Didn't mean to imply that they couldn't get an MA from a different non-rival college. Youre right. They certainly can.
We'll just have a difference of opinion on if a full release should be given upon graduation. I dont really have a problem with it.

Unfortunately this seems to be a yearly occurrence. Assistants leave for promotions elsewhere in the conference, and guys lower on the depth chart want to follow with a grad transfer.
Ultimately I am happy the kid has his degree and it is his prerogative to take his talent to play eleshere. But a part of me is irritated to see it somewhere in the SEC. Especially a kid as talented as Kennedy. If injuries don't derail his career, he may be starting this fall for Alabama.
Alabama's hands may be tied in the end. Even with this initial block, public pressure may win out like it did with Mo Smith. And I still believe that fiasco cost Alabama an additional DB with Sheffield transferring out too (they were both from the Houston metro).

I do disagree -- for all the reasons I mentioned. I think a school should be able to restrict players, including graduates, it has invested in devloping from transfering to schools (to obtain an athletic scholarship from them) within it's conference and on it's schedule during a player's remaining eligibility. Eliminating schools' ability to put reasonable restrictions on transfer releases would open a pandora's box. NCAA rules should not be able to defacto force UA or any institution to develop players for its primary competitors.
