I get that from a fan perspective but it indirectly gives the players less options so I’d pass on that one.

Agreed. My first thought is that the NCAA won't limit where students want to go to get their education. I mean, we need to at least pretend that "scholar" is still part of "scholar athlete", right? The point to this is that they're going to college. I mean, seriously, as long as that is what we're pretending, we need to keep that on the table. You can't limit where the kids go to get their education.

Now, we say that with one side of our faces, and with the other we tell them that they have to limit the number of offers each year to 25. So.... they ARE limiting their choices for education. So I can't explain that one. I don't know that I really care about the scholarship limits or not, but it is a little hypocritical that they limit the number of scholarships, they limit the scholarship offers per year, but they don't limit the transfers.

(Note that I know that this is the Colorado thread, but I don't want to be specific to Colorado in that opinion. I don't want Prime Time taking anything I say personal.)
(Also note that really, very few of the players on the field are really "scholar" athletes, anymore. So maybe that diminishes a lot of what I just said.)

Forget the scholar part then. I don’t like a governing body telling people where they can go work.

I don't follow a ton of pro sports, but Euro soccer leagues are the only ones i can think of where rookie contracts aren't limited and exclusive.
But that comes with exorbitant transfer fees that, for most of my life, has been dominated by Russian and Arab oil oligarchs.

I think there should be some limits. If 25 freshmen is a good #... why not 25 transfers? That's still a pretty high "program wipe" number. Effectively 50 dudes in 1 year.
I also like the idea of punishing excessive transferring.
First one should be a freebie, but then the 1yr no-play penalty. Big fan of the grad student permissions - reward them for finishing the degree.
Maybe add some other automatic freebies. If the HC bails for any reason. And let them also identify 1 additional coach - usually position coach. If that guy leaves, it's also wide open.

Edit: and ofc sanctions should also automatically trigger free transfers.
No applications/waivers to NCAA required. It's automatic.

So the source for these revenue claims are... himself...

「
"The school’s charter school application falsely claimed to have secured donations from major corporations"
....
At a school board meeting in 2013, Sanders allegedly choked Kevin Jefferson, the chief financial officer, after inquiring about a lack of funds coming into the high school. Sanders was fired and then hired back again. Then he started demanding more compensation.

“I’m going to get more money, or there ain’t going to be no school; that’s just flat out how it’s going to be,” Sanders said in a recording obtained by local reporters.
