Tom Izzo believes this new transfer rule would help eliminate "dirtbag" tampering

Being a head coach in the current college basketball landscape can't be an easy task. Every year, you're forced to recruit your own players to make sure they don't leave via the transfer portal, and this is exactly why you always hear Tom Izzo bash the portal and what it's become.

The Spartan head coach had adjusted to life with the transfer portal, and he's landed his fair share of talented newcomers via that avenue, but he's still not a fan.

Izzo is actually one of the most outspoken adversaries to the transfer portal.

So when he appeared on Jon Rothstein's podcast on Thursday, you just knew the portal would be brought up, and Izzo echoed the same sentiment he always does. But he also agreed with a John Calipari-proposed rule change, saying that it would stop a lot of the nonsense surrounding the transfer portal, including the "dirtbags" who are tampering every year.

Here's what the rule change would be:

Basically, Izzo and Calipari are both in favor of a one-time transfer rule with no penalty. Players would be allowed to transfer one time and be immediately eligible, but every transfer after that would force them to sit out for a season.

The old transfer rule forced every single transfer to sit out for a year, but that has since gone away, and now offseasons are like the wild, wild west.

This rule, according to Izzo, would fix a lot of the sport's issues.

I'm assuming he would want that carried over to football and every NCAA sport, too. It's an interesting change that I agree would fix a lot of the tampering and transfer issues.

Calipari and Izzo should propose this idea to the NCAA.
