Timing is critical for SEC players wishing to transfer, especially if they want to find a new home in the conference. While there has been some debate about when athletes can and cannot transfer inside the SEC, Kirby Smart is one of those who believes the present regulations should be upheld.
On Wednesday, Smart expressed his support for the SEC’s February 1 deadline for athletes who wish to transfer within the conference. Smart told reporters at the Celebrity Pro-Am golf tournament in Hoover that he would want to see the deadline made permanent to decrease the amount of back and forth between SEC teams following spring practice.
“I believe it is critical that we do not compete for roster spots during the spring season. Smart remarked, “I don’t think it’s very good for our league.” “It’s definitely helpful for other leagues because some coaches outside of our league have told me they hope we preserve it because it allows them to recruit SEC players. It’s something that’s been around for a while, and I support it.
