Prospect Info: 47OA: Brady Cleveland

I've been a big supporter of BC but this is now his 3rd team in 3 years. He may just need to hit the minors and see what happens.
I consider his last season a success. He scored his first goal since he was 15 years old.

(He’ll never play an NHL game)
 
Hope he hits the ground running. Wonder what pushed him out of Colorado.

Could just be timing. A number of players are leaving CC to start their pro careers and a few others hitting the portal. In addition to BC, "Officials with the Tigers confirmed CC top-line sophomore winger Zaccharya Wisdom and sophomore defenseman Tyler Dunbar entered the portal."
 
The portal sucks.

It's hard to fathom that the NCAA went from "we're suspending a coach for life because his players traded team trinkets for tattoos" to "everyone is a paid mercenary."

My opinion is that the NCAA needs to reinstate having to sit out a year when transferring. That would give the players some pause on whether transferring for an NIL deal really is the best thing for their career and development.

Surely not allowing them to play for a year is best for their career and development

The NCAA has lost every single case that has gone in front of the courts. They steal money from players and restrict their movement, so it's a good thing this has finally come to an end. The original sin of the NCAA is it said athletes are students and not employees. Since they are not under any sort of employment contract like athletes who play professional sports the players can go wherever they like.

I do agree that players moving from one school to another year after year doesn't clearly benefit anyone, but it's a logical outcome of the NCAA's corrupt policies which have been terminated by the courts. At some point the NCAA will be forced to embrace binding contracts, but that is probably several years away.

yeah I don't think anyone would disagree that this whole thing has become a mess at this point but the NCAA has only themselves to blame for having to be dragged kicking and screaming to actually paying the players they make so much money off of

eventually things will settle down more but the chaos was inevitable because of how unwillingly this all came about

Would you propose the same prohibitive movement for coaches?
