Whether Alan Griffin, a transfer from Illinois, will have the ability to suit up for Syracuse basketball in the 2020-21 campaign remains a mystery.
That’s because the NCAA, an often-criticized group which in all fairness has a lot on its plate right now, can’t quite seem to sort everything out.
On the one hand, a few days ago, the NCAA took an important step toward allowing student-athletes to profit from their own name, image and likeness in the future – even if many questions remain over the NCAA’s proposal on this topic.
Another big-time issue that affects the status of Griffin, and countless others, is whether the NCAA will modify its transfer rules so that student-athletes in all collegiate sports, including basketball and football, can transfer once with immediate eligibility.
