I was involved in a youth sports league for several years. It always amazed me to listen to a coach one year argue for a rule to be implemented that would benefit him, then turn around the next year and argue against the rule, because it would benefit another team.
And, to whomever said, "This puts the B1G at a disadvantage..." Yeah, the B1G has been on a downward slide in wrestling for years because of this rule. [eyeroll]
For the record, I have been trying to get the B1G to align their transfer restrictions with just NCAA transfer restrictions across all sports for several years.
No NCAA program is permitted to try and poach or recruit D1 student athletes from another NCAA program. That isn't just a B1G rule. It is an NCAA rule.
If a D1 student athlete decides to transfer from his or her school they shouldn't lose more eligibility for deciding on one D1 school destination versus another.
It isn't fair to the student athlete.
And the additional transfer restrictions for internal B1G transfers gives D1 athletic programs outside of the B1G an advantage over 13 B1G athletic programs every time a B1G student athlete decides to transfer from their current school.
This is an issue for all B1G sports that are played by both men and women. It is not just a wrestling issue.
