OT: Lincoln Riley Is A Scumbag

[kalinis]

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.

frankly he wont win and we all k now it but understand it. its In conference to a team play all the time. teams don't want guys going to schools that are on schedule or in conference its why always got blocked before. but frankly riley will lose and public sentiment will force ou to withdraw this block we see it every year

**** Lincoln Riley

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

Still a petty move on Lincoln's part.

Jalen isn't going so he's scared ol punk ***

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

Yes only for their conference.

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

I disagree,, you ain't loosing because your number 3 QB is playing for the other side. Dude could know the play being called that ain't making WVU defense stop that offense

So what? The aim is also to hurt your rival as much as possible as well as discourage other in conference opponents from poaching your roster. I think it’s a wise move.

All this fake outrage because of the JH's drama. You guys wouldn't even notice if not for JH.

Props to Riley for protecting his business. He knows what the QB situation is like at WV.

Blame the conference for not adopting rules of the other conferences.

Really now? Are you against unfettered movement of college football coaches?

 

[GonzoCane]

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

This. The guy is just being a prick to the kid.

There shouldn't be "conference rules" for this type of thing. There should be universal NCAA standards for each level of football.

You assume the NCAA has any shred of credibility as a governing body. The SEC schools paying their top players is almost a running inside joke now

Conference presidents, especially the SEC one, really run things.

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

 

[Tad Footeball]

I'm not having this debate or the "pay da playurrrz!" one right now. And the coach movement isn't exactly unfettered if you consider the buyout aspect.

It's weird that you'd try to go down that rabbit hole with me too here when I'm obviously advocating for MORE player freedom in these instances.

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

Ohhh, I'm not assuming. I'm just saying how it should* be. Yup, the entire governance of college football is a farce.

Cant front though scumbags are the best coaches in CFB

 

[Brandonmscane]

What is lost in all of this is the freshman QB they just signed that the head coach promised him they wouldn't be taking another QB this cycle.

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.
