Dodd: Get ready to see athletes play for four schools in four years when the NCAA approves new transfer rules next month

[BleedGopher]

per Dodd:

The announcement came during SEC Media Days where the "It Just Means More" motto took on new meaning.

"Surprised at that? Absolutely surprised at that," said Tennessee coach Josh Heupel after first hearing Thursday the NCAA had essentially just allowed athletes to transfer an unlimited number of times. "I think it only heightens the craziness to the transfer portal."

That was a first reaction to the NCAA's announcement that the Division I Council had recommended eliminating the restriction against players transferring multiple times. The NCAA Board of Directors is expected to rubber-stamp the recommendation Aug. 3.

The news comes not even a year into the NCAA's new relaxed rules for one-time transfers.

The transfer portal is about to get even wilder when the NCAA allows players to transfer multiple times

Any decent program with any standards will not have a revolving door.

I'm sure plenty will. There are guys who all but do it now. But they're also generally the guys who have issues / can't seem to get a starting spot outside their first school and so on.

If a coach recruits highly sought-after recruits by promising them playing time and the player is not on the top of the depth chart to start the season they will start putting out feelers or will be receptive to exploring feelers put out by other coaches.
If coaches are honest and say playing time is earned in practice players are less likely to leave.
A marked discrepancy in the distribution of NIL funds can lead to jealousy.
It is going to be better for the players and worse for some coaches.
Eg, Frost had a very large number of his recruits leave. Why??

What do you consider a revolving door? Seems like most schools already have double digit transfers each year. The impact is even more crazy for basketball.

The only coaches it's good for are the ones at the premier programs with deep NIL pockets.
