This rule is purely about $$$. The TV contracts are the life blood of the NCAA. The networks need to have the best players playing for the best schools so they can drive the best viewership to make the most money. Period. This rule helps funnel the best players to the best schools quicker to achieve that goal. It's all about the money. The NCAA is purely a minor league to the pros in both football and basketball. They could not care less if any athlete gets a degree (they only publish graduation rates because it's politically correct) and they are totally against parity outside of the power 5 conferences. The networks don't want to see Bowling Green playing Wyoming for a football championship or LaSalle playing Cleveland State for a basketball championship. So, the NCAA will do what it can to make sure that doesn't happen. If the NCAA truly cared about amateur athletics, athletes, and parity, they should take their profits every year and divide them equally among all the schools. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg, the weakest Div. 1 school should have the exact same ability to succeed as the richest school. Is this socialism, probably, but this is amateur athletics, not the pros. Flame on!
