re: Brandon Kennedy transferring

Moreover, it's fairly questionable whether it's even in Kennedy's best interest to transfer from UA. I don't think it is. I think he's been tampered with and enticed by UT, and possibly AU too. 

This case has nothing to do with Kennedy needing to transfer to another SEC school or scheduled Bama opponent for the purpose of earning his desired graduate degree(s).

This may not be in Kennedy's best interest but that is a decision for him and his family to make. As I said before if this is tampering that is wrong but a different issue. Again I would tend to agree with you that he is being influenced by football but we have no idea. And in the future if some kid graduates and wants to go to A&M for engineering because it is a top 15 program and wants to play Division 1 football I think that they should be able to without restriction. I completely understand that you might disagree with that depending on the circumstances.

Now Saban is doing what is best for the program and I have no problem with that. But I disagree that this is a pandora's box, the numbers don't indicate an influx of intraconference transfers.

I would be for a deadline to decide prior to spring practice but beyond that I think it should be lifted. The argument against lifting the restrictions to me just sounds like a slippery slope fallacy.
