re: Should NCAA reinstate the 1-yr Sit Out on Transfers?

quote:

---

1 yr sit rule for any player who is not a graduate or a senior. I’m not burying a senior who can’t get in the field at one school when he can start at another.

Courts won't allow it. There is no way for universities to agree to a set of rules which won't be collusion if someone challenges it in court. It is the free market doing what it does best. It is what conservative politics was, no more than 6 years ago, based on....free markets with little to no regulation outside of that which the natural forces of the market force.

There is no legal way that UGA and UF and LSU, for example, can agree that any players who transfer from one of the 3 to another of the 3 will have to sit out a year IF the player himself does not choose to sit out a year because he will simply transfer to another school without such rules. Those 3 schools would eventually have to decide to play by the same rules as everyone else or continue to attempt to be different. The NCAA can't impose any such rule because as soon as it does someone is going to challenge it and win. You cannot regulate the free market without legislation....thank goodness. Businesses cannot collude with one another to limit competition, thank goodness. If workers and small business are meant to figure out how to survive in a free market with little or no regulation why should college football be exempt?
