About transferring
( Particularly reflecting on players who are transferring due to playing time reasons. Of which there is no guarantee they would for sure get better playing time elsewhere, because the grass isn't always greener over there...)
Think it would be a reasonable guess
if there was a rule in place that impacted some of their playing time eligibility that may reduce the amount of players that are transferring.
If players had to sit out an amount of time they may transfer less.
That would be a natural attrition at reducing the amount of transfers.
Why do we want to limit a players ability to improve their situation, find the best fit athletically and academically, insure that they are treated fairly, etc
Student athletes are in a weird position where they are the engine, the product, and the beneficiary of the industry.....for too long they had to make a decision at a very young age, and were pretty bound to that decision....now that they finally have some power and control, I'd like to see them hang onto it
