Miami football capitalizing on transfer rules was critical

The problem is that the NCAA cannot seem to come to a consensus on the transfer rule or allowing a player to sell their own likeness. Basically, the NCAA is implying that they do not want players to have autonomy over their own lives. ESPN’s Jay Bilas and Miami attorney Jason Setchen have been champions for the players.

Setchen, whose Twitter handle is @AthleteDefender, was Dewan Hernandez‘s attorney when the 6’11 center was suspended for, what Bilas reported, was accepting a paid hotel room to attend a camp. The NCAA is still the old boys club wanting to protect it’s own.

An anonymous NCAA Athletic Director texted Auerbach earlier this week confirming that the lack of a consensus on these hot button issues is hurting their membership.

"“The NCAA membership really needs to get a handle on what our philosophy is on transfers. Do we want the kids to be able to leave easily or not? Do we want them to play now or just in nonrevenue/Olympic sports?”"

Auerbach brilliantly closed her article by stating “the best anyone can hope for is the pendulum to swing their way. For a few months.” There is not a program in college football that had “the pendulum swing their way for a few months in the transfer portal than the Miami football program did. It was not by accident.

Hard work, dedication and giving players a chance who were not wanted by their previous college football homes made up for the plummeting 2018 signing class by the Miami football program.

Diaz temporarily plugged the gap of talent the Miami football program had. The Hurricanes were prepared to sign transfers when the opportunity arose.
