I don’t know what’s worse. That only four were denied or over 70 still in limbo[/quote]
How many of these guys do they have? How ever many they have is apparently not enough.[/quote]
Things are a little tight in Indy these. A few billions dollars doesn't go as far as it used to.[/quote]
Hire 15 people with common sense and randomly assign them 23 schools each. Pull a guy with a light caseload to help others who are swamped. It's really not tough. I can't imagine reading through waivers is like reading through the Mueller Report. How long can it really take?[/quote]
So you want one person making the final decision on all these cases? That doesn't seem efficient or practical at all. You are also putting alot of faith into finding people with common sense....that may not be as easy as you think. It seems like most cases should be common sense because, in our case with Dunn, it should be common sense. However, not every case is as cut and dry as ours appears to be. And I think you do want them to do a thorough reading and have a solid understanding of each case, because every case is different....the last thing you want is to have hundreds of kids transferring every year and becoming immediately eligible just because.[/quote]
Hundreds of kids are transferring every year regardless. I don't see any harm allowing everyone 1 transfer. No mid-season crap. You leave a school one year you can play the next year but thats it. 5 minutes into the 1st game of your college career or after 3 years because you graduated early. Its the wild west now I don't see how it would be any worse when kids and coaches both know there is only one bullet for a kid to use.[/quote]
So what you are saying is that if a kid transfers mid year, he would essentially lose a 1/2yr of eligibility in exchange for not having to sit out an entire year? So he transfers to his new school for the 2nd semester, cannot play in that 2nd semester, but is immediately eligible from day 1 the following season? I don't think that's necessarily a terrible idea.
But as you alluded to, if a kid only plays 5 minutes in one game, should that count as a year of eligibility used?[/quote]
Forewarned I've been mentioning a drastic overhaul allowing more transfer freedom for awhile but the NCAA hasn't called me so its still fluid.
In Steere's case I would say he used his 'free' transfer and can play the following year at SJU without missing the first semester.
Now as I'm typing this. Dunn would be interesting case. He would have already transferred but wouldn't have sat out in my plan. However when his coach was fired now that presents a dilemma with the free transfer being used already.[/quote]
Here's my simple solution to everything. If you are an undergrad and want to transfer, you have every right to do so. You are permitted to transfer to any school that you choose, and your prior school and/or conference has no say in that decision whatsoever (meaning Cleveland State could not block Dunn from playing here, or you would be permitted to transfer to a different school in the same conference). But in exchange for that, you must sit out an entire calendar year from the last day you were enrolled at your previous institution. And there are zero exceptions to this. There are no such things as applying for a hardship waiver or anything like that. You transfer, you sit. Period. Students who have already graduated and still have eligibility remaining will be able to transfer to any school they want, and will not have to sit a year (so nothing changes for them).
There are always going to be those scenarios where you would not want to make a player sit, such as a fired coach, but the NCAA absolutely cannot fall into the trap of allowing those exceptions to the rules. It may sound harsh, but they need to create a clear black or white set of rules.
