OT: Lincoln Riley Is A Scumbag

[Tad Footeball]

Attempting to block/reduce eligibility of a freakin' grad transfer. I'm against unfettered free agency in college football but if a kid earns a degree then he should have every right to go WHEREVER he wants without restriction.

That's ****ed up

What's his reason behind this other than spite?

Starting to get a little heat on Twitter for trying to block grad transfer Kendall from certain schools and keep him from playing in ‘19. Think this affects Hurts ?

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

You see that Jalen? Riley is a douche. You don't want to play for a guy like that.

He's either an insecure prick or is a moron that thinks it'll set a precedent that allows his graduated players to run to other Big 12 schools and immediately share alllll of his secrets.

You benefitted from Baker getting an extra year of eligibility, but you're gonna stop a grad transfer (that you're trying to actively replace) from leaving unless he loses a year? I get it since they play each other, but still a scumbag move

 

[CANEMC]

Forward to Hurts. Do your part!

 

[Theedy50]

This is BS... You’re pursuing a Grad Transfer QB but you’re blocking your own Grad Transfer QB from pursuing another opportunity? That’s just plain ole nasty.

I thought coaches can't block any transfers anymore, especially grad transfers?

 

[Mico Jones]

He’s transferring in conference.

Cutthroat move but understandable.

I don’t blame him. Wish our coach was as ruthless.

This is fvcked up, especially because he didn't had any chance at starting at OU.

For the lazy crowd that won't read, they are blocking a intra conference transfer, he could go and play immediately outside the BIG 12

Is that only for their conference? I've read coaches cannot block transfers, especially grad.

Absolutely 100% agree if they graduated.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

What a f#cking snake. Seems like the kind of guy who'd promise a grad transfer qb that he'd get a fair shot to be the starter, then stash that qb on the bench for depth while he starts his handpicked 5 star freshman qb.

 

[BostonCane]

I thought they passed a rule that if you graduate you can go anywhere you want?

 

[Captain Uberpants]

Makes me think they aren’t getting Hurts.

Conference rule. They can’t block the transfer but he has to sit out a year in conference if his coach blocks his eligibility.

Riley could let him be eligible at WVU this year, but conference rules allow him to block his eligibility for this year so he would have to sit out this year at WVU

I don't agree with this, if you don't think a guy is good enough to start for your team let him go play elsewhere. One thing if the player was an ***, but that was not the case, the guy is sitting since 2015 waiting for a shot

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

That's exactly what he should do. West Virginia is a conference opponent.

Not to a conference opponent where he could hurt your chances next year not to mention he has knowledge of your playbook.
