What's your take on.....

5th year grads and the near free agency they get if they complete their undergraduate degree?

Should they be allowed to transfer to any school they wish without sitting a year?

Yes they should be rewarded for graduating. This rule makes sense to me. If a kid can transfer at will after one year of college that would be trouble. But if the kid has another eligible year and graduated already they should be rewarded without having to sit a year.

Think of it this way, If they had to sit out another year after graduating, colleges like UNC would have to come up with programs like a Doctorate in African Studies or something like that to make it worth their while.

Yes.

If they choose not to go to that school for a master's degree, then they are no longer an active student and should not be held under the undergrad school's grasp.

I dont think players should be able to but it is what it is. Ive been saying for a long time it should be a mandatory one year sit out rule except if there is a coaching change. I believe if the coach leaves/is fired players should be able to transfer and play right away. Every other situation, the player must sit out.

I'm fine with that .These players have already lost a year when they transferred. Would like to see them actually get a graduate degree, or actually be making strides toward this degree. That whole concept is a bit fuzzy.

Yes and the rule that they must go to a school that offers a graduate major that their current school doesn't offer should be scrapped as well. Coaches are free to move about the globe, why not college graduates??
