Message: [QUOTE="militarydog, post: 3453977, member: 9841"] I don’t see how you could get that from what what I said. I didn’t say or imply that at all. All I said was that I was in favor of the grad transfer rule because it encourages players to go ahead and get their undergraduate degrees and pursue graduate degrees. Just because a rule encourages or reinforces a good behavior doesn’t mean an individual would have otherwise behaved in a contrary manner. Regarding the grad rule I think I relayed this story in an earlier post on a positive experience I saw with it. I had a relative whose daughter was recruited to a larger school for basketball. She did okay but wasn’t playing a lot of minutes. She approached the head coach about redshirting and finishing her degree then grad transferring. She agreed to let the player do that. The player finished her undergraduate degree then grad transferred to a smaller school with two years left to play. She completed her grad degree and won a conference title while playing a big role on the team. Overall it was a good situation for everyone as her former school had the befit of play while she was there and had an athlete graduate with a very high gpa. Her new school depended on her ability to win the championship and had an athlete graduate in grad school with a high gpa. The player had a good experience at both schools and an undergraduate and graduate degree. [/QUOTE]
