Looks like athletes will be able to transfer freely soon

I know there was talk of this again this year. Letting student athletes transfer from anywhere to anywhere, anytime and be immediately eligible just doesn't sit right. I still am in the camp that I do not want NDSU to be a developmental program that any top FBS team can come in and poach our players. You want to see the Give a Shit Factor of a fanbase tank just start having the best players leaving the team on a regular basis. If you earn a degree you earn the right to transfer beyond that still not a fan of this possibility.

I don't give money to teammakers to be a developmental program for power 5 schools.

I can agree with this.

Yep. Schools and staff and alumni invest way too much into players for them to pick up and leave as though we are just a farm system.

This is why the Jabril transfer bothers me so much.

Meh, there actually exists a potential that we start getting 3 years of amazing production from even more talented guys coming here if this really were to become a trend. Consider it similar to how we attract great coaches.

So maybe a calling card if you will for some possibly talented kids in say the Jabril Cox realm that could see coming to NDSU till they grad transfer and then try to get into a good P5 program? Sounds worse when I type it out but I think I see what you are getting at.

I don’t like it.

Jabril graduated though which means that even after redshirting he plays for several years for NDSU. That doesn’t bother me so much. My issue is if they let guys do this earlier. Imagine us losing Trey Lance right now to a fbs. Imo that would be very wrong. I think it would happen enough to hurt and would turn teams like NDSU into farm system. Could we end up with other teams players? Yes, but that is a lot of instability. I want us to develop and play our own recruits.

This is the very change the NCAA has on the table though right? A player can make a transfer once and play immediately without having graduated from the first institution. Am I right? Is that one still alive and coming to a vote?

Yes, that is what I have read. There is no limitation on what year the transfer occurs. There is just one transfer allowed without penalty. Seems highly likely this will get approved since only basketball, football and hockey don't allow this. Sorry but I just think this is the beginning of the end of true college sports.

All college programs are just farm systems already.
