I think it was more of a frustration thing than anything else. He played in every game as a freshman but missed a month this past season due to a knee injury. Saw limited action after returning from said injury.
Of course the arrogant assholes in Ann Arbor are saying that he didn’t like going to class and that the rigors of their academics made him want to transfer. Also he apparently is lazy and plays with no heart.
I STILL maintain that a player should be able to transfer with no more restriction than a student has to transfer. I.e., probably once but possibly twice if they were doing it early enough to still have time to earn half of their credits from the institution they will graduate from. I wonder how the NCAA could explain this special penalty student athletes face, in terms of not being allowed to participate in a sport when they are otherwise a full-fledged student in good standing?
All student athletes should get one transfer without any penalty. Especially if the NCAA isn't going to compensate them for their talents. After the one then it should be a case by case basis.
One transfer, anywhere, anytime (so long as it’s the off-season) and be immediately eligible. Bama doesn’t want this rule, and Georgia damned sure doesn’t. That’s enough for me to want it, but it’s also the right thing to do.
