In reality, a lot of big school guys who do not get much playing time would love the opportunity to start for a MAC team without having to sit out a year. I think overall it is positive for mid majors.

I agree with this. There are far more bench ridden decent players in P5s than there are G5 players that can get significant playing time in the P5s. However, are enough willing to xfer to the MAC?

What I worry more about is mass exodus after Fr/So years from everywhere to everywhere. Will this rule result in teams made up of half or more xfers? It will be interesting to watch this play out.

It would suck to redshirt a kid and have him xfer after that year.............ie..... we invest a year and they bolt w/o penalty. Here is my not well thought out idea.............For this I would say they owe one year. Either stay with the team they redshirted with for 1 year or lose one year if they xfer. Once they 'repay' that redshirt year, they are back on normal ground.

This is such a crock, especially for football. Think about this ..

Player enters college in January so he can participate in spring football and summer conditioning. Player then gets four games to 'showcase' himself without losing a year of eligibility.

Then, following off-season conditioning and another tour of spring football, he thinks now it is time to transfer.

Personally, the rules have been bent enough (especially for football) that the NCAA should stick to its "student" guns and make these kids sit a year before they play.

Understand, the player above if he has been doing his academic work should be winding up his sophomore calendar. Two years after transferring (but now a FB sophomore) he graduates and can freely transfer again still with two years of eligibility remaining for football.

What a bunch of BS ...

Meanwhile, the schools that do the heavy lifting in terms of graduation and playing time, in the middle, get short-changed coming and going.
