Exactly. They have the G league team that nobody watches and nobody knows who is on it or how they are doing. Go do thatIt is foolish to make the year in residence only about basketball. It is an ACADEMIC policy, and that is where the NCAA needs to hang its hat.
99% of players aren’t going to the NBA, so maximizing graduation rates should be priority #1 for all involved. Do not allow novices to control the narrative with “player freedom” bullshit. Playing NCAA athletics is not a right; it is a privilege, and nobody is holding anyone down and forcing them to sign on from the outset. It is a FACT that transferring is an academic setback for most students—let alone basketball and football players who tend to take 12 credits per semester.
The priority must be balancing hoops while maximizing graduation rates for the vast majority of D1. If that is not acceptable to some, then they can pursue other opportunities. Let the free market fill the vacuum and develop some type of minor league system.
