End of Graduate Transfers such as Reid Travis and Nate Sestina possible likely
- Thread starter ptril

Good then. I just read the title. Still doesn't the NCAA have bigger fish to fry? So now in college BB a kid can go pro straight from HS and now they want to make grad transfers a headache. NCAA are idiots. They want good ratings and that money, but they are not growing with the times and they are just making it harder for programs to adjust and be successful which is what they should want to keep their precious ratings. Just seems like college BB has enough obstacles with the NBA as it is. They want to make this harder, but coaches can still bolt from a college for more money and kids get stuck or have to sit out a year. Get your head out of your asses NCAA!
I mean why punish or change anything. If a kid puts his time in and is successful and wants to move on to give himself to be successful in BB longterm why make it hard for them? They gave their university enough time to gain a degree. NCAA is a joke and a bad one.
Counter productive and dumb idea and I realize it is Cal's.
What is the benefit to anyone to dock a ride because a guy playing ball doesnt complete a post graduate degree in a year?
I thought we want to encourage achievement on the floor and in the classroom?
Such a rule isn't an effort to advance the needs of student athletes but to help programs protect their rotations and I have no idea why Cal even needed to offer an opinion since we would have virtually no threat of such an event on the out flow.
He must have reverted to his UMass days for a minute and waxed nostalgic thinking how screwed he'd be if Padilla or somebody jumped ship senior year.

The NCAA is just worried about money, not student-athletes. Ok, great something for them to work on. When are they going to work on all the cheating and investigations?
Depends on the program. Many colleges offer a 5 year plan with a masters at the end.
Come on now. You have to throw insults when you disagree with someone. It is beyond reason to think someone can layout their reasons without insults.
Understood. But obviously a transfer wouldnt qualify for that.
They're not ending graduate transfers . please read the article . They going to make it a little harder but not that much. Moving on
Is the "graduate transfer" pathway expressly limited to an M.A. program? What if Reid Travis came to UK to attend the College of Law (3 years) or the College of Medicine (4 years); would Calipari's proposed rule change tie up a scholarship for all that time for one season of eligibility?
Completing a grad degree in one year while having a near full-time job is not easy to do. The quickest track to getting an MBA at my alma mater is 15 months, and that's basically doing it in four semesters (summer, fall, spring, summer) since summer school classes go by faster since each class meets like daily for 2-2.5 hours instead of weekly. Or at least that's what they were marketing near the end of my time there, things may have changed now. One of the MBA tracks is 42 hours, which there is no way one can get that done in 4 semesters since they won't allow someone to go over 9 hours a semester. The other is 36, so one could theoretically get that done in 4 semesters/15 months if they wanted to be 100% burnt out before it's over.
Almost everyone that does it works at least a part-time job and takes 2-3 years to complete it. I worked a full-time job when getting mine and it took me three years. I would have REALLY struggled to keep up with school and work if I tried to do it in 2 years. I don't know anyone who was on that 15-month track that had anything more than a campus student employment job where they are limited to an absolute max of 20 hours a week.

Sure JF Cats, I get the distinction, but there's not much of a difference, especially when you have to throw in "can you read?" It's unnecessary hostility. I'm not your enemy. Do you get that?
Yep, good points. If they require the player to finish the grad degree before leaving, that makes matters much more complicated. How many master's degrees only take a year to complete? Mine took 2.5 years. Most take at least 2 years. Why couldn't they use the same approach they use with APR scores and early NBA entrants? That is, why can't they just say players must be in good standing and progressing toward their degree? That makes more sense.

Will not affect Kentucky. All it would do is require the grad transfer to get their grad degree in one year or the school would have to give up one scholarship the next year. Cal never uses all his scholarships anyway.
Ha! I'm assuming you're joking. If so, I agree with your sarcastic point. Many on this board could use a lesson in how to argue without ad hominem attacks and insults. Clearly, we can disagree in an agreeable way.
or at the beginning, tar holes. Probably this new rule is designed to work to their favor. For each masters a freshman receives they'll get surplus award, additional scholarship. For any PhD awarded to sophomores by mid term that can have their choice between 2 additional scholarships the following season, or be allowed to add any former tarhole currently in G-league to their post-season roster.
I have two graduate degrees. Both 30+ hours. If anyone can do one of those in 1 year while working full time and make decent grades, then I’d like to shake their hand.
That is the way I look at it. You have 4 years of eligibility. If you can graduate in 3 years, then what is the difference in using your last year of eligibility the following year? If you were a Morman, or entered the military, you would still have that year available, 2-3 years later.
NCAA looking to now limit transfers because its being “abused”. Hopefully K will start using them soon so it can be considered revolutionary.
Its collegiate free agency. The NCAA doesnt have any justification to interject here, other than it just doesn't like it. Get the **** over it Emmert.
Curious: do folks just do a quick glance on the first page? There’s a thread that is already talking about this
I love RR but there is an ever growing number of grumpy people on here that seem to having nothing better to do than feel it’s their responsibility to patrol posts looking for something to bitch about. I apologize for using up all your Internet. Hopefully you can get some more soon.
Probably, but if transfer student enters into summer classes, before and after his full w semesters while he plays, he can probably complete it before the next fall semester. After all, they have just finished 4 year studies in 3 years, so they are probably used to summer classes.
It’s not being grump you goof. Why make another post when there’s already another one?
You feel like you’re special? Please answer since you’re a know it all
Too many take it personally when someone disagrees. Those people will never make it in the real world.
