Steven M. Sipple: Moos supports Big Ten's one-time transfer proposal, but has reservations

Bill Moos was raised on a wheat and cattle ranch in eastern Washington. Ranching is hard work with long hours -- generally not a job for snowflakes.

Moos played on the offensive line for Washington State during the late 1960s and early 1970s -- before far too many college sports administrators became a bit too skittish about coaches pushing players too hard.

In short, Moos has an old-school soul. But that doesn't mean he's overly rigid in his stances on new-world issues.

Exhibit A: The third-year Nebraska athletic director supports the Big Ten's proposed legislation that would allow players in every intercollegiate sport to transfer once in their careers without having to sit out a year in residence at their new institution.
