In that case, why couldn't LSU just recruit a talented QB to begin with, instead of messing with transfers?

Oh wait. Nevermind ...
You're attempting to troll, but that is the actual issue. And it doesn't have to be LSU vs A&M.

Team A (LSU in this case) is strong but badly needs 1 player. Team B (A&M) has a player that has proven he fits the bill, but is hard-pressed to compete with Team A even with that guy.

So- Team A raids Team B for the player. He starts, Team A does in fact win, and the pathway is there.

Team B can get players, but until and unless they have a breakout season (hard to do continuously replacing 1 yr starters), they will be under siege by the upper echelon teams. B's coach can try to sell the QB that he will bring in a new defensive coach to fix things, but that requires a bunch of players on defense to all do better... or else the QB can move elsewhere where things are in place, and step right into a better spot (for him).

Oh, ok. I thought you were trolling as well. So you were being serious...

I don't think the transfer rules once a player is in the program is really the issue here. Teams still get players to transfer even with the "sit out a year" rule.

This is more about lying to recruits In order to get them on campus to begin with. That false pretense could nullify the LOI
