What is he supposed to do kick him to the curb? What are the rules on him transferring to another SEC team? Is it still against the rules or did the change them? That is the narrative I am waiting to see. What if he wants to go to UF and can Kirby block that or try to?


The NCAA doesn't care what the coach wants anymore but I'm not sure if the SEC updated its rules to specifically clarify that coaches can still prohibit certain transfers.

I think the coach/school can still prohibit transfers. A big deal was made about Dabo giving one of his players a free and clear release to transfer to USC this year. That would not have been a big deal if he had no power to prevent it.

Which means Fields will not be playing in the SEC.

It is one of the strangest things I have seen. Kirby is kind of between a rock and hard place. Without Fields suited up, we are without a legit QB to run the offense. Fromm is 1 play away from having the 3rd string QB running the offense. With Fields suited up, he gets in the game and one last run with UGA. Perhaps he stays, perhaps not. Least we have a decent backup for the Sugar Bowl.
