The transfer rule changes on Monday! Unlimited transfers

[lpkilla77]

Starting on Monday it looks like you can transfer as much as you want but just not in the middle of the year.
This means there should be another huge influx of players that were stuck because they couldn't transfer that second time without sitting out.
Starting on Tuesday I guess?

New transfer rule allows for immediate eligibility

A new NCAA transfer rule that allows for immediate eligibility will not limit the number of times an athlete can transfer, but they can't transfer midyear and play for a second school in the same season.

This would be good news for say somebody that's looking to build a team.......

 

[StubbornPenny]

Has anyone actually been stuck? Seems like waivers are granted the vast majority of the time

 

[bnewt]

wow, the college game is looking more and more like free agency in all of the major pro sports
don't like the bidding wars that are now starting to appear front & center

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Hope we learned our lesson with Mitchell. We shouldn’t ever at UK have to resort to anybody that is a serial transferer.

CBB’s off season has become like one giant unregulated auction.

Now for sale to highest bidder: EVERYONE!

I think the Robinson guy from byu has been at several schools but I’d take him in a heartbeat. Something happened with Mitchell, whether it be misuse or lost confidence.

I thought they would go the other way and possibly provide oversight and structure to the new era.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Anyone surprised that the NCAA went in the exact opposite direction they should have gone?

I know it won't be easy, but they have to figure out a way to slow down the transfers, put onus on the players, and allow coaches to properly construct rosters..

Free agency...


but those poor college kids

 

[UK90]

No, it’s WAY crazier than in pro sports. The pro sports player acquisition system is regulated by strict rules, a draft, salary caps, and players have to wait a few years before they become free agents.

The new college sports system is comparatively total Wild West anarchy. EVERYONE is essentially a free agent EVERY year and there are no controls or limits on what can be spent to buy a kid.

Let's make a deal!

Mitchell was great for us at the 5 when all the bigs were out. He still provided good minutes up until he was injured.

 

[meow_cat]

It's like musical teams. Just plain silly sometimes.

Tre Mitchell? Like one of the only two guys that showed up to play basketball in our opening round this year?

 

[HeismaNole]

The only way out of this is signing contracts/making them employees.

 

[FurdTerguson]

Just give the players one get out of jail free card. Every transfer after that = no NIL.

 

[seccats04]

Kal, happened with Mitchell.

 

[BigTyrone]

The NCAA has absolutely no authority over NIL any more. They can’t make or enforce any rules relating to NIL.

 

[lpkilla77]

Im sure there are a few guys stuck with no "story" to get a waiver.
Ima bet some dudes are available on Tuesday after this passes signatures. Its really cuz of football but I'll take it!


Screaming coaches are in trouble. Calipari.
Nice coaches are golden. Pope.
Imo

 

[lpkilla77]

I'm starting to think he might not transfer. Waiting

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Tre Mitchell? Like one of the only two guys that showed up to play basketball in our opening round this year?

This. He isnt the reason we lost that game.

The guy was forced to play too many minutes and got multiple injuries due to it.

 

[Smashcat]

I thought they would go the other way and possibly provide oversight and structure to the new era.

Me too.

 

[DreadLox]

Mitchell was great for us at the 5 when all the bigs were out. He still provided good minutes up until he was injured.

What has he done for us lately, eh?

 

[Smashcat]

Ditto.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Robinson would be safe since he'd be transferring because the coach is transferring but no more Mitchell nonsense.

I'll say this much about it. It is ridiculous...but the offseasons are definitely not boring. Day to day you never know who may transfer out or transfer in.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Tre Mitchell? Like one of the only two guys that showed up to play basketball in our opening round this year?

Mithell absolutely sukked. Cal ran the offense through him in that game so of course he scored some over small guys. Did you not watch the season? Dude was horrendous.

 

[ukwizard]

UK was never better than when Mitchell was playing the 5 and we were ballin with guards plus him. IMO the 3 centers coming into the fray hurt.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Except there are no multi year contracts in college now. Every year is now a contract year in college.

 

[bubba_bomb]

I think players should have access to NIL but the roster turnovers have to stop. Should be some sort of cap on how many teams a player can play for in a 4 or 5 year stretch.

 

[EliteBlue]

This is the opposite of the direction they should have went. Tou have to have some guidelines on NIL etc. getting 1 free transfer but enforcing a sitout year while for a second transfer while keeping that year of eligibility is how it should work. Only exceptions being coaching changes or immediate family emergencies but you’re required to attend a university within 8 hours drive time of that family members permanent address for the previous year.

Nobody is punished. They maintain that year of eligibility but the sitting out is somewhat of a deterrent so we don’t have wide open free agency and coaches can build teams

 

[Blueaz]

No, it’s WAY crazier than in pro sports. The pro sports player acquisition system is regulated by strict rules, a draft, salary caps, and players have to wait a few years before they become free agents.

Hell, if I were putting up a million in NIL...better damn guarantee there would be a contract with stipulations that the player would need to meet, to have renewed (or bonuses kick in)

 

[Phil_The_Music]

I'm excited about the future of UK basketball with Pope at the helm but I'm really afraid college basketball in general is going to be ruined overall.

 

[Blueaz]

NIL yes... NOT pay for play... HUGE difference
that anyone with half a brain, knew this would happen...either above or below the table

 

[rick64]

So pretty much anything goes now with college athletics. Someone remind me again the reason for the existence of the NCAA.

 

[bubba_bomb]

NIL yes... NOT pay for play... HUGE difference

Any thoughts on a solution?

 

[WildcatNC]

The only way out of this is signing contracts/making them employees.

At minimum they need to create a separate classification of employee, kind of like contracting so both parties are bound by their agreements.

Something.

 

[UK90]

Well, it certainly will never again be the same thing we grew up with.

At this point, the NCAA might as well just cut the bullshit and honestly admit that they’re really professional athletes. Get rid of the requirement that they be enrolled in classes and re-label them as employees playing for the university-sponsored pro team.

Then maybe we could come up with some common sense regulation based on the new reality.

 

[dl51344]

They are removing the rules because like so many things in our society today enforcing them was too hard. So, just get rid of them Makes their jobs easier.

 

[DDMatUK=NBA]

We don't make the rules, they are what they are. But the team that works best within those rules...wins most. Imagine that! Accept and embrace what you can't change, or get left behind.

The beauty and the similarity of the NIL and portal it seems is that yes, it's a lot like free agency. So, if someone plans to transfer for a better paying gig elsewhere...they dang well better show off at their current gig. Right? That's how it seems in the free agency game to me. Those guys play their best when they are looking for a big contract.
