If PSU didn’t get gutted in the wake of what happened to them I think you’ve exaggerating the possible effects at other schools…let kids transfer

Probably true. But as I’ve said before, I don’t care if the kids can’t transfer or not. They’re given plenty. Don’t want to play the within the NCAAs rules, don’t sign the LOI. Not hard.

Can’t believe the Keepers of the CFB Flame here have a problem with this too, good lord

I agree this is an issue, but if the coach leaves for say, the NFL, should the players be able to leave and ruin the school’s team? I honestly don’t know the answer.

They just want the same rights as their coaches who bolt

Well, if we stick with Duffy’s response to the grad student comparison.

If a student is established with a mentor in a biomed grad program, and the mentor with the lab gets a job offer elsewhere, he will often take his grad students with him, so they dont have to start over. This could have been the case of Duffy’s parents (or other grad transfers). But usually the PhD is still granted by the original institution so it’s not a ‘real’ transfer.

So maybe we just let kids follow the coaches to the new school? Wouldn’t that be something if Mississippi offered Saban $100 million to come to Oxford, and bring along half of the Crimson Tide team with him???

You’re buying that one? What steroid is that?

It’s a really strange case. But to answer your question, no, I don’t. Story goes he hurt himself in HS and the doctor recommended a steroid. He took it and tested positive for it leading into his freshman year. Since then he has been tested by Georgia every few months and the levels keep dropping, yet they’re still too high per NCAA standards. It’s clear (per UGA) that he hasn’t continued its use, but it’s still in his system.

IU chem is pretty good.

Yeah, my friend was choosing between there and UC-Davis coming out of undergrad. I wanted him to go to Davis because the guy he would have been working for was doing a lot with nano-technology back then. That and I had decided to move wherever he did for a change in scenery. Would have preferred California to Bloomington, IN.

She is now at a B1G university with a $5 mil starting grant for 3 years of work.

IU chem is pretty good. I’m very lucky to be at a school that is very well-respected in both my fields, and if I ever get out of here in one piece, that respect goes a long way in getting your foot in the door at other institutions.

These schools put up a lot of time and money to get these kids off the ground and moving. Entirely reasonable to expect that the kid stick around.

one dude who tested positive for a steroid that won’t leave his system after 3 years.

The penalties, either direct or in the years it takes from your career, are basically prohibitive for biomed/sci grad students

This right here. She was becoming a “star” in her field at a young age. She did her post-doc at Harvard and had multiple offers for a tenure track position. She is now at a B1G university with a $5 mil starting grant for 3 years of work.

Thinking of those two every time a writer starts talking about the “big” money in college football makes me laugh. The money that sports brings in is a drop in the bucket compared to what the research professors command.

Sorry, this discussion is over, did you not hear the parental anecdote?

I didn’t, but I do feel silly for thinking this was a discussion of the current state of affairs and not how things were 30 years ago.

Yes…you have five years…transfers made you burn that fifth year…now the transfer year does not take away a year of eligibility. So you can be a freshman somewhere, transfer, and still have four years (three to play, one to redshirt)

Ahh, I see now, the year in residence would be a clock stoppage like Mormon mission or military service. That is very intriguing.

The penalties, either direct or in the years it takes from your career, are basically prohibitive for biomed/sci grad students. A very few medical students transfer, but unless the reason is “my wife had to move for residency and I was still in school” or “your hospital is named after my daddy”, it’s tough for a school to accept you, given how strictly regulated the class sizes are, and that they would question what you are running from.

SEC fans don’t use the internet

/Saban oversigning’d

Please. I hate that shit more than anyone. Georgia fans should be the most upset with oversigning. Without it, Saban doesn’t have the depth he has (nor does LSU or SoCar) and UGA is most likely playing for a natty this year. UGA opened the season with 74 players on schollie. 74!! That includes long snappers, kickers, punters and one dude who tested positive for a steroid that won’t leave his system after 3 years.

Yeah, they can transfer, but they don’t get to take any of their research with them.

Let’s see how many transfers are blocked once the internet (and this very site) explodes when a coach does it and whines and cries about how the kids are being screwed over.

Yeah, but when was the last time 80,000 people showed up to watch a kid do a damn chemistry experiment?

Or sold millions of the kids replica Lab Coats. It’s ludicrous.
