    Institutional control

    http://msn.foxsports.com/collegebask...ransfer-041912

    Expected to contribute...is that the problem? Color me skeptical that Bo Ryan would stand by these same principals for the guy who gets no playing time.

    Bo Ryan's taking a lot of heat here but I don't see why. He's been granted the power to limit a kid from transfering and he's using it. Change the rule if you want

    Ditto.

    Every single school has done this at one time or another in either football or basketball. Check the record for your favorite school before you go casting stones. The NCAA is the one who is allowing schools and Conferences to do this for the revenue-generating sports (yet there are no such restrictions for sports like baseball, track, etc...)

    Folks, right now, it is pretty much the sports media doldrums until the NBA Playoffs get cooking. The media is looking for a story to fill time. The only reason that this has filled the void is because of how poorly Ryan, and the Wisconsin S.I.D. have handled the media over the last 7 days.

    I didn't realize this rule didn't apply to all sports. Nice contribution...

    ESPN loves to cheer for the underdog thus their slanted coverage of this issue. I can recall the ESPN legal experts saying yrs ago that it was illegal for the NFL to restrict who's eligible to play in their league. All we needed was a player to challenge it. Well that happened and we now know what that legal advice was worth. At this time last yr we were debating the lockout and whether it was legal. After Judge Roberts declared it illegal for 24 hrs, legal experts like Lester Munson opined that it would not be overturned on appeal and the three judge panel did exactly that.

    Has anyone heard a talking head on ESPN support coach Ryan and Wisconsin on this?

    Re: Institutional control

    I have not heard one talking head at the world wide sports leader support Wisconsin or Ryan.

    As I said earlier, there is more to this than what the media is saying, Wisconsin is saying, and even the player is saying.

    As an IU fan that grew up following the Hoosiers and Knight, players seemed to always transfer out of the program and Knight didnt seem to care one bit and let them go. However, there was one instance involving Lawerence Funderburke that made me scratch my head when it happened. It was the 89-90 season. Funderburke was a freshmen and was starting and being quite productive, right before semester break he quit the team and wanted to transfer. Indiana would not let him go to Missouri. I didnt understand it at all, why block him from going to the Tigers? Rumor had it that Funderburke was good buddies with Travis Ford, who was a freshmen at Mizzou. Speculation was that Norm Stewart, coach at the time, had Ford whispering in Funderburke's ear and that Bobby caught wind of it......thus IU wouldnt let him go to Mizzou. Funderburke ended up at Ohio State and Ford transferred to UK and that even brought on more rumors!!!!!!!! Another story.

    My point is that some of these issues we will never know. In this case as one poster said understanding about Marquette but not Iowa St. On the surface it makes no sense, but IU to Missouri made no sense to me at the time either.

    I think it is a dumb rule.....but I would imagine the people at Wisconsin have their reasons for doing such. And that is their rite.

    You make some good points, but its not like he blocked 1 or 2 non conf school and the Big10, which would be pretty reasonable. He blocked an entire other conference on the off chance that they "may" play each other in the ACC/Big 10 challenge. With that logic of "may play", he may as well block every single BCS school bc they "may play" in the ncaa tournament.
    Newsflash!

    Re: Institutional control

    Funny that Ryan used the term "particular institution." I had a professor in college that used that term to describe slavery.

    I understand Ryan blocking him from going to another Big 10 school but the rest just seems vindictive. And it will hurt him in recruiting down the road.

    This is nothing new.

    Miami did the same thing with Robert Marve a few years back. They banned him from transferring to any school in Florida (where he was from), and any school in the ACC and SEC.

    Marquette is obvious because the two schools play each other during the season. Not so sure about Iowa State though. I'd guess and say he will likely end up at Creighton, since I've read he wants to move back to Iowa and that's the only school that he can get into (unless the NCAA appeal works).

    Re: Institutional control

    I file this one under "just because you can doesn't mean you should." It's bad enough that athletes have to sit out a year if they transfer, although I understand why that rule exists. But truthfully, if a player wants to transfer and is willing to observe the NCAA requirements with respect to sitting out, I don't think it's any of his current coach's business to say where he can or can't go.

    agreed. Although, it's kind of fitting for a program know for it's desire to "control possessions"

    I can't say as I disagree with you but that's not how the rule is written. If I read next month that the NCAA changed the rule and after one yr the kid is allowed to go anywhere I'd say fine. I don't love the rule but I don't blame the coach either

    Just because the system allows a guy to do wrong doesn't mean we can't hammer him for not doing right.

    I will say that if a coach has good reason to believe another school has been tampering with his player and encouraging them to transfer -- even if there's no smoking gun that can be turned over to the NCAA -- I can grant ethical grounds for blocking a transfer to that school. But a shotgun prohibition like this just looks petty. And no, it's nothing new. But information flows more freely these days, and a lot of things that happen in college athletics don't look so good when the lights are turned up.

    Re: Institutional control

    Didnt this just happen with Martelli at St. Joe's involving a kid wanting to tranfer to the SEC? I imagine there is more here than meets the eye. But if there aint then shame on Wisconsin and Bo.
