Here we go again, beating a dead horse and talking about another silly NCAA rule: the football player transfer rule. Undergraduate NCAA football players are required to sit on the bench one full season if they decide to transfer to another school once the realize the original program was not a good fit. Let’s give the NCAA some credit — they have recently created a rule allowing athletes who have played less than four games in a season to be able to transfer and play at their new school immediately. Nevertheless, the restriction of player movement in the NCAA is completely blasphemous due to the fact that coaches can leave whenever they want with no consequences. Florida State head football coach Willie Taggart is coaching his third team in three years. In 2016, he coached the South Florida Bulls, and in 2017 he coached the Oregon Ducks. I have no problem with Taggart’s moves over these past three seasons. He did what he thought was best for his career — but everyone should have that right to choose. The problem, however, is that in the two programs Taggart coached before Florida State, he convinced many teenagers to commit four years of their new adult lives to play for a program he would not be a part of by the time they stepped on campus. And now, what do the players get who want to leave the program? The opportunity to sit out for a year of their “job” because of a coach who decided to leave after promising them a future at his program. The mind-boggling issue with this scenario is that the NCAA holds 18-year-old kids more accountable than 40-plus-year-old adults. The logic in this concept is completely asinine. View Full Article
