The real answer also involves the fact that the NCAA now allows the granting of multi-year scholarships. If a player is not on a multi-year scholarship then they should have complete freedom to transfer wherever they want after any season with zero penalty. If a school has not committed a multi-year scholarship to the player for future seasons then they should have absolutely no say on where that player attends school and plays in any following season. Want to control a player? Then guarantee him a scholarship for the years you want to control him.
That's not necessarily applicable to McCoy's situation, but it's a non-starter to me to say that players shouldn't be able to go wherever they want if they haven't been guaranteed compensation (as it exists) for future years.
Honestly, it's still not enough for me to allow coaches to limit transfer destinations, but I can see the sit-out-a-year rule if multi-year scholarships have been guaranteed to the player. But I think that should apply to coaches, as well.

How about a rule that makes it to where a coach has to sit out a year unpaid when he changes schools?

Since we last posted here City somehow lost the league but has come back from the dead and are now in a heck of a title race with the Liverpudlians. Which, it must be said, is a way cooler demonym than Merseysiders or Scousers.
Also, from the thrashing of Chelsea this was the coolest stat I saw:
Manchester City is the first English top-flight team to score more than one goal in 15 consecutive home league matches since Tottenham Hotspur in December 1965.
I'll be back in a few months, probably, to check on things.

Should change the baseball part to read "semifinalist." Title right now makes it sound like they have to be one of the last two teams.

Why is it being accepted that Tate is transferring because of a head coaching change? It seems to me he is transferring for no reason other than that Fields is transferring to tOSU. If fleeing competition is grounds for a waiver, the floodgates are well and truly open.
In reality he's fleeing competition but the coaching change will be the argument and the basis for the decision.

Those of you acting like McCoy's situation is a more dangerous precedent than Martell's are out of your minds. You think it's a bigger threat to the status quo to approve an early enrollee's transfer prior to class registration closing at the new school than it is to approve a transfer of a third year player because the head coach changes?
McCoy's situation might affect a maximum of a half dozen players on a team. Martell's would make the entire roster of a football program free agents if the head coach leaves.
The question of whether free agency is a problem that should be stopped is a separate discussion.

My kids are 3/8 an ethnic minority and I tell them to list themselves as that.
So it seems like we're are zeroing in on 1/4 as the magical line.

Boy I just can't figure out why he seems so happy about the Big 12 doing well in his system in 2008 but fluffs the SEC every chance he gets in the more recent past.
Truly a mystery.-

Aside from the admission that the pictures are real and the possibility if they are released people might laugh at them. I see no other downside in Bezos calling them out. None.
He gets out ahead of any story, calls their bluff, and makes them defend their actions all the while still being the richest guy on the planet.
Please tell me what I'm missing?
An extra chromosome, apparently.
Although typing that out makes me feel shitty, so I apologize for comparing those with birth defects to the standard issue stupid of posters who should know better.

Yeah, at this point I think you just do what Reese asks for as long as it's at all feasible. The man just graduated a senior class who won the national championship every year of their college career.

Ironically, in the first game of the first season I've had hope for the team in a while I'll actually be cheering for the opponent. One of the Northwestern State players is a family friend who was incredibly helpful to my oldest daughter when she was struggling medically her freshman year of high school. Just a great kid, although I suppose the best possible result will be a close win for Texas as she has a ridiculous 3-for-3 game with multiple defensive gems. Ha.

That definitely won't cause any problems.

So is the IL part. The potential move back to 15 is also discussed in the article. I was being super sneaky.

Where is this Univeristy of Texas? Seems like they're sending out a lot of offers lately.

http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/25947020/major-league-baseball-rename-disabled-list-injured-list
In before internet whining about a change that harms nobody whatsoever.
The disabled list is going on the permanent DL.
Major League Baseball will rename the disabled list as the "injured list," a source familiar with the plan told ESPN.
The league will make the change out of concern that the term "disabled" for injured players falsely conflates disabilities with injuries and an inability to participate in sports.
The rules of the DL -- which has gone through different incarnations since its institution in 1966 and today includes a 10-day version for short-term injuries and a 60-day version for more severe ailments -- will remain the same, the source said.
MLB and the players' association continue to discuss possible amendments to the usage of the list itself, as a number of teams have been accused of using a shorter DL -- it was changed from 15 days to 10 days in 2017 -- to manipulate their rosters, sources told ESPN.
During recent negotiations with the union, MLB asked to reestablish the 15-day version of the list. The union has expressed interest in 15 days for pitchers -- who are typically the subject of roster manipulation -- and 10 days for position players.
The NBA places injured players on the inactive list, while the NHL and NFL both have injured reserve lists. The NFL also has a physically unable to perform list.

your commitment to your internet bit is unflappable, and i commend you.
I think you guys have a wonderful strategy of loading up on offensive lineman who are 320+ pounds with a 5.9 forty in high school. I commend the outside-the-box thinking and wish you well in your future endeavors.
By the way, sushi undersold his lack of mobility. It's not just 5:06, the guy gets beaten badly and just grabs his opponent frequently in his film. Take a look at 3:30 in this film. Good news for him and you is that holding gets called less and less every year. If you watch Robinson's senior film and don't sense potential mobility issues then I have no idea what you were watching.

WTF are the C, LG, and LT doing on that play?
Losing a three-on-one battle where they're the three. Just how it was drawn up.

Holy shit, he's really going to say who he thinks is the worst recruit again. Instead of Mr. Irrelevant, the recruit in last place on Burton's list shall hereafter be known as Mr. Lil'Jordan.

Yeah, that should be pretty obvious. John Q. Worker's labor is worth $X to ACME Products. If they can hire him for cost $Y that is less than $X then they do it.
Without payroll and other taxes, John gets all of $Y. The taxes cost the worker money, not the employer.

The onside kick against Clemson in the 2016 national title game was incredibly clever though. Special teams trickery always looks dumb when it doesn't succeed.
Agreed, that's what made this one especially bad, though. Clemson was clearly expecting it and lined up to defend a fake and they still ran their holder with their kicker as a lead "blocker." Just terrible.
Fakes that don't work look bad enough when the other team's special teams unit stops it from a normal alignment.

A month later and that still seems like it might actually be the worst call in the history of football. Certainly the worst fake kick decision. Would have been immeasurably better to simply line up and go for it.

i would get to the right answer the wrong way. "how did you solve for 12*5?" my teacher might ask. "well, i did 10*5, which is fifty and added 10, which is 2*5. that got me to 60." wrong. i was supposed to do the whole 2*5 = 10, carry the one, and do the 5*1 + 1 thing. that seemed too many steps to me and was counter-intuitive.
anyways. just an example. i got more problems wrong for being right than i can remember.
This is how I always do it my teachers didn't suck like yours and I was never counted off if I could explain how I got the answer. It's also complete bullshit that they counted off for you considering you were actually doing it their way but the steps were in a slightly different order and apparently they were too dumb to realize it.
-
Yeah, that looks pretty clean. Good to know what I'll be driving on the F1 2019 game to start my first career mode. Ha.
