Too bad they could have made this decision sooner.

Seriously. The NCAA is horrible. The Power 5 needs to separate from the NCAA as soon as possible.

What is the point of giving everyone a "free year", but then forcing kids to still sit out???

What exactly were they doing all this time? Should be ashamed of their laziness. Glad we get the waivers anyways.

If I was the commish of the P12, I'd have had a private meeting with the other leagues about organizing our own post-season play and removing the NCAA entirely as the schools don't actually need them. Some of the situations where they rule a player out or given them an accrued year for playing in a German club football game is beyond absurd for these young-adults with a limited playing career. Sports is supposed to be fun and these people make it the opposite.

For just basketball or all sports? I would agree for basketball (though smaller leagues would get screwed, might need to include them) but for football is the NCAA that incompetent?

The NCAA does not specifically determine the Football champion, hence no playoff system because of the bowls.

You don't need to include the smaller leagues, they'd simply follow suit once you cut the NCAA off at the knees and it became an NAIA organization.

Sedona Prince not playing on last years team was such BS.

Fair enough, do you think it's an issue at all that players would take advantage of the ability to transfer without any sort of repercussions? I personally don't think it's right for players to take a spot on the team and in classes away from someone who would want to be there, and immediately transfer cause they feel like it. That's a lost spot for someone that would actually work hard. Jabari Brown is the first player that comes to mind and anyone who transfers like he did shouldn't be able to just freely go play somewhere else immediately. Maybe have some sort of reduction in their scholarship and make them personally liable for at least a portion of their tuition at the next school?

Looks like Figueroa is in! Go Ducks!

This is a decent point. I think it is fair to grant a one-time transfer to players in-between seasons with no penalty. However, if a player transfers in season, they should have to sit the rest of that year.

Huge. Should pay immediate dividends.

"Figueroa, a transfer from St. John’s, was finally granted an immediate eligibility waiver by the NCAA on Thursday and will take the court for No. 21 Oregon when it faces Seton Hall Friday night (6 p.m., FS1) in Omaha, Neb."

Figueroa leaves the Big East, only to start his Pac-12 career against the Big East.

Myles Powell from Seton Hall is gone, but should be a well coached team as usual, physical. They have a Harvard transfer at PG who was a good player there, so it'll be interesting to see if we get torched by a good PG again without Richardson.

They've also got some good vetern bigs. Sandro Mamukelashvili would be another tough matchup for N'Faly Dante.
