tOSU Transfer Portal Recruiting Discussion

Is that true? How in the hell is that enforceable after all that has been sued out of the NCAA's hands?


The SEC's rules restrict intraconference transfer movement in football to athletes who enter during the NCAA's winter transfer portal window, which ran from Dec. 4 to Jan. 2. SEC players who enter outside those dates – unless they did so via the NCAA's exemptions for postseason play or a head coaching change — would not be eligible for the upcoming season if they chose to transfer to another school within the league.

It's enforceable because it is an SEC rule, not NCAA.

I don't know.... it seems like Downs was super close to transferring to UGA, and a SEC rule didn't seem to be an obstacle.

Downs didn’t transfer during the Winter transfer period. He transferred during the 30 day period after his head coach (Saban) departed. Like the article said, that’s an exception in the SEC rules. Nothing new nor any special treatment to see here.

Move along!

Well what makes the SEC capable of having rules, but not the NCAA? Can't somebody just sue the SEC for whatever they sued the NCAA for and strip them of power as well?
I think the SEC programs agreed to the rules, and voted on the Commissioner to enforce them. At least thats what I’m led to believe. Those can feel free to correct me if I’m incorrect
