I have often wondered how these rules changes are adopted, There are something close to 350 Division 1 basketball schools. The P5s have to compose a distinct minority. How "democratic" is the voting process? Is there a Committee that is stacked with P5 schools? If it's "one vote for each school," the non-P5s should be able to block any change that is harmful to them. On this, we are not talking about a rules change.........such as moving the 3 point line from 19'-9" to 21'-00." THAT can understandably be done by a Rules Committee. But what we are talking about here is a STRUCTURAL change to the landscape of Division 1, which is a decision that should not be left to the opinions of a few Anointed Ones.

Maybe one of these 6'9" freshman we have coming next fall were overlooked by a P5 or they didn't think he was quite ready. Then he becomes MVC FOY and suddenly Illinois or Northwestern or Purdue needs a big body player. *Yoink* Nothing can be done about it.

I know the argument is coaches leave and the players are stuck and have to sit out a year. And I get that. Then put a disclaimer on it that the coach has to have left that season then you are immediately eligible. But to make it just a global rule whenever is bad bad news.

I like this idea, but why not take it one step further and just say transfers will be considered on a case-by-case basis? If a kid has legitimate problems with his living situation on campus, coach leaves, has a personal situation that forces him to move closer to home, etc. those would be good reasons for leaving a program and not having to sit out a year. However, if a guy just wants to leave because a P5 came calling, he should have to sit out a year. IMO this is also just a good way to hold kids accountable and instill good values.

I think there is already an appeal process for this kind of thing, so maybe what I'm proposing is already the case I'm not sure.

NCAA hides behind "doing what's best for the kids", while counting their billions in exploitation dollars.
