So will players still have to obtain a release to talk to other programs? That will be a nightmare for coaches and teammates. How do you manage that? What about within the conference transfers?
This will bring a whole new meaning to one and done. I can see programs telling recruits...you go to Dayton and prove yourself one or two years and when so-and-so graduates/leaves for the NBA, we will bring you in to fill his spot if you play well. Every Rookie of the Year and all-rookie team player will attract attention.
Bottom line is the NCAA would not be doing this if they thought they could win in court on the issue. IMO it's a sad day for programs like UD if this passes. One more reason the BE or ACC become even more critical for Dayton.

And,further, schools like UD and the A10 schools need to build their continuity by having players in their system for 4-5 years as very very very few A10 players are ever good enough to really leave early.Schools that can keep a couple pretty good recruiting classes intact for those years can make sweet 16's and beyond.
Now, just for example, you take a kid like Kostas who might be feeling left out right now based on his mpg and/or lack of being further along in his game and he might feel like he's got a better chance somewhere else and being able to transfer with no repercussions (sitting out another year, etc.) makes this possible. It has nothing to do with him being ready to "up his game" at a more distinguished basketball school but everything to do with another school soliciting him and selling him their BS.
