While I am glad to get a player like him I just can't get behind the fact that someone is already left the team he played for entered the portal and decided where he is going DURING the season that still hasn't finished yet.
It just seems wrong the way everything has gone so fast in the direction it is.
And while I am glad TAMU is on top of the new way of college athletics I don't like the way it is changing without any supervision.
His coach of all of 3 years, has been FIRED. At a program that's supposedly been "historical", but is now on coach 6 in like 15 years.Quote:

I'll be happy to consult with him on his stache.PhatMack19 said:

Can you transfer to a school mid semester as a regular student?Wicked Good Ag said:
It isn't the issue of one player coming or going and has nothing to do with TAMU.
The process is going to be completely in trouble within the next few years at this rate. And maybe that is free market the way it should be but I can fully believe that within the next couple of years players will be able to transfer IN SEASON as employees
It will likely happen in basketball first
And while amateurism has never really been there in college sports it will get so problematic that college sports may cease to exist entirely other than at maybe 30-50 school in America which will be a shame
You'll like his 2022 WHIP even more. 1.05.TexasLeaguer said:

The NCAA will get rid of the 1-time waiver in the next 2 years. That is what causes so much instability. No source, just too logical not to. Even for the NCAA.
The 1-time Waiver is what gives successful athletes the leverage.CapCityAg89 said:Agsuffering@bulaw said:

I hope not. One time waiver makes sense. It's the one time waiver plus hardship waiver plus exception waiver plus transfer and wait a year that causes so much instability.
There is zero reason not to allow a kid to transfer once if he makes a mistake when he's 17/18.

There is a reason: the program invests in the athlete by bringing him in. The program gets punished by the NCAA if that athlete does not get a degree. Even unsuccessful athletes are allowed to stay long enough to graduate.
Anyways, adult decisions have consequences. An 18 yo gets to vote. He gets to get drafted and ordered to kill people in the next foreign war. If he sticks it in w/o protection, he gets to pay child support for the next 18 years. If he commits a crime, he gets to sit in a cage with other adults even more violent than him. Cry me a river if a desperate coach makes a bunch of unreasonable promises and the athlete is dumb enough to bite.
In the past, programs had far too much power over the athlete. The transfer portal and NIL leveled the playing field. The coach having to re-recruit his stars every year goes too far.
Words, words, words, then you end with that? "The coach having to re-recruit his stars every year goes too far." But war, drafts, and jail, and all the whatnot? But a multimillion dollar paid coach "having to re recruit his stars" is going too far?Quote:
