Bear Football Players Have A Real Dilemma Quickly Approaching

[Lumpy Chucklelips]

My assumption is that, if a JR transferred now, and the NCAA gave OM a 2 year bowl ban, the NCAA would allow that player to play immediately

Will the NCAA have made that decision in time for them to be able to play this fall for a new team? If not, I think that will be the dilemma that the player will face. Do I take a chance that the NCAA doesn't make a ruling before the season starts?

I don't believe that the NCAA will rule prior to the season starting.

With the NCAA protocol and then the way OM is dragging this thing out, I don't see anyway possible for that to happen.

Some other AD types in SEC are forecasting an October announcement of penalties.

If it is a two year Bowl ban...Current Jrs will be able to transfer after the season. USC was handed down a two year Bowl ban in June and their Jrs were able to transfer after the season. So much less if penalties are handed down during a season.

By them being handed down during the season...the current Jrs will have to make a decision. Once that decision has to be made they will only have one more year and some will decide to stick it out. Had a two year Bowl ban come out...say now, you would see more transfers than now that they delayed.
