ballcoach15 wrote:Most NCAA recruiting violations get their start as result of some AAU coach.Can you seriously provide a real, genuine source for once? You're throwing around some serious accusations with nothing to support it beyond "opinion."

I think he still may be in prison.For you to say “ever”, with or without a citation, you would have to verify that you have a knowledge of most or all AAU coaches. You’ve yet to do so.

His agent work got him in trouble after he ripped off one of his former AAU players.Even if anyone does, at this point it would be reinforcing bad behavior and no one here wants to condone baseless claims at the integrity of individuals and governing bodies without even an attempt to bring real evidence to the table beyond personal appeal to other users.

What will happen is free agency in college sports, i.e. money being passed under the table to get athletes to transfer. Some schools will recruit from other NCAA schools. (some of that happens now[Citation Needed]).
JK37 wrote:What money does pass under said tables will continue. This a rule that needs to happen, for all the other sports no one cares enough about to put money under a table. The rule exists to allow a student to spend a year in residency guaranteeing their academics without the added distraction of athletic participation. But if they’ve already proven themselves a quality student, the rule isn’t necessary.While JK37 is certainly correct as to the stated reason for the one year rule, there is also no question that there was also an underlying reason/result of discouraging transfers. To the very limited extent that the stuff ballcoach is so paranoid about exists, I agree that there will be no change. First of all, the new rule would require a minimum GPA of 3.0 to transfer and play immediatly. That will eliminate a significant portion of the athletes who are using college as merely a stepping stone on the way to their (often delusional) dream of a pro career. Secondly, in the current environment EVERYTHING is scrutinized by way more eyes than the old days and can be tweeted around the world in an instant. Red flags will be raised any time an elite player transfers, and NOBODY is going to pay, and take the risk of stiff consequences, for anything less. Add to that the involvement of the FBI, and IMHO the conspiracy theory of buying players by the transfer route is a huge tempest in a tiny teacup.
I’m all for freedom. I thought Ballcoach was all for freedom, but apparently he wants to oppress the marketplace - just like a true democrat.
