I don't like the transfer portal for undergrads. If it was up to me, all undergrads would always be required to sit a year if you transferred - no exceptions.
I think that this is fast approaching a 'free agency' type of environment in college sports. When you make exceptions, you open the door.
That's harsh for the athletes, I know, and I wish that there was a way to fairly govern it but I just don't see it happening.
Agree 100%. If you haven't graduated then you sit a year....And grad transfers have to transfer out of conference.
These undergrad transfers have been very subjective per case and some make little sense. The NCAA said they are going to make it harder going forward to make a transfer eligible the first year...We'll see how that goes.
