NCAA boss against additional transfer limitations

NCAA president Charlie Baker said he's not in favor of rules or federal laws that would place new limits on the way college athletes transfer between schools.

I think shortening the window would be justified and helpful, and would not impinge on people's "right" to transfer. The end of extra Covid-related eligibility will clean up some of the chaos.

Re-institute the sit-a-year rule. These kids are supposedly in school to get an education. Non-student athletes can transfer any time they want and slide right into the next semester of classes - so can "student"-athletes....... they just have to wait a year before they're eligible to play the sport again. Wah..... They're not incurring any hardship that regular students don't have. Sitting a year is a consequence of the decision to transfer. Actions have consequences. Again, wah.....

I wish, but it's never going to happen. The comparison with regular students is not legit, though. How many regular students are on full scholarship, plus cost-of-attendance money, plus housing (if they want it), plus meals, plus academic help, and most are attending colleges that have guaranteed all this for their entire time in school?

When regular students transfer, it's generally due to academic reasons or personal hardship. I speak from personal experience on that last one.

Right. No regular student gets the sweetheart deal these athletes on full scholarship get.

In all of this, they have basically indicated that the the full scholarship with tuition, room, board, nutrition care, medical care, rehab care if needed, specialized tutoring, and so many other perks....is all of $0 value.

If it has no value, take it away. Pay them then let pay their way. But that would be considered a grave injustice.

If those things do actually have value (and they do) shouldn't all NIL valuations be adjusted to deduct the costs of those things? That only seems reasonable to me.

It would be reasonable if the NIL were part of the Grant-in-Aid document you sign when you enroll at a school. NIL is being used as an inducement, but it's supplemental.
