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.

It will be challenged, but something needs to be done, and at least he is looking at it. I know it is the NCAA pushing it along with some AD's across the country

Conversation starter for the people who will decide rules and regulations. Not for the clowns on talk radio.
 
1) Executive orders are memos. They dont mean hooey.
2) The last thing we want is these people messing with college athletics. They dont know what they are doing when it comes to the stuff they ARE supposed to know about.

The commissioners of the leagues are not familiar with the problems of their leagues. Wow, amazing analysis.

Just be happy someone is trying to address the chaos in college sports. The NCAA has done squat on their own.

These record-setting numbers should not surprise fans that were not buying the whole "NIL will ruin college athletics" narrative that some were pushing over the past few years. If anything, we are seeing an increase of fans tuning in to watch the product.

No jurisdiction whatsoever. Really pointless, although it's something while the people who are supposed to be dealing with it - aren't

This should read "Executive order aims to limit young people from making life-changing (and/or generational) wealth" ... we need to get back to holding the people that generate millions and billions for others (not to mention 30 year TV ratings highs) hostage!

Some folks used to preach they should stay in school ... well, now they are, and the same folks don't like that either, lol ... that's all it's about imho, control, in so many obvious ways

What is the point of limiting transfers?

... otherwise why stop with athletes, let's limit general students to 5 years too; after that, they can't use the library, participate in intramurals, or use any facilities

Expand ...

This is a perfect example of why some folks wanna 'go back' to when they owned the athlete ... they can't be having this kinda stuff, lol

I wasn't talking about the commissioners.

There does need to be a comprehensive legal framework for college sports, and this stupid executive order is not it.

The current ratings numbers are calculated differently. Not clear if or by how much ratings are up.
 
I think its fine. Needs to be 100% official. The thing with NIL is simple. Anyone should be able to play anywhere and get an NIL deal if said company wants to "hire" the player. Anything tied to a specific school from a third party source for said player to attend said school should 100% be illegal.

There needs to be some sort of regulation to this current system.

The obvious reasons for transfer such as coaching change, family reasons, etc.. Should be allowed or waiverable.

Outside of that 5 years playing college ball and 1 Free transfer is fine.
 
This benefits the big spenders who can offer more money and lock players up and stockpile talent on their bench. Why do we want to help these schools?

It attaches government funding for the school to following these guidelines. It’s “technically” forcing the school to do something, not the player. But literally every take I’ve read is this has next to no chance of sticking.

I still do not think this is within the power of the executive branch. It's legislative in nature. Congress can absolutely do this, and they should (or something similar). NCAA could try to do this, but they've lost in court so often that they don't want to without backing from Congress. You'd think Congress, which is incredibly unpopular, would see this as low hanging fruit to get something done that people would actually like. It's utterly non-political.

I like to imagine that this is how that franchise purchase evolved. A friend of Sean's was going out for ice cream and he asked,
"Hey Sean, do you want a Ben & Jerry's?"

And Sean answered,
"Yes, yes, I do"

I'm not sure if buying a franchise is the right thing to do for a young student athlete, but this is what you hope they do with the money, invest in their futures.

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.

Why? I signed a contract to perform a certain job for a certain organization. Shortly after signing the CEO announced he was taking a new job. The company still expects me to perform. Why is getting paid to play basketball different?

Which States Are At-Will Employment States? | Paycor

Find out the employment at will laws for your state, including whether there are public policy exemptions or covenant of good faith, with our map and table.
www.paycor.com www.paycor.com

What Does At-Will Employment Mean?
Employment at-will is the principle that an employer can terminate employment for any reason, at any time provided that is not illegal. Likewise, an employee is free to leave a job at any time for any or no reason with no adverse legal consequences. All states have some form of employment at-will although mostly with some restrictions—notably Montana, in line with European nations, only allows this during an initial 12-month probation period.

What are the Advantages of Employment At-Will?
In theory, at-will employment offers freedom and flexibility to both employers and employees. It gives employers the financial security to reduce labor costs fast. It also means that employees can choose to leave a job they dislike without having to work any notice period. However, critics claim that at-will employment leads to job insecurity, disadvantaging workers.

I read another article on him, and it said he liked B&J so much, he figured he'd buy a franchise so he can have free ice cream
