Masters Degree transfer rule

[lowposter]

The more I think about this Masters Degree transfer rule, the more it seems similar to the salary cap in professional sports.  Stick with me on this.

You have one scholarship left, perhaps due to a player leaving the program.  What do you do with it?  Is there an incoming freshman flying under the radar that you can use it on?  By May, that seems improbable.  Most of the known talent has been signed.  

Go the Juco route?  That is a possibility, with certain risks involved.

Go out of the country?  More risks.

So, you "sign" a player to a one year deal.  Your "salary cap" is hit for only one year.  You can recruit all summer and fall for a high school player to fill that spot in one year.  Your risk is minimized to only one year.  You dont stretch for a player.  You end up with:
1.  A college player with 2 and more than likely 3 years experience.
2.  A young man or woman with a certain level of maturity (age 22 or over).
3.  A player without any educational risk.


This will be an interesting rule.  Watch certain schools really use this to their advantage.

Just my thought.
