I was speaking with a college football administrator who unequivocally told me any player from his school that entered the portal would NOT be allowed to play for his school ever again. In other words, putting your toe In the water to see if the grass was greener meant never returning to your original pasture. Period. Big period. You may have been a benchwarmer. You may have been a backup. You may have been a starter. You may have been a star. Whatever........you are GONE from his school. Don't even think about pleading for a second chance.

We will see this works out for the young man. Wishing him the best. Hillsdale did a heckuva job developing a Wing T QB into an SEC receiver. Isaac obviously deserves a ton of credit as well. I will be cheering for him 11 weeks of the season (all but Mississippi State. My kid and my money go there.) and twice as hard when the Hawgs play Ole Miss so I guess that makes it 12.

Isaac is not the normal DII guy as not many DII guys are good enough to get multiple P5 offers and if they are they should go. My concern is for all the DII guys just looking to jump ship. If you are a DII player your #1 goal should be to get your diploma. How many of these transfer guys ever graduate? Not all credits transfer and now a player could be starting their undergrad major from start when they were less than 2 years away from walking away with a degree at the school they left. Trading a degree for a chance where you might play at another school is not looking out for the student athletes. The go get yours attitude is for the short term minded people. Go get your degree should be what we preach to the DII athlete.

There is so much unknown to be judging anyone that chooses to enter the portal. These student athletes are old enough to die in war, I think we can allow them to play football where they want without concern.

I was a junior college transfer from California and earned a scholarship to play at Delta State. My Junior season was 2006. In one of my classes we had a few football players. Some of us were kind of slacking off. The teacher, an old baseball coach, said "I don't see any Reggie Bushs in this classroom! You all better start taking school serious." I'll never forget that. That teacher, along with one of my coaches saying "Use football, don't let football use you," is the reason I buckled down and earned my degree. I can't say the same for some of my teammates. Some guys played 4 years of college football and have nothing to show for it.
I'm proud I earned my degree and took advantage of the opportunity. I have my diploma and a 2007 GSC championship ring from DSU. Academic and football memories.RESPECT THE STATESMEN, FEAR THE OKRA!
Delta State University, GSC

No concern to me as I used the game of football to get myself a free education with a degree that has provided nicely for my family. Just want the same for other DII athletes. Just hate to see kids get played by the game and end up with nothing rather than using the game to get a better life. Everyone acts like these DII kids are going to play in the NFL.

I'm not sure who is acting like they're going to play in the NFL. Coaches and administrators leave all the time for better situations but now the players can and it's a big deal? My company just decided 2 weeks before Christmas to end contract support on a big contract, I left to get a 30% pay raise to do literally the exact same job but from a different email address at another company. Should I have stayed to be loyal to someone not loyal to me? Let these young men make decisions on where to play and go to school, they're not kids. People take different paths to find success, doesn't have to be the same one you took.
