pabaseballdad postedand the NCAA rule on transfer is disgraceful. The kid gets cut, and now even if another d1 school would take him, he has to sit a year. makes no sense in any world. can't justify it, no matter how you look at it.
I would just like to add a few points. It's not always about freeing up money.
Most of the time, the player that is asked to transfer is because they didn't buy into the program. Coaches have rules and expectations, if you don't meet them, you are asked to leave. You only get so many chances. And it could be as innocent as being late to meetings, instruction, practice, missing your classes, issues during the game or how you get along with your teammates. But too many reminders don't work after awhile.
Sometimes, the player didn't belong at a D1 program in the first place. Many D2 programs have drop down players,or from Juco, that end up being successful where they failed before. Going from one D1 program to the next isnt always the answer.
Sometimes it's a personality issue. Just remember, players often don't like their coaches, and often the coaches don't like the player. It works both ways.
ZIA2021,
Not all d1 programs offer guaranteed 4 year scholarships.
