being depleated by early professional entry player losses. WCBB does not nor never did have a large school fan base. Most fans were older generation basketball fans who had given up on the direction of the mens game. Thanks NCAA. [/QUOTE]
