OT: Lincoln Riley Is A Scumbag

[TexasCane90]

Thats a POS coach for ya lol

He has what it takes to win... just hope this gets used against him negatively crootin wise

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

So at Miami it's win at all costs, but Oklahoma's coach is supposed to care about peoples' feelings?

Yes. Exactly. We’re fans of Miami. Fūck everybody else.

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

Somebody tweet him.

Or whatever it is you crazy kids do these days.

Why not? Conferences shouldn't be completely governed at every turn by the NCAA.

People always complain about the restrictive oversight of the NCAA. This is a great example of a conference having some autonomy in its rules within conference.

People complain about the incompetence and unequal oversight of the NCAA. Allowing conferences to set their own standards on this kind of stuff only exacerbates the overall dog and pony show- especially when everyone on the conference and NCAA level still gives lip service to the grand notion of "student-athletes".

I find it petty that any coach would deny a transfer to a player.

The head coach has to think about his own program first. You want to transfer to UCLA? Best wishes, son. A conference opponent? No dice.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Richt = too nice, you don't want to play for a guy who isn't a savage

Riley = guy is a prick, you don't want to play for a guy who puts the program first

 

[miamifan007]

Shouldn't be denying Grad transfers IMO.

 

[Crimpy]

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.

Especially when he's pursuing (and getting) Jalen Hurts.

Actually, it should be, "Best of luck for whatever program you transfer to".

 

[Hoyacane1620]

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

Me too.

Lincoln also had Baker and Kyler, who were both transfer players.

 

[canesplaymaker]

Me too.

It's a big 12 thing. Most conferences do not allow blocking anymore

Should the NCAA also set admission standards across the board for every institution to follow? Wouldn't that help set the "equal playing field"too? That way certain schools can't say say no to a recruit who has gained the necessary admissions for the Clearinghouse, but not a particular school.

Maybe set standards the amount of money each school can allot to their facilities, to include their stadium. Maybe that would work also.

Maybe determine their uniforms and shoes selections also.

There are far greater concerns than this.

How many championships has this created for the Big 12?

One could argue it hurts the Big 12 more than it helps. So nobody in the conference benefits from this.

Unless he wants to take care of his own program, which he is getting paid to do.

And he's also getting paid to be the face of the program, which blocking a transfer makes him look petty and will probley cost him a recruit or two.

At least now you agree that he should put the program first. Apparently he has decided that losing a phantom recruit is better than letting a QB go to a conference opponent.

a 3rd string QB at that who has no chance starting at Oklahoma this year.

It's 1% about his talent and 99% about what he knows.

 

[Canes2082]

Why block him? if you don't think he's good enough to start for you what do you have to worry about

 

[Tit-e-skr]

Ok. But he may start at WV. Riley is smart to hurt his opponents. His job isn't to help them, especially with the most important position on the field.
