No transfer penalty for NCAA, who should move to a power team?

There is no transfer penalty for track. Covid 19 had no impact.

Mostly grad transfers from the Ivy leagues in the portal right now. Some other national qualifiers of note are a Kenyan from EKU, Destiny Collins from Texas and Xavier’s top female.

There is a transfer penalty in EVERY sport. There are sports, such as track that have a one time transfer exception. But the athlete has control of that. The school they are leaving controls that.

The losing school has no control. Kid goes in the portal and transfers and is eligible.

It seems that the OP thinks there is a special no penalty transfer policy that doesn't normally exist and that will cause a bunch of transfers to big name programs. But the kids could have done that last year or the year before without sitting.. Most kids are probably better to stay put because if they are a returning senior, the scholarship won't count but it would if they transfer. The big programs don't have extra scholarships laying around or they wouldn't be a great program.

Hannah Steelman (finished one spot behind Chmiel at nationals) will be transferring to NC State.

Who is Bobby Gills?

He’s probably joking. I can’t find anything on him in Milesplit or even Google.

Plus, NC state is nowhere near as good on the men’s side.

Incorrect. The school an athlete leaves can still deny the one time transfer exemption and make that athlete sit a year. The portal only removed the ability for a school to block who a leaving athlete talks to. Now, with the portal, they can essentially self release to speak to any school and that school can give them a scholarship. However, the school they are leaving can still deny the right to compete immediately. If that is done, the athlete can appeal but no guarantee they win. The school they are going to then has to decide if they want to scholarship that kid to sit a year before they can compete. This is a very common misconception about the portal.

While this is true, from why I’ve been told it’s very easy to get around your school from trying to block you. More often than not when the athlete appeals, they will win. Sometimes it takes multiple appeals though. Just putting this out there so runners understand that the restrictions their coach may put on them, isn’t the final word. May take some extra work, but if you really want to go to a school that’s being blocked, then it will be worth it.

You're making statements you don't have the info on. Each school is different in appeals. You can't say it's very easy when it's situational. I've seen quite a few of these appeals and now often than not, they are denied. The appeals committee are employees of the school. You can appeal to the NCAA after that if you want but unless you have extenuating circumstances, the NCAA is not likely to overturn.

99% of track athletes compete immediately. I challenge you to provide 5 names of people who were denied.

I'm not going to produce names of athletes I coached that were not released but I have had 3 myself that transferred in, were not released, appealed, and were denied so they sat. I blocked one myself that left and had to sit.

A pretty recent NCAA champ had to sit after transferring.

You can believe whatever you want to believe and that's fine but the point stands that schools can still deny you the one time exception with the portal.

I believe that you had some in the past but not since the portal was created. 99% are now being approved.

Garnica (BYU), could transfer to CU and work with another living legend...

hangout at the Catholic coffee shop near campus and meet the ladies.

The rich get richer. Chmiel, Steelman, and one of the best incoming freshmen classes in history. If there is xc in the fall, they could destory everyone in their wake. It'll be like Gogeta vs Janemba, but photoshop Tuohy's face over Gogeta's face.

The wimping of collegiate athletes. Man up, you choose a school... stick it out.
