I would assume you restrict contact with The Citadel because its easier to make a blanket restriction to all non-conference opponents


Yes, this makes sense to me. You restrict transfers to any conference team (to avoid poaching), and to any non-conference team we have scheduled.

That's not draconian in the least. If you put no restrictions on it, there would be all sorts of underhanded stuff going on constantly.

It's not just a talent drain; the offensive and defensive playbooks are intellectual property. Players transferring -- especially after spring practice -- have intimate knowledge of the playbook. Even if they didn't play for another team (despite what might have been promised them), they can provide valuable information to the coaching staff.

I think pre-graduation transfers it is totally fine to restrict kids from going to future opponents (or at least future conference opponents).

Once a kid graduates I think they've earned the right to spend that last year wherever they want to go.

JMHO
