This principled organization caves like a cheap card table every time a little bit of pressure is put on it. If you really believe in the rules you're trying to enforce you don't cave every time there's a little push back.

I assume it is for everyone (including the Miami Hamilton players).

TJ Peatross has a nice write up from the Holy Grounds Classic I attended last weekend. The article is free & talks about Eric. TJ lists Eric at 6'5" and I think that's more accurate than the 6'3" which was published in the Moeller roster distributed at the event.

I have been off campus for many years (1996), but I really like the UA President. My son is a freshman at UA, and I think the university is under solid leadership in, unfortunately, troubled times. I enjoy President Miller's social media posts. I hope he can bring in more freshmen next year.

"...his finishing above the rim is second to none." 6'0" PG finishing above the rim?! Love it!!!

It would be nice if all the affected schools stood together and said "FU, our kids are playing" and ignored the NCAA.

What a great day in Zips Men’s Soccer / UA history!!! 🥲😊

Ignore the quote. Stupid phone.

I’m also curious as to why Gilbertson was not in this pic. I’m assuming he was on the road recruiting.

There's no turning back the clock. First time transfers will never return to the days of sitting out a season. The only question will be - will the NCAA go back to just letting everyone transfer as they please with no limits and no sitting out? An easy fix to Clarke's problem - if a coach leaves or gets fired, players can transfer with no limits. Everyone else sits a year. It'll never happen...but that's the fix.

the one year "sit out" for an early transfer and immediate play for graduate transfer seemed to work well and appeared to be fair to all parties. Once you start making exceptions and consider things which are malleable like mental health (is he depressed because his GF dumped him or because his parent died) or crime victim status (was his Ipad stolen or was he attacked and robbed), it gets messy and arbitrary. And we would be singing a different tune on Zipsnation if it were Sincere Carry who transferred away and then came back to Kent and wanted an exception made for him. I think Pat Forsythe was allowed to play immediately (a lot of good it did the Zips) because his father died.

No loss here. The guy was not worth the bad attitude.
