Rules Changes for 22

[Lobot]

There are more changes out there than I can find at the moment but one thing that appears to changing for sure are the targeting rules and the transfer portal.

The transfer portal is under discussion at the Spring Meeting right now in Phoenix. Apparently the deal is that the transfer portal will be limited to two time windows that correspond with the recruiting periods before signing days. The reason is that it makes roster management easier for coaches and staff and would let you know what's leaving before the incoming recruit signings occurs. This one is a foregone conclusion and they just need to vote on it.

The targeting rules were under discussion for while and the original draft was that when a player gets ejected they only have to sit out for the rest of the game. I'm not sure what stage the discussions are in on this. One of the things that occurs to me is it gives players free rein to headhunt at the end of games knowing they can get right back on the field right away in the next game. I'm not sure if that 's been considered at all. This is not a done deal from my understanding.

I think they need to have different levels of Targeting. One that gets you ejected for the remainder of the game, and one that disqualifies you for the next game as well. There have been plenty of games where players have been ejected late in the game because of inadvertent targetting. The penalty should not carry over to the next game in these scenarios. This should keep the deterrence in place for head hunters, as well as continue to protect players.

I doubt this stands up to judicial review in at will employment states. I'd rather see portal open anytime for players and contact/singing periods similar to recruiting, with same signing days

I've seen a few people state similar objections to it based on it creating a work restriction so you might be right.

More the NCAA is wrong than I am right

Check the NIL thread in General. Looks like the NCAA might be moving to ban booster collectives

Maybe the wrong place but..... What came out of the Big 12 spring meetings?

Several athletic administrators and college sports insiders discussed the Transfer Committee’s concepts under the condition of anonymity. They include (1) eliminating scholarship caps on sports that offer only partial scholarships; (2) abolishing the limitation on the number of coaches per team; (3) expanding direct payments from schools to athletes; (4) reconfiguring the recruiting calendar; and (5) implementing closed periods in the NCAA transfer portal.
