The way the current transfer rule is laid out, a student who wants to transfer must sit out one academic year, meaning he or she must be enrolled at the university they wish to transfer to. Gebbia was released from scholarship on that Tuesday, one day after enrollment at Nebraska and other semesterly schools closed, meaning he could not enroll. If he wanted to go to one of the semesterly schools, he would have to enroll in the spring at that school and sit out for the spring and next fall seasons. He would then be ineligible for two football seasons and he would lose a year of eligibility.
This is where quarterly schools enter the conversation. Quarterly schools are set up on a quarters basis as opposed to semesters and their enrollment deadline is later in the year. This means he would only have to sit out the standard one year that every transfer must sit out. There are six quarters schools that have Division I FBS programs:
Louisiana Tech, Northwestern, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford and UCLA.
What this example brings to light is a
fundamentally unfair rule that allows those six programs to have an advantage over all other schools. These schools can cater to players who want to transfer late in the process. When a player wants out late, they face either sitting on the bench for a year and transferring at the end of the year, or picking one of those six schools.

It also cripples attendance at the end of the season as well.

It can. But it can also pop its ugly head up. We start later, today was the first day of class (some of those other schools start even later). But we also end the quarter and grading session before thanksgiving break, which can rule players ineligible for a CCG if they were not getting their grades done. The finals fall before the season ends, which would be a game week. But as far as the early season, it can be a perk.
That's laughable.
For one thing, athletic departments can usually work magic to get late registrations done when needed.
For another, you'd have the same problem with any semester school whose registration deadline was one day after another's. It's just a matter of degree.

I am ok with giving you the advantage. Go get it!
the next phase of realignment is on the horizon....
one's head is in the sand if they don't see how this all plays out.....
This subject is much ado about nothing.
Disadvantge because of grades, how many players has Tech lost before the end of season. We lost half starting defense before the Championship Marshall game

Just how do you see it playing out? This is how I see it happening. I don't expect to see any more G5 programs getting magic tickets to the P5 promised land. If anything, I can see a few current P5 programs getting booted out of their respective conferences. When realignment is finished at the P5 level, there will be little difference between any of the G5 conferences. We'll all basically be playing Division I-AA football.
I don't think it is an advantage. Tech always has players out at the end of the year because of grades.
It also puts us at a disadvantage if we have half a dozen starters not make the grade and become ineligible for the conference championship game against Marshall...
