I think it's chicken sh#t when a coach for whatever reasons loses a player then tries to block a transfer-future opponent or not. It's JD's life and we restrict student athletes enough that we shouldn't be dictating where they can or cannot compete or finish their education. We both know that Nebraska has benefited from transfers and we shouldn't play the victim card when the shoe is on the other foot.

So I expanded on that analogy. Would you let a family member do something you felt would harm him or the rest of the family. In the analogy he is just one of the kids. So if one of the kids is doing something that would harm the rest of the family do you let them do it?
What player did we ever get from another team in our conference? EVER!!! Never happened.
We got Vokolek from Rutgers. Noah is transferring to Rutgers. If Speilman is a grad transfer, he's immediately free to go and play for whoever he wants. I'm not very good at detecting sarcasm, without [sarcasm]insert sarcasm here[/sarcasm] delimiters.

Tommie never really had a shot with the blood clot issue. If someone was creative, Tommie could have helped many teams. So could have Crouch.
$400k I believe is where he ended....much different lifestyle though now.
Unfortunately, this is the modern mindset. I have very little sympathy for JD, but do agree that he doesn't have to play here.
Hopefully that is not the case. Playing D1 football is a once in a lifetime, once in a century opportunity for most families.
I don't look at him as running away from home, as you said earlier. Think of it this way instead...
$400k is a lot of ground to make up. Not to mention benefits.
Forgot about Vokolek. Again not talking about who we let go. Talking about who we got. So you got me on this one.
Already admitted to Vokolek ruining my argument. Punters don't count.
Good counter analogy.
