Muse to return

Ace Dilcock said:
It had been reported that he was likely to come back - good news.

Beamer's chances for immediate success depend on recruiting key players on the current team - and convincing them to return. It will be interesting if players like Sherrod Greene, Aaron Sterling, Keir Thomas (among others) decide to come back. Keeping a lot of the current staff helps with retention.

We need to hold on to our underclassmen as well - they can transfer without sitting out, so that has to be enticing for players on a 2-8 team.

The transfer portal has been one of the biggest mistakes ever created by the NCAA,

I couldn't disagree more. It's at least a push in the direction to give the students an opportunity to go where they have a good fit, or after the staff that recruited them has left. Just like the installation of free agency in baseball, they are no longer the property of who they signed with and have the freedom to move, which is only fair. You may not like it as a fan but the inadequacies and unfairness of making a student athlete lose a year of PT just because they want to transfer was totally slanted in favor of the institution and not the player.

I thought that the rules shoukd have been changed if an cocah leaves the head coach they could transfer, what we're seeing is  a spoiled kids that do not want to compete , to play.    I could understand an grad leaving early, but not an kid to just say hey I want to leave again really don't understand the whole rule, but I think  it has hurt college  football  to the point that this just  an bad look.

I fundamentally don't understand your logic that a 19-year-old shouldn't get the chance to play college football where he wants to play college football without penalty. Don't want your players to leave? Provide them with a place they don't want to leave.

Baffling.

Heath Kline was talking about this on his show today.  He said that there are so many players entering the portal that there will not be enough slots for all of them to go to when all of the dust settles.  I agree, I also think it's a terrible idea.

They have 5 years to play 4 so technically they're not losing a year if they sit out a year.

It's a year where they are forced to not play football, which to me is utter BS, simply because they decided that the school they chose when they were 18 wasn't right for them, or that they will never be higher than 3rd or4th on the depth chart? It's a one-year penalty for deciding to go to another school, one they shouldn't have to pay.

No one is forcing them to transfer.

 
Swayin said:
Of course not. But they shouldn't have to pay a 1-year penalty to do so, IMO.

So the school spends who knows how much money, time, and effort to recruit him and in the process doesn't take some other player in his place and you think it's Ok for him to just renege and go somewhere else without penalty?

Absolutely. Unless you are more worried about money than fairness and personal freedom. Given how much money those players make their universities vs the cost of recruiting them is a huge ROI for one of those two parties, and it ain’t the player.

Fairness?  Personal freedom?  So you don't believe in honoring your commitment?  And I would counter getting a full ride scholarship with all that entails for players is some pretty good compensation.

The player they get to replace the one that leaves gets that same scholarship? There no wasted money. 

Commitment? The coach that recruited him can leave at any time with no penalty- but the player had to eat a year to do so? Pfft.
