I accept your concession

Freedoms are not binary, nor are they without consequences.

No, I wouldn't. I was an NCAA athlete, and I did transfer once. (It wasn't for playing time as I was in an individual sport) It has a major down side for the athlete and for the teams that are destabilized. It has negative effects for the university, the fan base, team culture, and many other things. I've lived it. I had great success at my second university but I still wonder if it was worth all of the downsides. I think there should be some freedom to move around, but also that there should be limits placed on that ability.

At this point you aren't trying to understand anything written so why would we continue the discussion.

We're talking about the college system here, not professional.

The issue is with repeated transfers and the obvious "shopping" for playing time. A single transfer seems reasonable but what is being done now is purely based on instant gratification and essentially eliminates the ideals of team, institution, and community. The current system promotes and reward ideas and strategies that are counter to the values that used to be associated with scholastic athletics. If kids want a "free for all" then they should be able to have that, but not associated with universities. Collegiate athletics should continue to require and emphasize academics to improve the lives of student athletes far beyond their time on the field/court.

They should be allowed to switch schools, but also should not be eligible to play right away beyond the first transfer. This phenomena of shopping around for playing time is absurd and needs to stop.

So amazing!!! Such a celebration for women athletes!

Tis a burden you bear with such dignity…

I am 0% surprised that you didn’t get it.

There are "mistakes" and then there are completely dumb idiot moves (done intentionally and incompetently) that should not only be punished but mocked as well. Maybe "the help he needs" is to be mocked and derided for doing stupid things, which is the case for pretty much all of us that weren't 5* athletes who were worshiped and given preferential treatment for our entire lives... We're helping.

Which becomes a race to the bottom in academic standards just to get athletes. As long as the teams are affiliated with colleges, some academic requirements should be maintained.

It would be pretty difficult to be advancing towards a degree with a transfer every year. Collegiate athletics isn't supposed to be the same thing as club sport programs.

Hope Rhule cuts the cord quickly to eliminate the distraction. Wasted talent.

Nobody said he wasn't a good coach, but if he were equally skilled as a coach, but from central Wyoming, what are the odds he'd have been hired at Nebraska?

Seems like Wager was hired for his Texas connections more than his coaching acumen.

Potential downside of more tackling in practice.

S&C fail. "a$$ moves mass" We're buggered... ...again.

Duval must be some sort of evil wizard to have that much control over making players stiff and slow footed.

I vote for this.

Many of them wouldn't have much collegiate performance to evaluate, hence the transfer.

With the current state of NIL and the transfer portal, we may still see DR in Husker red at some point in the future.

So, he ran 10.88 with a hip injury... Impressive.

I'm pretty sure this kid is actually Spider Man.

Well, then, this might work out pretty well for my daughters (swimmers). Should increase the # of female athletic scholarships for Title IX compliance! Woo hoo!
