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. |
There's a third option: make a one-time exception. They did it for Baylor, let the kids from Tulane do the same. The NCAA didn't do anything to stop the kids from Baylor from transferring wherever they wanted. The only substantive difference is the amount of kids involved, since a basketball team has 11 kids on the roster while a D-1A football team has 50+ on scholarship. This won't happen though, the NCAA has a long-standing tradition of doing exactly the opposite of what makes sense.
