Having a higher turnover equates to less people graduating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullwark Posted April 18, 2004 Group: Member Topic Count: 483 Content Count: 2,923 Reputation: 29 Days Won: 1 Joined: 07/12/2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 Coaches will see such a development as manna from hoop heaven. The coaches, see the "5/8 rule" as arbitrary and restrictive. They argue that another new NCAA rule, commonly known as "incentives/disincentives," will do more deftly what the "5/8 rule" was designed to accomplish: spur the recruitment of more able students, thereby leading to fewer transfers and better graduation rates.Supporters of the "5/8 rule" say the "incentives/disincentives" rule must be tested for a few years (it goes into effect in the 2004-2005 academic year) before deciding the "5/8" is redundant and therefore unnecessary.Apparently, the prevailing view is the coaches'."There's been more momentum over the last six weeks to rescind rather than wait," said Steve Mallonee, a rules interpreter for the NCAA.College officials have come to believe that the "5/8 rule" may not affect academic performance or graduation rates. Furthermore, the "5/8" is seen as reducing the number of transfers, who give college basketball a nomadic flavor. But are transfers necessarily a hindrance to good academic work?

Guest BasketBull. Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 So if they rewrite the rules, will that affect USF this year?1) We signed five. But if the rule is changed, can we sign more?2) If it is not changed, how long until we are cleared of the restrictions?3) I haven't looked, but are we going to have a full roster as it is?Is it too much to ask for a complete team?

We're one sorry season and one sorrier recruiting class into this nightmare. The hole is becoming too deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
