Question because I don’t

Can a regular student transfer to a new school mid semester with no penalty or just athletes?

Yes. Regular students can change schools whenever they want. (Though they wouldn't be able to enroll at a new school past a certain point in the semester).

The sit-out rule was ONLY applicable to athletics. Even then, it was really only applicable to (IIRC) football and men's basketball prior to the rule change in 2020.

Bottom line: The rule had been in place for a long time with relatively few challenges. Mostly those challenges were to (rightly) overturn internal rules where coaches were withholding releases under the condition that players were prohibited from transferring to certain schools.

Like many, MANY instances, the NCAA grossly overreacted to the panicdemic and changed the rule..."temporarily". In doing so, they let the toothpaste out of the tube and it is not going back in.

Shrink the roster to about 75 and let’s see how that impacts moves and $$$

What's the cost of a full scholarship- fulltime tuition (in or out of state), room and board, books, and a stipend for spending cash?

Chuck Oliver said BYU has an NIL covering the costs for every walkon, to match the athletic scholarship. He also said their roster (with walkons) is at 134. That's 49 guys who are "walk ons", in name only.

If BYU can do it, I'm pretty confident LSU and the other bigtime SEC and Big 10 schools can do the same or more.

And as he pointed out, that basically eliminates the NCAA's ability to punish by cutting scholarships. Pull 10 per year away for a few years, that's fine. We'll just have 10 guys walk on and get NIL deals to cover it.

The schools that want a kid will make sure they are eligible.
Think Eddy Lacy and a whole lot of other Bama players who were academic stars......

They already are...the portal and nil are making a mockery of college sports.

NCAA should have drafts for each sport..once a year. Limit NIL payments and colleges should eliminate scholarships to NIL recipients.
