Student athletes are 1 step closer to actually being treated like adults

 

Because guess what,  they are ADULTS not CHILDREN

 

adults are allowed to find a better offer and leave for better offers if the situation is right but most people want to protect the crooked NCAA attempts to exploit players when the NCAA does absolutely nothing for the sport

Snuck in towards the end (third paragraph from the end), is information that could negate the relaxed transfer rules. Overall, though, I am in support of these new rules, as they reflect, at least in the major sports, the true situation of athletes playing sports in college.

I myself have never supported restrictions on a person's ability to find another employer, except in certain critical situations (such as national security interest, etc.). These new rules, overall, provide the athlete with an ability to move on from situations not deemed in their best interest.

NCAA does absolutely nothing for the sport?  Hah that's laughable.  

 

I like the new rules.  I've never thought there should be restrictions on where a kid should go.  I do believe they should still have to sit a year if they transfer.

The NCAA is supposed to be a enforcement agency to protect the integrity of the sport

 

Yet so many times they are more corrupt then the schools they supposed to enforce

If they transfer during the season then yes they should sit the current season out but I see no reason why they should sit out if they transfer during the off-season

That's how it should be 

 

After all these athletes are adults and should be treated that way, if coaches can jump from team to team i have no issue with the players having the ability to do the same

What does that have anything to do with this topic? 

 

 

I don't have a issue with IMG because players transfer there

 

I have a issue with IMG because they receive state funding while publics are given nothing

Actually, public school districts do receive some state funding based on population statistics. That does not negate the scandal of IMG receiving state funding. It should not, period!

Here is what I think it should be

 

1. no restriction on what school you transfer to

2. sit out a year unless you transfer down, hardship or the head coach leaves

 

That i can agree with 

 

If the coach leaves or is fired then i feel the players should have the ability to go elsewhere

I would qualify what you suggest with the following: 1. If a kid wants to transfer because the staff that recruited him decides to leave on its own volition, then that kid should not have to sit out a year. The only restriction I would place on him is that he can't follow his old coaching staff. Likewise, if a staff decides to leave they should not be allowed to take their recruits with them. Now if the separation is not voluntary, I would allow players to follow their old staff to a new school.

minor league in football would kill football for me assuming there was no more NCAA.  It would be like the D league in the NBA.  Anyone watch the D league?

I watch high school and college football.  I watch very little NFL.

They wouldn't have to get rid of college football in order to form a minor league 

 

If you take players who are free agents, didn't make college offers (or chose the offers weren't good enough for them)  and a few players who want to bypass the college system you could have a minor league without directly effecting the college game 

 

After all isn't college football more about school tradition then the players???

don't we have minor league football?  It's called JUCO

Minor league for college

 

But there currently isn't minor league that I've heard of for pro football 

 

Baseball has 3 different development leagues

 

Hockey has a development league 

 

Basketball has a development league 

 

 

Why can't football have one as well, they would have plenty of players who are just sitting with no opportunities to play that would be happy to join

If you had a viable minor league system, with wages for the players that would at least allow for subsistence, many players who want to play pro would opt for that. But that does not mean the end of college football, just a loss of a yet to be determined percentage of kids that would opt for the minor league system instead.

What would be better for a kid? It all depends on individual circumstances and talents. For a very talented kid who wanted to play pro football but had little interest in academic pursuits,  the answer would probably be the minor league as long as he felt there was a viable path from there to the pros. For another kid, who was unsure of whether he would make the pros, or who wanted to hedge his bets, then college would still be the preferred option.

There are tons of players who don't even get a chance to keep playing football so if colleges lose a few (or a lot)  there are still players they can fill those holes with 

 

End of day this does create more opportunities to keep playing

    • Agree. Everything could be avoided if they did what i said. Consolidate classes down to 4, and force teams who have a set number of transfers participate in an open division. Come up with a number. 5 transfers per year. Whatever number seems right. That way the all star transfer factories can duke it out for one title, and the other 4 playoff brackets will at least be a respectable.    If they create the open division with 7-8 classes next year, every bracket is gonna be beyond embarrassing and make Florida the mockery of the country. You will have glorified 2nd round losers being called state champions 
    • I hope it grows too. To about 500 members! Some of the SSAA teams were or would be playoff teams in FHSAA.  You are correct, they have zero chance of winning a championship in FHSAA.  Some are figured that out. About 400 or so need to come to the same conclusion. 
    • Most Manatee die hards, consider the 1993 title game against Southridge, a nightmare game where anything that could go wrong did in fact do that. I want to say Southridge had 2 kickoff returns for TDs, 1 Punt return for a TD, at least 1 (possibly 2 INTs returned for a TD), I believe there was also a hail Mary at half for a TD. The 1984 19-14 playoff loss to Lakeland, probably burns in die hards guts than the 1993 contest. Manatee was a heavy favorite going into that game, but 2 turnovers inside the Lakeland 10 proved ultimately to be Manatees undoing and denied Manatee any chance at back to back titles
    • I think they are small schools.    Marathon - about 700 (grades 6-12) Coral Shores - under 800 Key West - about 1,300
    • I'm always amazed there are enough kids to support three keys high schools: Key West, Coral Shores and Marathon high schools.
