RE: Calipari wants grad transfers to sit a year - need to "cut this thing by two-...
Well, if anyone bothered to actually read the article, the NCAA is putting grad transfers at the top of their list.

Rick Byrd was asked directly about it and said he is against immediate eligibility. Calipari was also asked about it and had the same opinion.

Calipari didn't volunteer an opinion on grad transfers out of thin air.


"The reality of the situation is that most of this scholarship money does not lead to students obtaining a degree. Lennon’s displeasure with this system proves, somewhat ironically, that the NCAA does not appreciate being used by its student-athletes."

"It would be a stretch to say that this system is broken. Some coaches such as Memphis head man Josh Pastner have spoke of the graduate transfer option as a “privilege” that graduates should be privy to (it should also be noted that Pastner just landed a top notch point guard due to the current grad transfer rule). However, the ineffectiveness of the rule in terms of graduate students obtaining degrees is a solid focal point for Lennon’s ire."

"While Lennon isn’t sure what he plans to do to rectify the “issue” that he’s pinpointed, he expects changes to the current rules to take place within the next year. Here’s hoping that he considers a few of these amateur level suggestions on adding some balance to amateur athletics."


"It’s been almost impossible to keep up with who’s staying and who’s going all over the nation. At the beginning of college basketball’s free agency period, we anticipated a good deal of movement, but the amount of turnover that we’ve seen this April has been without precedent. The only thing more impressive than the amount of talent that has changed schools, is the number (and quality) of players who is still waiting to make a decision. This won’t be the last time we visit Player Movement Central, but here’s a few noteworthy transfers that have gone down in the last two weeks."

It's ...... All ...... A ....... SCAM!!!!!!

Which is fine. Just don't call them "student athletes" because this isn't about education.

True indeed! More than likely, just the kind of angst that solidifies that the P5 will eventually break away from the NCAA framework....
