i think for many academics don't matter anymore. here, i believe k-state didn't academically qualify a high level juco d'lineman recruit at the start of spring semester and he left.randallcat85 wrote: ↑April 25th, 2024, 3:51 pmSo...with this "changing as often as many times the "Student Athlete" desires and be immediately eligible to play"... are the schools still at all involved with requiring that this new "Student Athlete" is actually eligible under the school's academic requirements? I just wonder because it seems like it would be difficult for these frequent to be eligible for enrollment at some of these "fine" Academic Institutions

What I meant by that was it used to be that if an athlete transferred to another school, he/she had to sit out a year. Then it was loosened up a little bit so that the student-athlete didn't have to sit out after the first transfer. Now the NCAA (because of court rulings) have made it so that an athlete can transfer as many times as they want without being forced to sit out a year.randallcat85 wrote: ↑April 25th, 2024, 3:51 pmSo...with this "changing as often as many times the "Student Athlete" desires and be immediately eligible to play"... are the schools still at all involved with requiring that this new "Student Athlete" is actually eligible under the school's academic requirements?

However, like tmcats said, individual schools may have their own academic qualification requirements.

Jones needs to go to a school like a Wichita State. Where he can be a big fish and get a resume to go after NIL.

Thanks for reply TM & STL.
This is what a would expect from Coach K and all KSU coaches as these rules to qualify for being a transfer student at a school one had to meet certain items (e.g. minimal hours completed, minimal GPA or completion of JuCo degree, etc) My question was more directed at schools other than KSU and wondering how on earth these multi school multi transfer guys have any shot of meeting any standards. OR are these schools going to bow to the NIL gods and if NIL gods bless the "student athlete" with $BIG NIL $s - AND this particular NIL "investor" is a major donor to the university and here's my NIL athlete, register him and put him on the team or I stop donations to the university. Will that student "automatically " qualify for regisyration?
I am betting Yes. But if your kid is NOT a student athlete and wanted to transfer schools year to year, they may be able to transfer but hours transferred willbe nominal AND they would have to meet other guidelines. Many efucational transfer students are essentially forced to "sit out a year" of earning because of limited transfer of classes, etc.
Anyway, I really feel like the sports programs, with those current NIL rules, should be completely separated from university affiliation and funding and just become the "new" professional minor leagues.

I think this is where things are heading. I'm still holding out hope that if/when the Big Ten and SEC break away from the NCAA, all this stuff will go with them and the rest of the schools can get back to playing college (not semi-pro) sports. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.randallcat85 wrote: ↑April 25th, 2024, 5:23 pm

Been that way forever.. I bet the juco transcripts of Snyder recruits were interesting.
At least now coaches put on a good front with tutors and mandatory study halls.
But the online classes certainly make me question some of what happens now. I bet very few players in their last semester ever see a class room. Johnny Furphee in Australia while class is in session at KU. Wonder if he has been in Lawrence at all since the season ended.

These players who transfer 3 to 4 times I wonder how many hours do not transfer.
