The school gives these kids a ton of free stuff (including education), what if there was something school could get back in return if the student transfers? The student do get a little bit money, fee clothes, education, travel, facilities etc, but I have no clue what they could possibly give back.

I don't buy the whole the fans, donors, yada yada are hurt. This is a sporting event. Im not personally hurt if Long plays for VT, maybe my feelings for a hot minute, but come on.

Personally- I like the 1 time transfer rule. I also am not opposed to players being allowed to transfer if the coach leaves. But, if you transfer a 2nd time without the coach leaving, you have to sit out a year. The NCAA says they are going to enforce this, but we'll see.

I agree with that rule. I would be opposed to limiting them to only 1 transfer. That isn't helping anyone especially when most of the transfers are being pushed to transfer.

I understand your point of view, but maybe this would make players give some actual thought to whether a transfer is a good idea. Right now, they are transferring for absolutely silly reasons.

I agreed with you. Just saying I would be opposed to limiting players to only transferring one time in their career. Mostly because so many aren’t really being given a real choice in the matter. “Leave and find a better fit somewhere else or get used to splinters from sitting on the bench too much”.

I don't agree with giving them a free 1 time transfer. That really means they get 2 free transfers because they also get the free grad transfer. I am good with leaving the grad transfer a freebie, but any other transfers should require sitting out so long as NIL still exists.
