Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3171165, member: 5798"] Agreed. Personally, I'd love to see a bit more [I]"structure[/I]" in the NCAA's student athlete transfer policy. I'd like to see a hard and fast deadline (if they don't already have one) for entering the transfer portal, i.e, 7 calendar days after the date of the NCAA women's Division 1 championship game. This would give coaches losing players notice and ample time to prepare to fill those vacancies, and not get caught "flat-footed" as a result of those transfers. No transfers (entry into the portal) would be allowed AFTER that date. If a player is unhappy and/or thinking about transferring, they know whether or not they are leaving by then. Transfers can be a good thing for both athlete and coaches if the "hard and fast" rules of transfer are fair and equitable across the board for everyone, i.e, no favoritism. Granted, it can be problematic when one of your best, or your best player(s) decides to leave, however, do you want a player on your team that no longer wants to be there? Disgruntled/unhappy athletes can move on, and coaches can fill holes immediately on their roster with "experienced" (graduate transfers) players. [/QUOTE]
