Transfer

As a former college athlete ( division 2 level), I understand the need for but don't agree with transfer rules. Kids sign scholarship papers but the scholarship is only for one year at most places. Should they decide to leave and wish to play at the same level, they must sit out a year. In addition, restrictions can be placed on what schools they can transfer to. Coaches should be held to the same standard. Leave before your contract is up, sit out a year. Shouldn't be able to go work at certain schools for at least 2 years. If 18 year olds are expected to commit, coaches should as well. After all, some freshmen,sophomores and juniors committed to certain schools because of the coaches that are there. I'm not railing on Clemson, just the entire transfer system. I hate Kitts leaving but he only has a 5 year window to complete his eligibility. He must feel like he needs to go elsewhere to be happy. Good luck to him. He's probably going to miss out on some great opportunities to win some championships

I stated that I understood the reason for the rules. Just think coaches should be held to the same standard. Analogy: you spend 5 years courting your girlfriend to make her your wife. You move her halfway across the country after the marriage. You divorce her 6 months later. You move on to the next hot chick but she has to stay in your dumpy little town? Nope she can go wherever she likes. Get it?

You also must realize they have learned the system, plays, etc. from the school they are leaving. It would be an unfair advantage should they go to a rival or same conference competitor.

They could share that irregardless of whether they attend that school or not. It would be worse for a coach to go to a rival school than a player. That's even more reason to restrict coaches moving on before their contract is up

For instance: What if our DL coach went to coach at Coot university. It would be more harmful than Demare Kitt transferring to them. He would know everything about our defense. All the calls, the system, tendencies, etc.

If every player transferred because they're not a starter their freshman year, or feel they won't get ample playing time for a couple of years, you would never see a team have depth.

The point of this post is this: transfer rules are unfair to athletes when coaches are allowed to move on without penalty to do what's best for them. If its allowed for coaches it should be allowed for athletes. Heard this yesterday: an athlete in this state had been committed to coot university since the 9th grade in a sport other than football. Just before the early signing period, this athelete was told they had over recruited for his class and he no longer had a scholarship offer. This kid is screwed. Most programs have already allocated their money to the recruits for next year. How is this fair to that kid? The system is failing the athletes

Double Standard

You can't restrict their mobility and expect to retain the right to terminate them for poor performance. Who would have wanted to be stuck with RS until his contract was up?

Athletes are terminated at a lot of places because of poor performance. This occurs by reducing their scholarship amount or by non renewal of scholarship. Especially in sports like baseball where athletes are on partial scholarships. Their mobility is restricted when they choose to leave on their own. As I stated earlier, this isn't a rant on Clemson. It's more about the ncaa

These guys get the playbook, they know the signals, cadence, language. You allow them to go to a direct competitor it gives that team an unfair advantage. Also lends to more underhanded dealings such as rivals booster finds out a kid wants to transfer, offers him X to transfer to rival to give that coach and team all the plays and inside information. This happens in pro, doesn't need to come to college. Also, without the sit out year, every guy that didn't earn a starting job would be transferring every year and it would be chaos and no continuity. This is one of the rules that actually is well thought out and serves an actual purpose, unlike, oh say targeting for example.

people are grasping what you're saying. this is not about the athletes, it's about the coaches. and it makes perfect sense. it's the brilliant mind of the ncaa at work again.
