This article from 2014 says 3 years

Once the transfer comes to an SEC school, the rule requires the player to make progress toward a graduate degree. If that doesn’t happen, the university won’t be able to apply the grad-student exception in that athlete’s sport for three years.

Ouch.
Thanks


I am thinking maybe something was changed with the rule last year but honestly have no idea the details.

Our offensive line has the chance to be a lot better next year just by adding this guy and one or two of the jucos

And if our new OL coach Friend is as good at coaching as I've heard and read, then we should definitely show a BIG improvement on the OL compared to the last few yrs. If we can snag this GradTransfer to pop in and plug a hole, and then with Carvin too.....plus if we land the 2 JUCO OL boys Jahmir Johnson and Johncarlo Valentin(that are both decent friends and stated that it'd be cool to be able to go play together at a school)......plus Ollie and Tanner, the 2 in-state 3* boys that could be coached up into producers too.....if we get these other 3 pieces(gradTrans/2 JUCOs), and it looks like the odds are in our favor on ALL 3!!!.......then our OL might FINALLY be solid enuf across the board to actually be able to have a good offense again!!! Ha. Coach Friend is a good choice in my opinion to mold and teach this new OL to make them a strong position group for us. Not to mention if we add these recruits with the BEAST Trey Smith! Any QB behind them will finally have time to shine in a yr or 2. I'm hyped.

Still a dumb rule. Why punish the school for a student-athlete no upholding their end of the bargain?

The PURPOSE of the graduate transfer exemption is to allow a graduate of one institution to pursue an ACADEMIC goal at another whilst still on athletic scholarship. Just because it’s used as a loophole doesn’t mean it should be a sham. It’s a risk you take when you accept a grad transfer...I don’t have a problem with it.

It just robs undrafted kids an opportunity to extend their playing careers and further their educations. As with a good number of NCAA rules, they fail to serve the best interest of student athletes.

Completely false. They can stay at the school they are at and play.

Sure, but what if that kid wants/needs a fresh start somewhere? They've put their 4+ years in and most likely earned an undergraduate degree. Yet one door is closed to a kid because another kid didn't hold up their end of the deal the previous year. Just another NCAA rule where the negatives outweigh the positives for kids.

The 85 scholarship limit is another rule that is not in the best interest of student athletes as it encourages attrition and reduces opportunities for walk-ons to earn scholarships.

How does it do that? This kid can still be a graduate transfer. Just not at a school that is not serious about taking graduate transfers that actually intend on getting extra education. This is actually a good rule. Bottom line, if a kid is simply looking for a loophole to play at a different university and he has no interest in continuing his education then don't take him.

One student doesn't mean a school is not serious about taking graduate transfers that actually intend on graduating. If they are going to penalize a school by not allowing them to accept graduate transfers for an entire year, then it needs to be based on more than one instance. Multiple graduate transfers should be allowed, and if the total number of graduate transfers failing to take care of business in all sports exceeds something like 80%, then penalize the school. Just seems rediculous to penalize a school a full year just because they took a chance on ONE kid that failed to hold up their end of the deal.

Sure the kid can still be a graduate transfer, just not at the school of their choice, which means a door is closed for that kid because some other kid screwed up the year before.

We are sure the rule says the penalty will result from 1 instance? Or is this maybe not the first strike?
