Big Ten athletic directors support one-time transfer exemption

Jan 31, 2020.  Adam Rittenberg  ESPN 

Big Ten Conference athletic directors are supporting a one-time transfer exemption for all sports, which would allow college athletes to move from one Division I school to another without sitting out a year, Ohio State AD Gene Smith told ESPN.  The league last year formally introduced a proposal for a one-time transfer exemption, but the NCAA's board of directors in November implemented a moratorium on transfer-related proposals for the 2019-20 legislative cycle. A Big Ten athletic director said the league hopes the moratorium is lifted and the proposal could be considered as early as this spring, with a potential vote at the 2021 NCAA convention.

A one-time transfer exemption currently is allowed in all but five Division I sports: football, men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball and men's ice hockey. Athletes transferring in those sports must sit out a year of competition unless they graduate from their original institution or obtain an immediate-eligibility waiver from the NCAA.   "I'm supportive of [the one-time exemption]," Smith said. "I think it was almost unanimous. At the end of the day, we need to provide those kids in those five sports the same opportunities as those in the other sports have. At the end of the day, everybody else has choice. Why can't they have a choice?"

Many football and basketball coaches have opposed a transfer exemption, likening it to free agency. But others cite an increase in transfers, the implementation of the NCAA's transfer portal, and a rise in immediate-eligibility waivers being granted as reasons for a one-time exemption.  Football coaches such as Michigan's Jim Harbaugh and UCLA's Chip Kelly have publicly supported changing the transfer rules to allow a one-time exemption.  "We want to force a discussion," Smith said. "We have a committee on transfers. We've been talking about this for how many years. Somewhere along the line, we need to force the issue. People need to stand up on their positions."

Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel earlier told CBS Sports that a one-time exemption is "the right thing to do," and said the current rules affect several sports where the majority of athletes are minorities. CBS Sports reported that the Big Ten first submitted a proposal to the NCAA in July and refined it in October, but the NCAA's board of directors implemented the moratorium on Nov. 1, saying it would gather more information during the following year.  "What we're trying to do is force the issue so we can get all of Division I, the Power 5, to go on record and say: Where are you at on this thing?" a Big Ten athletic director told ESPN. "Can we do it in a way that allows us to maintain the values we have in college athletics, and not have it turn into total free agency? We have to come together on it."

Justin Fuente told Virginia Tech players that if they enter the portal they are not allowed to return to the team.

Bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.

Kind of funny... Fuente entered the coaches portal by interviewing with Baylor, and then returned back to the Hokies. 😂😂😂

I like it, which probably means it's unacceptable to today's crowd.

This coming on the heels of Va Tech's historically bad recruiting class.

Well he did the adult equivalent of the exact same shit this year, so you can see the problem here.

Based on the posts of his that I’ve seen, I actually don’t think he can.

Post your take and move the fuck on, negger.

Fuente can run his program how he wants, and his rivals on the recruiting trail can rip him for it...

Thanks for validating my previous post. You’re celebrating a guy who was going to leave for Baylor a month ago until he couldn’t agree on assistant positions so he came back to VaTech, I.e. entered the coaching portal and returned, telling his players they can’t do the exact same thing he just did.
And you somehow trying to turn not celebrating blatant hypocrisy into a dig at “today’s crowd” was the icing on the cake.
