[U]Comment One.  What's Driving This?[/U]

A recognition, perhaps, that the standards for "hardship" avoidance of the sit-out year have eroded and become so opaque that the current system is untenable.

That erosion just invites perceptions of arbitrariness, hypocrisy, corruption, you name it.

In other words, we seem to be on the verge of having no standards anyway.  Those tasked with making and rationalizing subjective NCAA decisions must have a growing "ick" factor in their jobs.

Hence the appeal of something nice and objective.

[U]Comment Two.  Pick Your Fear[/U]

A fear expressed by some in this thread is that the successful coaches will change their ways to avoid key players running away the moment they don't get what they want.

A contrary fear, and the original one behind the restriction, is that the best players on less successful teams will all go running [I]toward[/I] the successful coaches.

Ever play Red Rover?

Deciding which way to run could give the players whiplash.
