Executive order aims to limit NCAA athletes to 5 years, 1 transfer

An executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Friday limits NCAA athletes to a five-year playing window and how often they can transfer between schools.

Something has to be done, I'm not sure what, nor am I paid to figure out what, but something. Not sure if this is it. But , something needs to make college ball make sense again and less crazy.

This won't stick. Will be challenged in the courts.

Ya, it's not an easy fix.

That will get challenged in court but at least it kicks of a needed debate and solution

Pretty sure this is a case similar to when I did an internship for the CT States Attorney in college and I wrote my own recommendation letter to future employers. The State’s Attorney glanced at it and signed it. He had no idea what it said…

(My one take away from that internship was to fight every traffic ticket.)

I mean comparatively this executive order is pretty reasonable as a proposal

The NCAA is a private organization. Please stop being so gullible.

This won't stick. Will be challenged in the courts. Executive orders aren't always legal as we've seen.

A federal court will grant a stay on the order until litigation gets resolved. Probably within a week, actually..

I don't understand why this (or something similar) won't stick. This is basketball, not college. Kids can go to whatever college they get admission to and get an education... no sitting out a year. They can transfer 10 times, if they want.

But, why can't the NCAA make up rules for their extracurricular sports leagues?

This is the only post where this executive order will be discussed and if you try to drag politics into it in any way, you will be gone.

There will have to be exceptions if a coach moves and a couple of others. But this is a very reasonable proposal from which to proceed.

I wonder if colleges couldn't make this a requirement for acceptance to the university. Make every student agree to it. Like the stuff you have to accept when you attend a concert.

Many of the schools are getting taxpayer money

The fact that not all of them are is why this executive order is meaningless.

Or sign a player to a multi year NIL deal.

Effectiveness and enforceability aside

I agree with the general premise and would be happy if this got effectuated

I imagine that ebery one of them is under some tax preference status from the IRS.

This won't hold, but logically it should lead to some far more clearly defined terms than what we currently have.

I don’t think there would be a legal issue but the university would be competing against other universities that won’t require that. Universities couldn’t all collude to require it.

If it gets a discussion started, then it was effective. On its own, I don’t see how it has any teeth.
