Isn't Outkick like the NY Post for sports? It's not full on National Enquirer "bat boy lives", but it's clearly just click bait?
Once again, let them be employees, let them unionize, and lets collectively bargain all of this out.
Or just put the old transfer rule in without exceptions. I still don't understand how the NCAA isn't allowed to set their own eligibility rules. Otherwise, what is keeping a guy who is a good college player, but not a pro, from playing college basketball for a decade as long as he's an enrolled student. I don't see how the NCAA regulating that is any different than saying if you transfer, you have to sit out a year.
