Yea, it is, and I don't have a huge issue with it. Personally, I'd probably let the kid go where he wants. I'd be pretty disappointed if he chose Auburn or Tennessee, but other than that I'd wish him well.

Ideally you hope it works out the best for everyone involved. And there are literally over 100 different FBS schools he could choose form, or like over 45 P5 schools that he can go too.

I just disagree with the idea that they've earned something by getting a degree. It sounds to me like the school has upheld it's side of the deal, has supported and done what is needed to get them a degree as promised. And the schools fulfillment of the deal somehow means the player has earned the right to disregard the remainder of their side of the deal.

Seems backwards to me in the thinking, but it seems to be the way people think about it(I did at first until I thought about it more).

I get that it's a big accomplishment for the kid to graduate that early and all that, but I don't get why it's supposed to be rewarded at the expense of the school and program that made it happen.

Nor do I really see any kids being done wrong.
