I believe tech should have given him a scholarship a bit quicker. I mean they had him on campus, they wouldn't get deal done with him, and he goes on to win Heisman and be a top draft pic lol. That's how tech do

Assuming you are referring to Mayfield, he had to sit for one year before playing for OU.

Lincoln probably called fatty and said he’d let the kid transfer but he wanted a player in return. Fatty had nothing to offer so Lincoln will shop the kid to other programs until he gets something he wants. If I were him I’d start with a kid that can tackle.

Good for Riley. This college transfer thing has gotten completely out of hand. Players get their feelings hurt they transfer. Players don't start they transfer. If they wont to transfer let them but make them sit out a year.

He was not liked in the locker room and KK hadMahomes coming up and Mayfield couldn’t lace Mahomes shoes.

I’m saying I guess the kid if he went from zero u to Tech would he not have to set out a year also . And it sounds like zero u wants a double standard if someone wants to transfer there from the conference it’s ok but they don’t want any of their players to leave for another school in the conference.

they are playing when they are taking the classes

they are kids
being pressured by adults who are professional manipulators


They are being paid with free education and there contract is free education to play a game. They should learn to keep their word. I guess now companies should be forced to give some of its profits if a employees makes more money than thought before the contract was signed for free education for playing a game

Allowing this could open up a huge can of worms. What if 50% of the kids wanted to transfer 1 week before season started?


If half the kids don’t want to play, they don’t have to play. No one is forced to play. And half of a team deciding not to play would indicate some systemic issue other than 50 kids deciding one week before the season to play somewhere else, don’t you think?

I don’t understand the point. Kids decide to transfer in the middle of the season all the time. They don’t get to show up the next week for their new team. That’s not how it would work. They stop playing for the first team and probably withdraw from school and show up next summer for their new school.

Regardless, out of principle, that’s not a good reason to refuse a kid a transfer, and delaying their playing for the new team by a year is senseless. There is no good reason for it. But, if a coach can quit for a better job and coach the very next season, why do kids have to wait or get permission to play somewhere else? Coaches recruit defensively all the time, meaning they bring in a kid so he doesn’t go somewhere else in conference. Sometimes a school or program isn’t a good fit. Sometimes the coach that recruited them leaves. Sometimes another player takes their spot.

They’re not slaves, man. They can make decisions and change their mind. All sorts of things can change. Why aren’t coaches required to fulfill their contract? Why are schools allowed to fire coaches three years into a five year deal? Shouldn’t the adults make better choices than an 18 year old?

This is a ridiculous stance that reeks of authoritarianism and hatred of college athletics. Oh, and the free classes aren’t free. It’s in exchange for their play. Additionally, not all players get scholarships. Are you ok with non-scholarship athletes transferring?
