If it's a school we're playing, then I have no problem with it, and that's what's being blocked (Pitt and Syracuse) according to the article. I'm assuming the article is accurate, although I suppose that's up for debate as well.
In theory, I agree, let them go wherever they want. But for that to work, then everybody has to do it. We are in a competitive environment and in the real world, there are no coaches that I know of that just let kids go wherever. All the winning programs have restrictions. Every one of them. Especially the top 10 to 15 teams and certainly the playoff teams.
So all of you "God bless, go get yours young man" types can **** off.
The savage move is to restrict the teams we are playing. End of story.
Or we can be the only good guys in the face of college football, and set a precedent for other kids to walk all over us. No thanks.
