Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2525962, member: 7492"] We are the proverbial "slippery slope". I hope most of us understand the hypocrisy to which we refer on transfers vs. coaches abandoning deals midway through to take on a better job. So, my first job, I do well, but can't get a promotion or pay raise, am I allowed to go elsewhere or am I beholden to my company because they gave me the job and because they want a competent and cheap worker so they don't have to promote me or allow me to go elsewhere? That is what Hinson is saying. Sorry, I just don't buy it. What the NCAA has is a morals and ethics clause that if Power 5 schools (or any school) initiates contact with an athlete at another school, it's a violation. In my opinion, the NCAA needs to start banning coaches-HC, Assistants, Athletic Dept personnel, whomever violates these rules for pre-described years. However, students can, of their "own volition", leave a school. My quotes are for the fact that what kid leaves "without knowing" he can go where he wants without some re-assurance from the new school. Color me suspect for the highly talented athlete. This rule really puts the light on football and men's basketball and as such, is where the coach can and could limit what schools he would allow the student athlete to transfer to. Player wants to leave Alabama for Georgia, he can go over Saban's objection if he sits a year, or he can go anywhere else that Saban agrees to, and play the next year. That would prevent some abuses, not perfectly but it's something to allow athletes to find their best situation. [/QUOTE]
