Can’t blame the young man for wanting to maximize his position. Big college football programs use these kids as cogs in their money making machines. If a cog gets hurt or doesn’t work out, they get another and keep perfectly good cogs on the shelf. That means the athlete never shines and gets recognized. There are a dearth of viable QBs in the NFL these days and in the immediate future. If it is the aspiration of this young man to be on an NFL team and make the big bucks, he should transfer, choose wisely ,play and show what he has.
I will never understand why players are content to go to the big time programs and sit the bench while they could be a starter at a hundred other programs. They reap what they sow and I don’t feel sorry for them.
However, I do believe that there should be a rule that if they haven’t had X number of minutes of playing time at their current school they should be allowed to transfer without any penalty whatsoever. This should especially be true for their first two years. Many of the big time programs warehouse these kids so they won’t have to compete against them. This should not happen. If they have academic problems upon graduation from high school, the JUCOs serve as the warehouse for the entire NCAA. By some miracle, after spending two years at a JUCO, they are suddenly academically eligible. We all know this isn’t so. Bet if they had to retake the SAT/ACT, they would fail to qualify again.
But, will his first Semester credits transfer too?
If he wants to lead the nation in passing, he will go to WAZZU.
