Bringing up other schools just seems like a deflection to take the heat of bama. Their president had to personally approve him being admitted if I remember correctly. We will never know if another school would have actually done the same thing. I have seen schools recruit players before, but the player not be admitted by whatever group makes that decision

Bama deserves to get throttled a bit for this. Even most fans were against this signing, and he didn't even last 80 days. He couldn't even abstain through lent from choking a woman.

But this writer is kinda a douche....

Sadly, the ugly matter really goes beyond Alabama. Shouldn't there be a national policy in place that prevents players convicted of felonies -- and those who are accused of such crimes but who haven't yet faced criminal trials -- from transferring to other schools? Sure, people can be rehabilitated and learn from their mistakes, but that doesn't necessarily mean they deserve to play college football and receive a scholarship.

Domestic violence charges I can agree with, key the dust settle before a transfer. But to prevent any kid who catches a felony, you're guaranteeing they are going back to the hood, and probably to commit worse crimes to survive. Kick them/suspend them from the team. But let them stay in school while they try to learn their lesson.
