HoosierPal Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 New Rules, from Field of 68 Daily 1. NCAA tightens transfer window, grad rules, tweaks coaching calendar Changes are coming to the transfer window. And to the recruiting calendar. And to social media (kinda, I’ll explain later). And most of it makes sense, which is a welcome change from some of the usual NCAA moves. The NCAA Division I Council approved multiple changes on Wednesday, the most significant of which applies to when student-athletes can enter the transfer portal. They had 60 days this year. In 2024, it’ll be just over six weeks. The NCAA noted that 61% of student-athletes who transferred did so within the first 30 days. There were reports that the NCAA would move it to 30 days. That wasn’t the case. "We had every argument for 30 days," one source told CBS Sports. "Men's basketball was against [45]. ... The men's basketball student-athlete engagement group favored a 30-day window after the second round." The portal still opens the day after Selection Sunday — the one aspect that still needs revised given many teams are preparing for the NCAA Tournament, the NIT or the CBI. Not only should the attention be on those events, but it’s also a challenge for the coaches to prep their teams and spend time on the portal. Another important change: Grad transfers can’t make a move anytime they want. The council also heard from the Legislative Committee on an update to graduate transfer waiver guidelines. The Legislative Committee noted that notification-of-transfer deadlines of May 1 for fall and winter sports and July 1 for spring sports apply to graduate transfers transferring for the first time, and that beginning in 2024-25, graduate students seeking waivers for postgraduate eligibility will need to comply with those same deadlines. The council expressed support for the current transfer waiver guidelines for student-athletes who have transferred multiple times as undergraduate students. It’s unclear if this will apply to student-athletes taking summer school courses to graduate. As for the recruiting calendar, the April evaluation period is gone. That’s now a time when coaches can focus on the transfer portal. It’s a major change (and one the coaches pushed for). The June recruiting weekends are likely to stay in place, per CBS Sports. Coaches are still waiting for that true “dead period” so they aren’t working year round, but that’ll have to wait until 2025. Lastly, the NCAA says no more photoshoots for prospective recruits. Where that leaves the the Joe Tiptons of the world (and people like me, searching for images during the long, slow summer), I don’t know. But I’m guessing we’ll see some ingenuity emerge. Maybe this is where AI takes over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Sounds like an attempt (feeble or not) to reign in some of the new madness. I don't have a problem with any of it but I am sure it will negatively impact some poor soul alogn the way and the usual outrage will ensue. cgeldmacher likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The author agrees with me the NCAA is already dead. He calls it a zombie. SLU better be ready for a post NCAA world. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need a big presence to fill the void inside. It is a bummer they no longer have the flexibility to fit Akok. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/west-virginias-akok-akok-stable-responsive-after-collapsing-during-game-vs-george-mason-153257337.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't read too much into this one. These two exhibitition have been the worst attended in 30+ years. Typically there is 2-3k in attendance, sometimes more. We started playing games a lot later in the year 20+ years ago as well and the weather was worse. This was nothing, drizzling rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think you're underestimating just how dreary it's been metro wide today. Add in the cold and other distractions and I'm not really flustered.

I am glad today's youngsters got to experience attendance wise what us students during eckertime in the late 70's and early 80's had to endure every game. That said this ford team would beat Ecker every game so you're not getting exactly the same effect Bizziken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almaman Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 don't feel like scrolling up 2 c name again, but really what team higher up than us would expect folks to come out their team play them. not tohijack but didn't want separate thread; we were talking about diluting importance of regular season well now. the NBA is doing what soccer has been doing the in season tournament.

JMM28 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 The NCAA is a terrible organization. But they did state pretty clearly that two time transfers had to sit now. It wasn't like this is a surprise to schools or the players that transferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
