I think that's bullshit. Life comes hard at people, and we don't know the reasons why a player would feel the need to transfer.
How about politicians keep their fucking fingers out of sports, eh? It took a half century - more, even - for players to get any rights, and now people who are not even remotely involved in the NCAA are pushing them back to that era.
As much as I don't like this kind of action by any president the fact that some people are playing college football for 7 8 or 9 years like is happening now is pretty idiotic.
And here I thought Executive Orders were being overused before. And that’s not being political. I think they’re overused by all Presidents over the past couple decades.

They should at least limit the number of transfers where you don't have to sit out a year like they used to do yrars ago.
You are doing no favors allowing kids to transfer 3 or 4 times or more. The majority of kids won't make the NFL and the chances that they end up graduating after 3 transfers are next to zero.

I think it depends on the reason.....a redshirt year? sure.....a grey shirt (injury) year? sure.....that gets you to six.
Unless it became a common misused tactic to stack talent, I don't mind it really.
Disagree. For example, Keagan Trost, the kid we picked in the third round, was a seven-year man and graduate transfer (already completed his studies and graduated, to be specific) and went to four different schools. If not for this year at Missouri, where he finally got to show off what he was capable of, he's likely a UDFA. Redshirt seniors/graduate transfers take either five, six, or even seven years to stay in school, and without those good later years, they likely don't get drafted.
Talent is talent. Some players are late bloomers, and we don't know all the reasons why players transfer and pick the schools to transfer to (and to be honest, it's none of our business to know; that's up to the players).
Okay, now do the other 90% of kids who transfer who barely sniff the NFL or NBA and get no shot or are out of the league in a year. No NFL/NBA, no degree, now what?
