Love this. Been saying for the last year to anyone that would listen that in addition to NIL progress we need to permit S-As to transfer once without eligibility ramifications.

In general, if young men/women are having a good academic & athletic experience they won’t transfer!

Tulane AD Troy Dannen is also backing this proposal. I don't think this is the end of the world as you know it.

Its not the end of the world. I said its dripping with unintended consequences. One of them? It will be the end of building a program the way its always been done.

From now on, for the G5 every year will be a total rebuild. The rule will probably mean lots of turnover at the mid/lower level P5's as well. Consistency will be hard to come by if you arent one of the top 10-15 P5 programs. The days of building a program by bringing in kids, red shirting them and developing players would be over. Its not a viable strategy if anyone can transfer anytime without sitting out a year. Instead---the smarter strategy will be to just rebuild every year in the portal. If Im running a program, Im using my 25 scholarships on transfers INTO my program---because they cant leave once they get here without giving up a year. If I use my scholarships on HS students---they can leave anytime they want without giving up a year. My program is more stable because Im filling it with transfers who are now more likely to stay if they develop. So, Im going to let someone else develop the HS kids. Instead, I'll work the portal for the kids that have already spent a year on someone else's dime getting bigger and stronger---and are more likely to be here for the rest of their college career. A smart coach is using as many of his 25 scholarships a year on portal kids as he can.
