Which is why the rule needs to be looked at closely. Freddy is an extreme example, but the rub on this thing to me has always been that the big boys could use the little guys as a farm system. I'm not sure that's what college basketball is about. More power to the Mercer guys, most of them being seniors, and I suspect a few of them also had the chance to jump ship and didn't, and then did something very special in the tournament.
I'm struggling with this based on the fact of if these guys are getting graduate level educations, let them go wherever they want to.
Perhaps, and I dont know if the NCAA can have this kind of pull, force the school to use normal grad school acceptance rules rather than watering it down (I'm assuming they are doing this) so then you really only have those that are seriously capable to be graduate school students making the move. The rest of them are just 5th year seniors milking the education out longer...
