Won't ever happen. The chances of this happening is 0%. This would mean that college ball would be some what closer to the NBA which nobody wants to happen. To think of the possibilities would be interesting but this rule is a joke. Please, never happen...

This is rediculous! This screws all mid-majors that find a steal in recruiting. I love college bball and this would be awful.

This just helps student athletes who are more focussed on getting a degree than playing a sport. Think about how many players actually redshirt anyway. There's not many. Odds are there will be one or two players a year at the most who take advantage of this ruling, and odds are that they're not big contributers. People are really dwelling on the worst-case scenarios too much, but they're unlikely to come true. What's more likely to come true is that a player who would typically have to pay out of his own pocket for a graduate degree or be forced to go to his current college's graduate school would have more academic options. If a player at a school like Cal Poly, Northern Arizona, etc. was good enough to play for a Kentucky, Indiana, etc. then they'd be just as likely to transfer if the rule wasn't in effect, and like I said earlier, odds are a player of that caliber wouldn't have redshirted. This rule could actually wind up sending more high-major caliber players to the mid-major ranks. Redshirts like Michigan State's Drew Naymick who don't really have much of a future in basketball unless they're commited to play in the European ranks can now choose get a graduate degree in the field they're more realistically going to have a career in and from a school that would better fit their needs than their current school.

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CBS SportsLine.com on Wednesday asked six coaches from five different leagues if they knew about the new rule, which went into effect on April 27.</div> Sounds to me they can already transfer under these conditions. I'm 50/50 on it. It rewards the students who finish school ahead of schedule to give them a shot for more exposure by playing at a high profile school. One downside I can see is a lot of manipulation coming from the Dukes, UConns. They can use the smaller colleges sort of like their own farm system to evaluate players and then call them up if they see a good fit.
Just think if this was in effect a few years ago. Taylor Coppenrath who I loved would have gone to a school like UConn and got picked first round. Instead, he was stuck with not even a pick.

Players like Coppenrath from mid-major schools always had the option of transferring to bigger programs, and they still do. The only people this rule effects are players who had to redshirt a year, something Coppenrath didn't do. Besides, Coppenrath went undrafted because he wasn't good enough, not because he played for a small school.
