One time transfer rule passes

Does this allow transfer between SEC schools? Seems like the SEC has their own rule about intra-conference transfers
This article says the SEC would still have to ok SEC to SEC transfers, unless the SEC has already updated the rule
Will the SEC be next? The ACC removes intraconference transfer rule

SEC still has to update, but the expectation is they’ll approve it, other conferences all are so SEC will be hurting themselves if they dont.

Not great for UT this year. Check out the top 10 transfers for 2021. UT has 4 of the top 10 going to other teams. Add in Henry T, who would be in the top 10 had he picked a school, and we would be losing 5 of the players ranked in the top 10. Going to take a bunch of highly ranked transfers coming to UT to balance this score. Maybe we can over the next 4 to 5 years.

Wrong sport bro, nobody cares about FB

Well, I care about football, but it's probably 3rd behind basketball and now, baseball.

the next move will be to allow players to sleep with coaches wives, daughters & gfs. Anything to keep from paying them.

Packervol,If they are going to leave,let them go ahead and be.able to play this year instead of having to wait a year.They are already.gone from UT,so what is the difference?Now we could also get some immediate help if someone.comes.here(like the.Longhorn linebacker).

This is going to be a killer for many programs. Their best players will just be using them like Community Colleges, waiting for a bigger school to offer (off the record of course).

This will be the end of college sports as we know it. But Tennessee football as we used to know it has been over for a long time.

If one time is a good idea, then why would 2 times not be a better idea?

2 would indeed be better than 1, and unlimited would be better than 2.

Yep I see where recruiting will be like, we really wanted you but go to Stepping Stone University and I'm sure we will have room for you next year. The player balls out the next year then transfers to said college. Player bombs at Stepping Stone U and the coach does not even call.

Honestly, I think this is the camel having his nose under the tent. We get to the point of college sports having a form of "free agency" and "paying players"...well...that's something we've already got. Pro sports. I know college sports is big business and isn't this "pure" form of entertainment, but when you're flipping rosters and players are coming and going every year, it's hard to really get attached to a team. I think it's going to increase the divide between the elite programs and the rest of the programs.

Hope this really is a "one time" deal, but I doubt it. I think it will morph into something that provides a form of free agency. Sad to see things go that way.

If I didn't know better, I would think this is an attempt to insult someone that has a lot more experiences in life on you.

I hate agreeing with Saban...but this is a terrible idea. Any school that's not a traditional power is doomed to become a glorified JUCO as their stars wait to take a turn with a program that's already in the title chase.

 

[wmcovol]

NCAA should also pass a limit on number of transfers that a school can accept. Say no more than 1/3 of your available scholarships can go to transfers. Otherwise expect some programs to be built completely off transfers.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Not necessarily a fan, but at least it is across the board, instead of the case by case BS that has been going on the past few years.

 

[JelloPuddinPup]

I'm okay with it even if as a fan I don't like it. NCAA is a business no matter how much they want to claim they're not. Coaches can leave/move as they want with minimal to no penalty, players can't. This gives them another inch of control on their careers and let's be honest, they've essentially been able to do this (especially if you want to play QB at Georgia or OSU) already. This just confirms what was already essentially happening.

Yes, there will be some schools/players that abuse this and whatnot but I think it's at worst 50/50 good/bad at the moment. I am willing to see how 3-4 years of having this in place turns out before calling it a horrible thing.
