Are these universities or professional athletic organizations.  If a kid is allowed into the school, he or she should be able to play for that school.  Or we should just ignore the sham that they are there for the academics.

It would open up a whole new level of guerilla recruiting that would only make the strong stronger ...

Not really.  Spring reports and spring game as well.

One of the reasons this is in place is to deter a student athlete from transferring in and out of departments annually as that makes it more difficult to complete a degree. On the surface, a student athlete who accepts a scholarship cross country, then decides he wants to come back home for his junior and senior year at a different institution seems like a no-brainier to allow it. But there will be student-athletes and institutions who would take advantage of it. Imagine if Charlie Strong goes to Greg Ward and says, "transfer to Texas and you'll be the starter," and that player has no penalty for leaving his institution and opting out of his scholarship. Then the next year Stoops and Oklahoma say the same thing. It would be chaos.

Exactly. Non-Powerhouse programs would essentially become farm teams for major programs.

So I saw AW today at the Huddle event for us students and he wasn't wearing a boot or anything. Was walking pretty normally actually.

BS

It is in place because the schools have a bunch of cheap labor that they make billions off of and they want to control it.  Coaches move all the time and screw up the lives of the students, and you feel the need to "protect" them by forcing them to stay in screwed up situations?

Please.

He only said that was one of the reasons and I agree, a weak one .... so go ahead and address the major reason presented that it should never be done .... which defies your "cheap labor that they make billions off of" logic.

Wish I could have gotten rewarded by my college job as "cheaply".

Plus, all the gear and babes.
