NCAA passes new transfer and redshirt rules

[Baron]

I agree there needs to be rule, but there will always be people trying to find ways around it. At the end of the day if a kid wants out then he will leave and he won’t really need any motivation from folks elsewhere. 

I'm not worried about the kids that want to transfer on their own accord. I'm worried about coaches unduly influencing signed players. If this rule goes into effect as is, you're opening Pandorra's Box.

You need to find the GIF where he punches Dale Hansen in the arm several times.

I can maybe see this being an issue if a kid signs and have some buyer’s remorse.

My problem with the transfer rule is this, how can you keep a coach from recruiting a player signed to another school without a tampering rule in place?

Well, the way I read it is that a player would still have to decide on transferring first.  After that, his name goes into a database which is made available to other coaches after a waiting period.  So coaches still can't contact any kid signed with another team.  They technically have to wait until the name pops up in the DB.  I think that's correct.

That's how I understand it also. Hands off until you appear in the DB.
