Talked about the contradicting verbiage (both attached) with @aaron_breitman back in March regarding Graduate Transfers.. looks like it’s cleaned up Restricting nobody except the players who actually graduate seems weird and backwards in todays climate

Not a coincidence Reggie gets his Heisman back as soon as USC moves to the Big Ten.. the Less-E-C doesn’t have that juice
The new Heisman commercial with Reggie Bush can be top tier hilarious if they can script it right Hire Dave Chappelle to supervise

@itsAntWright @jeffborzello Lol. Encouraging guys to graduate should be the one loophole in all this. Oh you got a degree (or another degree), cool do/go wherever you want. Now you have to transfer a few credits shy. Ncaa strikes again
@itsAntWright @aaron_breitman The funny thing is, I have no faith that the NCAA can enforce the deadline anyway. Somebody can throw their name in the portal in June, and as long as they get a lawyer and threaten to sue, the NCAA is not gonna hold them out imo
@jeffborzello @itsAntWright you see this? Affects grad transfers immediately.
@itsAntWright So after May 1 you can't enter the portal but everyone in it can still move schools?
@itsAntWright The NCAA is losing its juice. You love to see it.
