Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Gators need for quarterback more apparent than ever

This rule is interesting for the SEC, the NCAA allows graduate transfers with no restrictions.  The only NCAA penalty is a reduction in APR points if they don't make academic progress.  I would surmise it is unusual for the SEC to place its institutions at a  competitive disadvantage, Alabam must not like this rule...

This is the only thing I could find on the SEC rule 
"the rule requires the player to make progress toward a graduate degree. If that doesn't happen, the university won't be able to apply the grad-student exception in that athlete's sport for three years."

Florida has only had Jake McGee from Virginia and the OL from Fordham last year as a grad transfer in football.  So the question is, which one didn't go to class?  Also, the SEC does have a process to receive a waiver to eliminate the three year ban.

1 - It IS accurate.

2 - Stidham, who our coaches had the in-home visit with, is a transfer candidate, but NOT a grad transfer.

I have seen several places where it is suggested that Florida is unable to take any more graduate transfers for a few years.  I suspect strongly that this is not accurate because the coach made an in-home visit with one yesterday.  Why would he have wasted the time and money to recruit someone who would not be allowed to play?
