He lambasted the NCAA grad transfer rule several times, and teams that take advantage it, saying it's not used to benefit the academics of the student-athlete, it's being used by coaches to fill roster needs.
Yet, he will sing the praises of John Calipari all night long. His system of bringing in countless one-and-doners is perfectly within the rules, but talk about a rule having nothing to do with academics for the student-athlete. Geesh.
Dickie usually doesn't rub me the wrong way, but I feel the grad transfer rule is much less harmful to kids. If a kid gives several years to an institution and then wants to go play for a winner his final year, after he graduates, I have no problem with that.
