Did I want to see UGA play UT with Soloman and Gibbs? Nope .. is this fair to UT (or even Luke Ford who transferred from UGA to Illinois)? Absolutely not .. if Fields could get a no apparent reason transfer, all of these kids should. Just a damn joke.Because of course we did. At this point it's par for the course.
Damn we needed Solomon in the worst way this season.
I agree. These athletes/students have based their decisions on the current NCAA Transfer Guidelines. It would be unlikely the NCAA would backup the new guidelines. I think these will be enforced for the 2020 season. I mean, HELL! it's freakin' June, for Christ sake!I agree its not likely they pass something and then say everything still backed up in the works ifs affected. Not because I trust in the NCAA to be fair but because that's how the legals think. It will likely have wording saying something like any application put in after x date gets the new guidelines. Because all the ones in now were based on the current guidelines and the athletes transferred based on that.
Also note this
The Associated Press reported in May that the total number of requests increased from 150 in 2017-18 to 250 in 2018-19, though the success rate for claims fell by two percentage points in 2018-19 compared to the previous four years.
Even thought there were more transfers actually less waivers were granted percentage wise. Meaning basically the same percentage. This leads one to think they might not bother changing it since is not really resulting in a higher percentage of waivers perse
Are we sure that this only takes effect from this point forward on filing .. the ones already submitted should not be bound by this .. since there have already been waivers granted for this year... should apply going forward .. surely this is not in effect immediately .. surely wouldn't use 2 different rules in thethe NCAA same calendar year ..
