You are supposed to only get 1 "free" transfer without sitting out a year, unless you are a grad transfer or have "special circumstances". Seems the NCAA is pretty lenient in a lot of cases, they might as well just get rid of the rule at this point instead of selectively enforcing it.

This lawsuit seems to stem from Cincinnati basketball though, trying to get a multi year transfer who the NCAA ruled not eligible this season to be able to play.
 
Seems the work around most kids are using is they are transferring (again) for "mental health"

Bla bla bla terrible experience I was stressed there didnt feel safe etc.......

I don't think players are allowed to transfer and play for that team within the same season. THAT rule is also removed with this.

THAT rule should stand in the end. But they should just get rid of the "1 free transfer' rule, since they just selectively enforce it anyway

That rule is currently not in place for 14 days, which spans a good chunk of the bowl season. Which could make things VERY interesting for players who have already transferred to new teams and were originally planning to wait until next season but now no longer have to.
 
How long will it take before the ncaa gets a restraining order to restrain the temp. restraining order?
Or, will they attempt to do that?
 
This is getting crazy. With states passing laws saying the NCAA can't do things with NIL, and now the federal courts saying the NCAA can't put reasonable limits on transfers, what's to keep them from attacking the 85 scholarship limit, or the rule that you have 4 years of eligibility, or that you can't play more than 4 games and still redshirt.

I'll be interested to see if this stands. Private organizations' rules are most often respected by the courts who don't want to end up running things like college football or basketball by judicial fiat.

I'd argue all those things are pointless and shouldn't exist; like the NCAA. They've been trying to hold onto this concept of amature sports for too long and it's catching up to the NCAA. Trying to enforce rules meant to try and keep Eastern Michigan on the same playing field as Alabama was, and will always be, stupid. These are the rules that are being challenged and going away (because now too much money is involved) and what we'll be left with is a few power conferences competing in their own league and the smaller schools will be left with the leftovers.

Is this even possible in most cases? How many of these guys are actually enrolled at their new schools already? There's that hurdle too, it's not like pro sports where you just get free movement, there's that admissions issue here.

Not only that but one thing to keep in mind is that if the NCAA wins the case, they can or probably can enforce the rule against any violations that happen in the next 14 days. It would be a gamble to play one of these players.

You can't have a sport without rules. They aren't pointless. You can argue that you should have other divisions, etc., but any sport has to have rules. One team can't h ave 85 scholarship players and another 125. Don't you suppose the power conferences you refer to will have their own rules?

Yea that and it's pretty hard for a football player to just come in to a totally new team and learn and execute a totally new system and playbook properly in a couple of weeks.

I could see it with Basketball and other sports, but not with football.

CFB used to exist with unlimited scholarships. It was entirely based on the school's ability to cover the costs of those scholarships. In fact, for the majority of CFB history (until 1973) there were no scholarship limits. Limiting scholarships was something the NCAA did to try and keep a level playing field. Which was stupid. Any rule that exists to try and make universities equal should be scrapped immediately (most are being thrown out by courts). I'm not saying there shouldn't be ANY rules but the rules that exist should be basic; IE eligibility of athletes. You can't have players playing CFB for 20 years. A good, clean, example of a good basic rule.

Fast forward 15 years and you'll be able to buy stock in college athletic teams. They may say they're in conferences but it will be more along the lines of consortiums.
 
You watch games this past season and guys have been playing for 6-7 years. That more than the average NFL career. Pussies got a "covid" year. Just a microcosm of what a weak society we have. Whine, cry when you don't get your way and take your ball and go home. Or, in this case take your ball and transfer 3-4 times.
