I like this. Conference can still set their own rules allowing for coaches/schools to restrict transfers, though. Also made it a bigger penalty to tamper with players currently on another team's roster. It had been a very minor infraction before that deterred no one.

The rule change ends the controversial practice in which some coaches or administrators would prevent students from having contact with specific schools. Conferences, however, still can make rules that are more restrictive than the national rule.

Pac 12 is all over this!
 
You just have to be a bit careful so it doesn't become a free-for-all transfer market kinda thing where the big teams can basically just pick other or smaller teams clean. There has to be some balance to it or you could conceivably get into a situation where some teams lose a player to a bigger school once he's had some sort of success.
 
Okie Lite AD in a podcast interview this week:

“You’ve got to give credit to Mike Gundy. He’s really matured into a difference maker as a coach. I would approach recruiting a little differently than he does. I’d want to finish higher in those recruiting rankings than we consistently do. I think that ultimately puts a ceiling on what you’re able to achieve. We do a great job of overcoming that with Rob Glass down in the weight room, and I think our coaches do a great job of disciplining and motivating and channeling what talent we have in the right direction. I just think we would be better served with a few more James Washington’s coming in the front door – you know, he came in as a two-star, three-star, left a five-star – we need to take some of those five-stars and turn them into seven-stars, which I think Rob Glass could do, and I think Mike Gundy could as well.
“I’m patting them on the back at the same time I’m challenging them to get out there and do a little bit more recruiting … Recruiting is the most important thing we do, and you’re only as good as your athletes.”

Mike Gundy:

Gundy's gone for the next big offer.

A couple years ago I would have disagreed. Okie State was his dream job, the fans love(d) him, he got to do things his way, it would have taken a lot to get him to even look at almost any other job.

Now he has an AD who wants to be the "guy in charge" and probably some boosters who think that they should be Alabama or at least Clemson.

When Gundy leaves they won't get a replacement close to as good. They are going to spend at least the next couple decades wishing they had never let him go.

And that AD will be gone within 3-4 years max without Gundy there keeping them in the rankings every year.
 
Wow, I hadn't noticed this before. Big loss for a lot of kids, and universities that depend on JC influx.
The Maricopa County Community College District announced Monday that it will eliminate football after the upcoming 2018 season as an "MCCCD sponsored sport."
That means Phoenix College, Scottsdale Community College, Mesa Community College and Glendale Community College will play one final season before the programs are discontinued next year.

Will be only 65 NJCAA football programs after those schools cut their football programs.

"Football is about 20 percent of the entire athletics budget across the entire district," Interim Executive Vice Chancellor Paul Dale said. "It represents about 55 percent of our total insurance costs."

I don't know if that is related only to the athletics budget or college overall but that's a big number.
 
I always hear from the talking heads on TV and Radio that fb players should be paid. It is funny because there are only a small percentage of schools that actually have the resources to do that....most FCS and Div II and below are barely scraping by. My nieces husband is a DL coach for a FCS school...and with the hours he puts in, he probably makes 15 bucks an hour. The cost of a FB program is very high....

Football coach salaries should never be looked at in an hourly amount. You go into coaching knowing that is your life, and you have very little time for anything else, including family.

My brother would agree with you. Until about the last 8 or 9 years, he never could settle down anywhere it seemed. He'd start getting comfortable and then have to move again.

It's a 90 hour/week job to be a HC/high level assistant coach at the collegiate/NFL level, and it's non-stop year round, with only a few short breaks. I imagine college to be more demanding due to recruiting, booster schmoozing, academic things, and other administrative obligations that NFL coaches don't deal with.
