Transfer Portal Eligibility guidelines?

[RedbirdSoxFan]

What are the guidelines for entering the Transfer Portal without having to sit a year?

1) Headcoach leaves/dismissed.
2) Grad Transfer.
3) Utilizing Covid year.
4) Have not used the one time transfer without sitting rule yet.

Are these correct, or am I way behind times?

Way behind the times. Try this…a player feels like transferring then they can transfer. Mad at the coach go ahead and transfer . Want to try your luck with the Nil world then transfer. Tired of same old chicks then transfer. … etc.

Thanks. As a fan, I hated free agency in professional sports. But at least thy had to fulfill their contract first. But here in college sports we now can leave at the end of every season.

The world of college athletics is fundamentally so vastly different with all the $$$s, pay to play, unlimited transfers, social media/streaming, mega conferences etc. it is truly hard to understand the impact of the changes. I do know that a successful team can be assembled much faster as well as a successful team can be equally dismantled faster too.

"Successful" teams. I know you agree with me...successful under today's terms - but it's dumber basketball. A diluted product. A weaker product. Not just college but pro as well. Teams are crammed/smashed together. Given an offseason, or part of an offseason, to figure it out. You see many many team flameouts, when it counts in crunch time, because they haven't spent years playing together...growing together...learning about one another...where playing together becomes second hand, second nature. Where a teammate truly becomes a teammate. A love affair with a University.

You know it's interesting, but it's really the kids who are missing out...the kids who are being cheated. Yeah they have more money and much more program swag - training, first class travel, facilities, gourmet food, video on anybody in an instant...and teams of people working on their collective and individual "image" to boost their reach.

What a shame. It doesn't apply to everyone, but I think you've got kids who never develop one single meaningful relationship in their transferring travels. That's the dividend, man. Those relationships and the life education that comes along with the whole process...which is designed to be passed on from generation to generation. A part of your heritage...in your own family!

We're watching a beautiful thing fade away. All in the name of money. (starting with the networks and NCAA....and the people behind them) Money's good, man. But...not quite like this.

Not sure where to put "guys in the portal we should get after", but former Ball State big man Peyton Sparks, who transferred to Indiana, is in the portal looking for more PT. I think he'd help. Listed at 6'10, 258 on IU roster!

Another guy who might interest us - 6'7 220 lb Elijah Jones, in the portal from UW-Green Bay. From South Holland/Marian Catholic HS, played at John Logan JC. Started for UWGB this year, 8 ppg and 7 rebounds per game.

All that. Plus:

- Going where the money is
- Prestige of playing at a P5 or otherwise "better" school
- Other coaches/admins being in your ear and selling you all kinds of on- and off-the-record incentives
- It's trendy
- It feeds the ego

And a million other reasons. They've made it so easy that virtually any excuse under the sun qualifies.

I can understand the rule change about not having to sit out a year anymore, but IMHO, and I've been saying this since it started, they should only allow that once. First time you transfer, you can play right away. You transfer again, you lose a year. See if that calms some of this shit down.

Seems like the most reasonable approach. That's what I want. 1 free transfer, then after that you have to sit. Only caveat I'd add is if your coach leaves or is fired you should get to transfer for free as well

This. So much this.

This would probably help the players, too. There’s a reason why the MLB union never pushed for universal free agency for all every year. It’s a bad idea to flood the market with talent. The ideal scenario has just the right amount of players available in a given year, rather than this free-for-all into which the portal has devolved.

I'm a bit of a Pepperdine fan (my wife's alma mater) and they just lost their two best players (Mallette to 'Bama and Ajayi to Gonzaga). Mid-majors are dead....
