What a joke...

Everyone has their hand out and wants to go to the highest bidder. #PayMeMore

Surprised he stunk so much for Pitt this year. Unfortunately this is a good move for them Phil J is the better QB and makes that game a lot tougher. We would have beaten Slovis in the Dome.

it's a clownish thing. sit out a year is what it should go back to if college is about college.

Does that apply to coaches, as well?

 

[Stern]

This is official

 

[CuseLegacy]

QB musical chairs.

 

[AAM62]

Yeah Slovis aint that good

If college football is ultimately destroyed (it's still wildly popular), it will be traced back to the greed of the administrations. They all tried to make it big business, but seemed to leave one part out. Thinking the free education was enough for those who actually make all the plays on the field.

Now it's more equitable to players with NIL and instant transfers, but there are practically no controls in place. There's no leadership overall to the sport.

Where does it all land? Can't wait to find out.

I have my doubts that Slovis had a choice.

Bingo. No one should blame the players for doing what's in their best interest, in terms of playing time and money. Blame the Presidents and ADs desperate lust for money, and their utter lack of foresight, planning, stewardship and accountability.

Yeah this isn't on Slovis. The optics aren't great I get it, but I'd do the same thing if I was him. 8-4 and a decent bowl meanwhile your OC is working to bring in his former QB. Granted his stats weren't eye popping this year but still.

It’s ironic that Pitt’s coach was complaining about poaching last year and what does he do this year? Hypocrite.

This is why I don't mind Deion telling that group of players that a lot of them are prob out the door.

What's that Oscar Wilde quote? "A true friend stabs you in the front" or something.

 

[Newhouser]

I'm not Trent Dilfer but neither guy has shown much stuff in my eyes. Sort of a yawn.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

How does this work? They all grad transfer guys?

I can get a guy having two schools on their stats, but three is weird.

 

[ImperialOrange]

Does that apply to coaches, as well?

Nope, they should have to sit out 2

Playing along with the original comment, it does not apply, nor should it. Coaches are employees of the university. Student-athletes aren't. Apples and oranges.

But then a lot of folks don't accept the premise of the original comment.

I don't see why that distinction results in one group having to sit out a year to take advantage of an opportunity that improves their life while another group doesn't have to sit out a year. It seems completely arbitrary.

They now have too much control over their lives. Back in my day you made a bad choice and just rode off into obscurity while coaches were able to jump positions chasing a buck without even telling the players

 

[longtimefan]

I thought portaling was a one-time thing. Now, if they have a degree, going the second time as a grad transfer makes sense.

OP was about the "college" part. Are we talking about sitting out a year after transferring for academic reasons, like taking advantage of the new ChemE major at some other school? (That's what the opportunity would be in that framework.)

And in any event, when you transfer, you still get to take classes, so you're not "sitting out" from the perspective of the original comment.

Slovis was a transfer to Pitt from...Southern Cal. Narduzzi was always a hypocrite.
