I am saying that if he knew RR would be there at any point in his career, he wouldn't have gone to Michigan. This is a moot point, because he doesn't lose a year of his career either way, because he can be redshirted, but say he were a redshirt junior, I don't think it's fair that he'd lose a year of his career for something he can't control.
well thats life, can't control it but you deal with whatever you get. It's not like his career is over, he's going to a QB guru in Petrino and will prob be a first rounder anyways.
I just think it's way unfair for him to lose something so valuable for something he didn't choose to have happen. I am all in favor of people sitting out the year, but I think they should keep their current eligibility.
It's unfair when a highly touted QB goes to a school and sits a season and then the stud of all stud qb's goes there and the first qb never plays. He still has to play by the rules though. If they break the rule this one time, every time a new coach comes in people will be transferring and using this as a precedent. Sometime life deals you a bad hand. You work through it and move on. Of course there's no harm in appealing so I don't blame the guy but there's absolutely no way he gets a waiver. It just won't happen. This is the NCAA, not the girl scouts. They've showed time and time again that they just don't care.
exactly right! kids need to live with their decisions in life just like everybody else. the world is fluid, nobody is going to give you a clean path through life. suck it up, pay your dues like any other transfer would and become a better person from it.
He won't get the waiver, and I know, "fair" is what comes to town once a year, but, a coach can leave whenever he wants with no penalty, come in and a kid who through no fault of his own is odd man out, just not right.
The NCAA should allow kids to transfer without a penalty if a new head coach is hired. To me, if the coaches can transfer without sitting out a year, the players should be able to do so as well if they don't fit in with the new coach. (I know that they can already transfer without a penalty to Div. 1-AA schools.)
I'm with you, new coach, kid should be able to tranfer, or make the head coaches sit out a year. not gonna happen, though
If this happens, college football will turn into the NBA or MLB. Kids jumping around all the time. I'm against it. It's not like the guy's career is over, like Clair said, he won't even lose a year of eligibility. These situations are few and far between when a coach comes in and completely changes the system.
