Yes, Exactly.

If you're on your 3rd school and you're a junior-senior? Just try to land somewhere like Stanford or Northwestern for a year for grad school. Even if you don't play at least you could come out with an advanced degree from a top flight university.

I would doubt after that many transfers anyone would be close to graduating, let alone survive grad school at places like Stanford or Northwestern.

Exactly! How tf are these people transferring credits is what want to know. I had about 10 years off from first starting my BA to when I finished and had to end up taking more than a whole extra year because credits wouldn't transfer. Then I got accepted to Georgetown for grad school but I would have had to take an extra semester of their core classes along with my MS. JT Daniel's should just be starting a new degree by my calculations

Doubtful. These things are going to be hard to enforce because most of the time you aren't going to get concrete proof of it. Of course it's absolutely going on, but being able to absolutely prove it in most cases is the difficult part.

Would Jake Dickert think it's a sin to have his agent send out feelers for another job if he was unhappy with the one he was at? Would it be bad if his agent called him up and said someone from a different school had reached out to see if he might be interested? Does any of that ruin the sport?

Not trying to be a dick to you, just pointing out the hypocrisy in people wanting to find a way to tie these damn kids to a school like they used to argument.

to your point something is brewing in terms of the NCAA… they appointed former Mass Gov Charlie Baker as the next president… a clear shift towards the political and all the gamesmanship that comes from that…

There are reasons you can't do that in sports. Competitive balance really isn't a thing in most fields.

We really need to stop pretending like sports is any other job. There are contracts and collective bargaining and salary caps in basically all professional sports leagues for a reason

Stick with college football then. Coaches have contracts and tamper with them all the livelong day.

Why is it "better for the sport" that the coaches can run a program anyway they want to and a kid can't leave ("there should be restrictions on transfers") but a coach can leave anytime he gets a better offer and pays no price for running a program that kids don't want to be a part of?

I say it's bringing the real world into college football by putting the onus on coaches to run a program that people want to be a part of if that be money, culture or any mix of the two.
