Right...forgot his name. I'd normally blame my age, but I'm okay with it since, well, he never played. I'm olver it.

This is probably more of a USC thing but this is a representative example of the decline of the PAC12. It’s premier football school should never lose a top CA recruit to Texas.

I have no idea man, Texas seemed pretty confident in him getting a waiver to play for them this year but who knows about USC if he transfers back.

Pathetic, this kid is already a bust as a teammate!!! Athlete entitlement has runneth over with these kids. The Transfer rule is causing this in my opinion, because it is weaker minded kids that want to transfer, so you just handed the punks permission.
Interesting take.
I don't like the eased transfer rules, think they are going to result in more kids doing what this one is.
Wonder though how long it will be until some players start finding that they don't have the options they think they do.
This kid already disrupted to a degree a USC recruiting class with them assuming he would be filling a slot then him bailing last minute. He then tied up a scholly at Texas for a year. If he ends up sitting for a year with his pattern he is likely to only play one season for USC. If he is any good by the end of his season of playing he will likely declare for the draft, even if he isn't good enough that he should.
If he isn't that good or isn't playing a lot then he probably bails out again.
The result is that with all the run around USC gets one season of football out of him.
There will always be a team willing to make room for somebody with talent but how long till a guy like this one ends up in the MWC or a bottom feeder because the top programs just don't want to mess with him.
18 year old kids change their mind on a whim, and that's never going to change Mtn. Transfer rules need to be tightened up again.
I agree with you. I don't think the new transfer rules are good for the kids or the game.
My comment was just a prediction that in the future, maybe sooner than later, some of these kids who want to bounce around are going to find themselves with more limited options because some of the coaches are going to decide not to mess with them.
It wouldn't surprise me if despite his apparent talent level this kid never actually contributes in a meaningful way to any program.
It’s hard for me to think of anything else besides “student-athlete” with education or professions where we penalize someone for choosing to change his situation. All the coaches, staffers, administrators and fellow students do so all the time and it seems ok for them. What’s the big deal? I wouldn’t think a thing of it if a scholarship artist at Berkeley decided she would be better off transferring to Julliard. Schools don’t own these young adults.

Nah. They should be pretty loose. I thought this was America and we should have the freedom to choose.
Coach's will always be desperate to fill that hole.
Without competitive balance, the game ceases to rake the revenue that it does, and schools would then drop the sport.
Team sports can't exist when players can change teams at will, with no barrier.
Imagine the NFL, where every player costs the same, there was no salary cap and everyone was a free agent EVERY year.
Do you think players will migrate to one or a few teams.
Product would die.
College football popularity is based on competitive balance? Since when?
Always. Are you saying that CFB couldn't have more interest than it does?
Competitive balance has never been present in college football.
Larry Eustachy, is that you?
I think people mistake competitive balance in terms of national championships with competitive balance within the respective conferences. It’s always going to be hard to keep those dynasties from dominating but random teams do rise up and win and big programs falter for periods which is what makes the sport great. I mean look at the pac 12, 9/12 teams have won their division and played in the conference championship game. Half of the teams in the sec have done the same thing since 2010. 7 in the big 10, 8 in the acc, etc.
Programs like Texas, usc, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Miami, have all had down stretches in the last 10 years too.
Yes, but programs have a shot to win something.
We can get to the point where high school kids are too risky to take with absolutely zero restrictions on transfer. Each year, we can just have a big shuffle of the players.
In fact, taking this to an extreme, high school recruits might often be TOO risky for a program like Alabama. Perhaps they would take only 8-12 per year, filling their other spots with transfers. This way they make sure they have zero voids or weak spots, and take the kids that the feeder programs like Colorado provide them.
I'm a huge CFB fan, but I'd be checking out then. We need to provide more balance, not less.

Agreed. It’s a sticky subject. On one hand like buffnik said they’re just kids and they’re just looking out for what’s best for them and everyone else does it. On the other hand they’re signed to a school giving them free education in return for their talents. If you let this get too out of control you’ll just have kids transferring all over looking for a chance to win and you’ll have the powerhouses cherry picking the best kids they can from everywhere else. I’m not against kids looking out for what’s best for them but at some point you kind of have to protect the colleges too because you’ll ruin any and all chances at anything competitive. It’s already going that way, I can name 10 colleges and chances are 4 of the 10 will be in the playoffs every year I guess. It’s almost like the NBA, that sport is unwatchable for me because we already know who is going to win because players are cherry picking teams now.
This gets to why expanding the playoff is so important. Otherwise it’s a handful of schools playing for the big prize with everyone else playing for a nice season that ends with a vacation trip to an exhibition game the NFL prospects skip.
