SEC Spring Meetings Off To Contentious Start

As expected, the SEC's Spring meetings in Destin have not been a dog-and-pony show, with several major issues up for discussion.

Graduate Transfers

Saban, among others, expressed concern that the SEC's present policies place the conference at a competitive disadvantage relative to other conferences. Graduate transfers, satellite camps immediately arose for Saban. And, with respect to transfers, he does seem to have a point. The SEC scrutinizes graduate transfers moreso than undergrad transfer.

The rule requires transfers to have two years of eligibility remaining and a waiver for any player attempting to transfer after being disciplined at his previous school, as was the case for Golson.
