You can argue, as many sincere, intelligent people do, that the rule is bad and needs to be abolished. I sincerely hope that repealing the rule and implementing free transfers for all is on the agenda at the SEC Meetings in Destin next spring, and that we get to hear all 14 coaches, not just Saban, clarify their position on whether they want to give up the right to block transfers from certain destinations. I wonder what that vote would look like.

In the meantime, the SEC does have rules, rules that were put in place for a reason, not simply to be ignored on a case-by-case basis.
