But that's not the point. Yes the kids will lose out. But that is the only option between

A) Not allowing anybody to leave

or

B) Not controlling the free movement of powerhouse schools in a bordering state in regards to just picking up whatever players they can no matter what the state of the athletic program.

Basically it all comes down to are all the NCAA schools getting the same availability to these players... and you will prob find that they aren't. Half cause some of these kids don't want to be too far from home because of this type of event... but that still doesn't change the fact that Texas schools are getting free pick of the litter while others are getting left out.

It just seems to me that the only option is to have them sit out a year without affecting elligibility. And in the event of a disaster like this I'm sure they (NCAA) will find ways to give these affected kids the year they missed out on once they are relocated.
