As the Texas Tech Red Raiders prepare to take on the Virginia Cavaliers in tonight’s NCAA Championship game, some in the NCAA want to change a rule which has benefited Tech this season. A proposal to add extra restrictions on graduate students in football and basketball will be voted on in a couple of weeks.
The proposed rule change would require that colleges accepting graduate transfers be docked a scholarship the next year if the transfer does not earn his secondary degree within a year.
If the rule is passed an athlete like Matt Mooney might not find themselves in a position to finish their career at another school after finishing an undergraduate degree.
