Message: [QUOTE="Guapo, post: 3036999, member: 8179"] You make a lot of intellectual jumps here; this will not cause college basketball, or college sports, to cease to exists. I don’t think this will be nearly as devasting to non blue blood schools as some are saying. For every kid that leaves to go to Kansas, it’ll force someone from Kansas’ roster and give schools farther down the ladder access to Kansas-level talent that otherwise wouldn’t have that access. Talented coaches will know how to navigate this system. Remember, the only reason you care about this is because it impacts something that is a form of entertainment to you. I think it’s wrong to try and tell someone how to make life decisions based on what’s best for your favorite basketball team, y’know? If a kid is on a theatre or music scholarship to UConn and they want to transfer, should they have to sit out a year at their new school before they perform again? Bottom line: if a kid doesn’t want to be at UConn, then let them leave. They shouldn’t be punished for that decision. The arguments you and others here are using are the same arguments that were used against free agency in pro sports 40 or 50 years ago. Those arguments were wrong then and they are wrong now. [/QUOTE]
