That's tricky for sure but the answer is easy

"Our athletic budget only allows us to pay for you to take 6hours in the summers"

That sounds like a pretty easy lawsuit for an athlete to win, especially if you've got football or softball players taking 12 hours.

If they're allowing other athletes from other sports to take 12 hours, especially smaller revenue sports, not sure how it's not a lock for a lawsuit?

Football and basketball get the $ for summer first at smaller schools


Cutting their hours back wouldn't set off any red flag at all.

Non revenue sports aren't taking summer classes on the athletic department dime very often at all.

You don't see football players grad transferring too often, not like basketball, I highly doubt you're gonna see basketball and football programs across the country completely seize all summer classes to make it tougher on kids to graduate. I get what you're saying but the reality is it's very unlikely to happen, it's much more likely the NCAA just steps in and ends the transfer rule.

I know we both expected the rule to already be changed

Seeing it more and more in FB. Russell Wilson did it. As does the starting QB for Michigan.

This season Ralph David Abernathy IV did it for the Vols, even though he was injured until last week.

Oh it absolutely happens in football, it's just not near to the extent as in basketball. When you consider there's about 7 times as many scholarship football players as basketball players at a school, you hear about it much more frequently than in basketball, not all that common in football in comparison to basketball is what I was saying.

In football it seems to be in the opposite direction.

Not as many kids leaving mid majors and heading upwards. Guys that aren't playing are heading to other schools

Towles leaving Kentucky to go to Georgia is the latest. Might be there second year in a row playing a kid that lost their jobs at a lesser school

I would think it would be more popular in football because

1. There are more players on scholarship.
2. There are a lot of early enrollees that get a head start.

Kind of strange that you don't see as many grad transfers in college football. Maybe because more leave for the NFL, than there are that leave for the NBA? Just a theory.

UGA may be hiring Shannon Dawson, OC for UK, for same position at UK. Would be a terrible hire IMO, but would explain the Towles talk.

Wouldn't make any sense AT ALL. I didn't know Towles could transfer to another SEC school, I always get the rules confused, but it would be funny to see.

If he is given an unconditional release he can go anywhere he likes. That doesn't happen very often, but it's not unheard of either.

Hopefully we are trying to be nice for the four hard years he put into the program. He really tried. Not a dumb kid. Never got in trouble. Good guy to be around. Unfortunate situation.
