oops, how do i change a thread title? Suppose to say NCAA may force hardship transfers to sit out a year.

 

[Tim1406]

Don't change it. It's a great title if only it were satire! but i understand the need to keep titles representative of what the thread is about

Only GH Admin can. In all honesty, I think it would be a good idea if the NCAA took a year off.

NCAA may be forced to sit out a year

I wonder if it's because of grades.

I wonder if it's because of grades.

It's most certainly not due to competence.

EDIT: Read the proposal. Totally agree with it. Would still allow for some abuse in the form of 6 years to play 4, but a step in the right direction for folks who it legitimately applies to.

Almost positive you can just click edit post.

Just tested it with a thread I started and it worked. Just have to click advanced after clicking edit post.

I think there is a time limit as I've done the same after the fact. The only thing that would change would be the bold header in the text.

I just changed (and changed back) the title of the Jarvis Johnson thread that I started years ago.

EDIT: Looks like it worked. You can see my obvious edit in parentheses.

Actually I'm right. The name of the thread didn't change just the bold header. Another example is my thread in the test forum.

Oh weird, I thought it appeared the same in both spots. My bad.

I agree with having a hard and fast rule that applies to everyone, whatever that rule may be. But this proposal still does not seem to address the Rakeem Buckles situation (inconsistent/unpredictable results from APR-related transfers), nor graduate transfers (which seems to be the largest or at least most visible group).

 

[HOOP DREAMS]

The more I see the more these hardship wavers are too hard for the NCAA to decipher between bs (most common) and legit...

Changing the hardship rule is a no-brainer. I never understood how/why if a kid had something dramatic going on in his life that required him to move closer to family, that playing a college sport at the same time made sense. If something that significant is going on, then the kid should be red shirting and have some freedom to miss games/practices to deal with the pressing family matter.
