The transfer epidemic is hurting our sport. Kudos to the NCAA for finally taking action and ending this nonsense. No place for it in CBB.

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein  2h2 hours ago
Also from the NCAA: graduate transfers will still have immediate eligibility for next season, but waivers are currently done. Thank God!

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein  2h2 hours ago
Best news I've gotten today: the NCAA will no longer grant immediate eligibility for four-year transfers starting during the 15-16 season.

I don't get it.  Wasn't that already the rule?  If you had graduated but still had eligibility left you could transfer and play immediately given that you transferred to a school to pursue a degree in something that was not offered at the current school?  So what's the new rule that he is so happy about?

Waivers for players who haven't graduated are done.  No more I need to be closer to home because my Aunt is sick, etc.

i.e. - Bad for Burton

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

The last I had heard, Lomomba was headed to Cleveland State.  Any idea how that ended up being Providence?  Did he transfer?

Yes. Transfered from Cleveland State

I am 100% certain that the reason Burton transferred is because his "reason to come home" has passed on. So no. Not bad for Burton.

Bad for Burton in that he won't get a hardship waver.  Otherwise, I completely understand why he transferred.  It's not one or the other.  Don't pretend he wasn't also hoping for a waiver.

[GooooMarquette]

Agreed.  If you can no longer get a waiver to move home because a family member is sick, you certainly shouldn't be able to get a waiver to move away from home once said family member has died.

Dude, you have some of the weirdest, most random GIFs.  Not sayin it's a bad thing but any method to the madness?

K State dismisses Soph G Marcus Foster and Fre G Tre Harris.  Soph G Jevon Thomas transferring.

By Josh Smith logic, sure.  The NCAA pulled that one out of their butts though.

Stanford Robinson is transferring out of Indiana, his high school coach confirms to Scout.

They were over signed by 2 and still aggressively recruiting. More Creaning to come.

[NavinRJohnson]

Yep. Two more likely have to go if the are to sign Thomas Bryant for whom they apparently  now lead. Was headed to Syracuse before their problems.

Players dismissed from their previous team should be immediately eligible.  The article suggests they are not, that is very unfair.

[wadesworld]

So they should be rewarded for misbehaving, not following team rules, not remaining eligible, etc.?  Disagreed.

[PGsHeroes32]

We should give ISU some karma and snag grad transfer Niang!!!

[forgetful]

There is no guarantee they did anything wrong.  You can be dismissed arbitrarily.  Maybe they forgot to high-five a teammate too many times.  We do not know what the team rules were.

The point is that you just provided an incentive for a player to break team rules if they want to transfer.  That isn't a good idea.

Arizona State's Connor MacDougall will transfer, source told @CBSSports. Three years of eligibility remaining.

[Dawson Rental]

Creaning should lead to immediate eligibility.  Any kid who loses his scholarship due to being recruited over and having his scholarship terminated shouldn't have to send a year sitting out.  Those not remaining eligible could hardly change that situation by transferring, except maybe to a JUCO if they were freshmen.
