Oso planning to go pro
“The aspiration is to be featured, and usually featured at a higher level.”
Wow. I'm one of those old guys who like the idea of forcing the kids to sit out a year when they transfer, because I think it is better for the college game and not a real hardship on the players who don't lose any eligibility and get an extra year of schooling. That said, I liked the grad transfer rule because it rewarded kids who graduated. I would hate to see them amend the rule like this.

That said, I liked the grad transfer rule because it rewarded kids who graduated. I would hate to see them amend the rule like this. It would be better if they forced the schools to grant two years of grad school (if the student wanted it) but didn't charge the second non-playing year against the allotment of 13 scholarships. That would mitigate the issue somewhat and be a positive for a real student. But probably the best thing is to leave it as it is.
Yep, it's a travesty and a power grab, as well as a solution looking for a problem.
I wonder...will some schools try to streamline graduate programs. Maybe create grad degrees that are 27-36 credits, enough so that three relatively simple semesters starting in summer gets them in and out with a grad degree.
1. I believe the sit out a year rule for traditional transfers works to the players benefit and is fair to the original school attended. So I have always been for it. 2. I thought the grad transfer rule was also fair, in that the player fulfilled his obligation and gets a fresh start. It also helps the school he goes to in that it provides a quick fix while allowing the regular recruiting and roster management to continue. The proposed new rule benefits neither party.
Just a flip side. Under current rules a kid doesn't have to attend class or even have a grade to be eligible the 2nd semester since he has already graduated.
#FakeNews #Lies1) Couldn't abandon taking classes in the spring semester and still play, unless the school colluded. 2) Would bang the APR
They benefit the student-first athlete who wants to earn a graduate degree.
The kid who wants to earn the degree will earn the degree; unless what your saying is that the scholarship is good for two years so that the student athlete can actually earn the degree in certain majors. Then I would tend to agree with you. However, I think it should work the same way things do for undergrads in that those who are finishing their degree but have used up the eligibility are not in included in the scholarship count.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
You're vs. yourYes - what I'm saying is that if an SA wants to get a grad degree, too bad now - he'll be off scholarship after one year. Under this proposal, he'd have two years to get the grad degree, on scholarship.I'm unfamiliar with your last comments. If a kid has used up his eligibility, he ain't on no athletic scholarship.
I've never liked that many (most?) grad transfers leave without getting a graduate degree.I don't think this is a way to fix that problem.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
