Message: [QUOTE="Yorkeez4, post: 3958779, member: 4434"] I am a proponent of the new transfer rule. If you look at college students in general you will find a large number of students transfer. There are many reasons for a student to transfer and I think athletes should have the same opportunities. When free agency came into professional sports many were saying it would ruin sports - it did not. And it won’t ruin college sports either. Sure the first couple of years will be chaotic but once the dust settles things will be fine. Some universities will have an advantage but that is true today. As has been noted, this year is an anomaly because of the new rule and COVID. it will settle down as time goes on. I do agree with the SEC rule that all athletic scholarships are for four years unless the student athlete violates the schools code of conduct. One question I do have - if an athlete uses the transfer exception and then graduates with eligibility remaining can they then transfer again, as a graduate student, without sitting out a year? This article discusses the high percentages of transfers in universities.
