Then drop the "amateur athletics" bullshite and stop the charade of acting like they are regular students.

Grad transfers are supposed to be about furthering their education, not about furthering their football careers. The other school has to show they have programs available for furthering their education etc.

There are plenty of schools they can transfer to as regular students and also play football. There are at the same times schools he is not allowed to play football at.

It's for competitive reasons, and if they can't handle it's the nature of college football, then they can just find other options. Like it or not, while education is a large part of everything, when it comes to football itself - the rules are there for competitive reasons.

It would be in the best interests of education to not limit scholarships at all for example. But for competitive reasons they limit scholarships. The notion that "what's best for the kids" trumps all else is total bullshite.

Free agency, which is what this amounts to, even as a reward for getting a degree, is bad for the sport.
