Big East Intra-transfer rule eliminated
- Thread starter RedStormNC
- Start date
It's a good question I assume it is without penalty assuming it conforms to the NCAA rule, meaning you get 1 free transfer and everytime after that it will require you to sit a year.
Since all the major conferences got rid of the penalty I assume the BE is just conforming to them and the NCAA.

If they have to sit out a year, instead of two years, then it's fine. If they can transfer within the conference and be immediately eligible the following year, then I'm no fan of the new rule.

BTW-Here is a ESPN article from several days ago, mind you it is about football but it can apply too basketball as well, about what we all know is going on in terms of the transfer portal and tampering/cheating. And now with the new NCAA 1 time free transfer rule and all the major conferences dropping their intra-conference transfer rules/penalties to conform with the NCAA it will literally be the Wild West. You could literally see an assistant coach winking and nodding at a kid after a game. Here is a quote from UNC Football HC Mack Brown:

"You go shake the great tight end's hand. 'Hey, you look great, man. Aw, man, we should have recruited you. Wish you were here.'"Brown paused."Well," he said, "now he can be."

Was there really even a choice to be made at this point?
So the SEC which already allowed intra conference transferring now does it without penalty.

I'd rather keep good players in conference than lose them to others.
Anyone have any insight on how frequent this has happened in the bigger conferences that have allowed it already?
you just had to put that out there in the universe.... that would be a tough one to swallow.... as much as it would hurt, would still side with the player if he thinks a move is best for his career.youMainMan post=434717 said:
All we can do is trust we have the right leaders in place.. (this offseason exodus aside)... i trust our coaches to prove that SJU is the right place for the right players.
I have mixed feelings about this. There has seemed to be a real brotherhood among the coaches in the Big East, especially since it went to a 10 team league. I feel like it's actually helped the conference as a whole. Unfortunately, this has the ability to smash a lot of that. It doesn't even have to be a kid transferring, but imagine finding out a coach you thought you were close with is sniffing around for one of your players.

For the coaches it seems like a lot more to deal with, but I think fans and especially TV folks would enjoy some disdain among coaches and teams.
You could also argue once the other conferences decided to drop the restriction and any penalty on intra-conference transferring it really put the BE at a potential competitive disadvantage with some kids.
Let's be honest the way the transfer market/portal is going there is a high probability that a kid will transfer at some point in his college tenure. Kids probably have that in the back of their minds now as early as their commitment and signing with their initial school. If they feel that the BE won't give them the opportunity to transfer to another BE school (especially if other BE schools were involved in his recruitment and he liked them before he chose someone else) perhaps he goes to another school in a different conference.
Just a thought.
