College athletics has just about lost me. I mean, I know this will make the team I cheer for better, but it's just stupid. Realistically how far are we from guys leaving in the middle of the season and joining another team immediately? Sounds crazy but it feels like we're closer to that than we are to the old "transfer and sit" rules.

As long as athletes are still student athletes that's going to be difficult but I can imagine in the near future that distinction being eliminated completely.

Imagine Davante Adams deciding to trade himself to the Chiefs in early November.

Agree 100%.

All this makes Coach Saban’s retirement seem so ….. well, ….. understandable.

Frankly, I suspect we are only a few MONTHS from seeing athletes (and not just a few) play the first 3-4 games at one school, and surface at a second program for the last few regular season games and the P_ayoffs.

The whole thing is just off the rails. :-(
