Coming on to explain the Jarrod Uthoff transfer limitation situation.
the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection

This dude says the kid never talked to him, then says he told the kid to call him if he has second thoughts about it when the kid told him he was leaving. That sounds like they talked about it. Then he proceeds to whine about how, as a coach, he's left out of the process after the kid wants to leave. Just let him leave, you big douche.

What would Bo Ryan do if a woman broke up with him?
Mikes,
Would Bo Ryan try to restrict what other men a woman could see until she explained to him why she left him? Sounds like it. One of you should give him a hug and a pat on the shoulder and tell him, as gently as possible, to grow up and get over it.
Thanks,
j

From what I remember hearing
From what I remember hearing
From what I remember hearing on Mike and Mike, Bo blocked him from all of the B1G (standard), but also ALL of the ACC ("because of the chance Wisconsin would play against him in the B1G/ACC challenge in the next few years"), Marquette (because they are local/scheduled), and Iowa State.
April 19th, 2012 at 11:20 AM |
Exactly.
Exactly.
MIchigan blocking Smotrycz from schools on the schedule for the next 2 years is not that big a deal because the schedule is not even set yet. The only extra schools that included for Smotrycz was Iowa St, Arkansas, West Virginia, and Arizona. Our B1G-ACC opponents for the next 2 years are not even set yet, and theoretically, we could still draw Maryland sometime in the next 2 years in the Challenge.
Ryan blocking the ENTIRE ACC and randomly Iowa State is what makes this situation different. I can understand why he blocked Marquette (intrastate rival) and the B1G.
April 19th, 2012 at 10:33 AM |
Didn't Bo restrict guys from going to entire conferences?

The schools other than the Big Ten that are restricted are probably 5-8 major teams and a lot of mid-majors. Not exactly the end of the world

It's pretty much a Big Ten rule that you can't get a scholarship at another Big Ten school if you transfer.

That rule has just recently been changed.
That rule has just recently been changed.
You can now receive a scholarship at another B1G school after transfer. But I think it will now be standard operating procedure to block transfers within conference. That part is not unusual.
April 19th, 2012 at 10:58 AM |
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
At least Beilein's conditions were rational. Ryan's sound like he either used a dartboard or figured out what schools Uthoff would be interested in and kiboshed them out of spite.
I understand the Big Ten thing, and sorta agree with it. As long as the rest of the conference is doing the same thing, you almost have to do it to avoid being at a competitive disadvantage.
Ultimately, though, if players already have to sit out a year, they should be able to go wherever they want. The best thing about Ryan being a prick about it, and appearing to choose schools for his "list" solely to hurt Uthoff, is that discussions like this one are happening in a lot of places.

As far as I'm concerned, Christian & Brundidge could have gone to another Big 10 School. I know they won't ever change the rule, but if someone has less than some threshold of minutes in the season, say less than 5% of total game minutes, I'd be ok with them going pretty much anywhere.

I thought I had head somewhere that the penalty for an athlete transferring form one B1G school to another was an additional year of sitting out. If that isn't enough to discourage a kid just let him go ffs.

If you transfer from one Big

If you transfer from one Big Ten school to another you sit out the required year per the NCAA, but the Big Ten has a policy where you aren't allowed to be on scholarship. Boren for example, paid for his years at TSIO with his lucrative Snow Plow business

Dackich was on the radio before Ryan and mentioned that the only time he went above and beyond the B1G's no B1G rule was when players had been tampered wtih and contacted by other schools. He banned those schools and contacted the NCAA about the impermissable contact..
