It boils down if you believe all the power belongs to a player to be able to essentially cancel a year and make a transfer for Quitting on his team 1/3 of the way thru a year.

My stance is once a year is started it should be finished. That’s the way I was raised and the way I raise my kids.

I don’t believe both parties benefit from this at all. In fact I think many kids after game 4 have a serious conversation with folks maybe even handlers where tampering is a real problem. I think such talks erode the team atmosphere for many programs and that’s unfortunate.

My solution is the four game rule should only apply to players that are injured Or underclassmen. If a player wants to use a redshirt as a junior or senior they shouldn’t be able to play in any game like it used to be. Tweaking the rule in that way makes a lot of sense to me but quitting something you start is never appropriate in my book.

The power is not and has never completely belonged to the player. And this rule doesnt change that.

I was "raised" the same way. The problem is you nor I are "raising" every kid that plays college football.

The coaches realize that this rule also allows them to see a guy in game action before deciding if hes going to possibly start, contribute or never see the field in a meaningful way going forward. It's not like the player is the only one that has a choice here.

FTR I'm cool with a 1 time transfer rule for immediate playing time. Coaches are salesmen. Salesmen are not always straightforward and honest.

I’ve change over the years and I am now for a one time transfer rule as well.

I disagree with you in the case of A junior or senior that is on track to graduate and hasn’t used their RS. Those players do have all the power and can leave if they choose after 4 games and there is nothing that school can do. In fact that school is stuck having to pay for the rest of their degree because of apr and graduation rates.

I ignored a ton of people during the Gruden days... if you didn’t believe, you got ignored. Ha! 🤔😆🤷🏽‍♂️

(I’ve since taken them all off. It’s all good now.)
