Originally posted by Futurelooksbright View PostI feel this Transfer portal has gone too far!!! Players have always transferred and I get it, but kids want to jump ship to quickly and move on to other programs. At the D2 level it should be education 1st and then athletics. MOST WILL NOT END UP IN PROS!! Now cases are different, you leave for school that has your major, move closer to home, but too many have Unrealistic Expectstions. Hey Good luck to all though!!!
We do live in a restless country where people easily divorce, and leave a job because they don't get the promotion they think they deserve or for a few more bucks. I remember when families lived in the same zip code. As Carole King said "doesn't anyone stay in one place anymore".

Isn't it all about rights? I like having individual rights as much as anyone but it does raise the issue that this singular focus on individual's rights can have the effect of breaking down, institutions, systems, etc. that you would associate with the collective good. In this case is it good for college football? Is it good for the teams? Is it even good for the players themselves?

It comes down to being a team player or individual player. Most posters have loyalty to a team, but where does loyalty go when someone jumps teams. Do we follow players or teams?

My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

He graduated and is doing it the right way. Bloom stinks, and he wants to finish his football career with a winner (assumption on my part on the "winner"). The quitters in mid season, I personally would want no part of. That's a red flag all the way, and I don't really see many valid excuses for why someone would openly quit on their team mid season.

Speaking of coaching vacancies ... you'd think last week would have been the week for any PSAC teams making a HC change. I haven't seen any. Not to say it still won't happen ...

Are there acceptable reasons for transfering? Sure. But because you can't break into the starting line-up OR because your team is just too bad for your liking are NOT good reasons.

Ahh...Transfer players...the mersonaries of college football! Can't break into the starting line-up at your current school? Don't try harder or become a great back-up, just transfer to another school were you think you have a better chance of playing! You play for a bad team? Forget about practicing harder and becoming better...Just transfer to a team that you think will be better than the one you chose.

But, when you see one football program having 10+ leaving in a single off-season ... it might not be on the players as to why they are all leaving.
Sometimes the culture provided by the staff just sucks and players can't wait to get the hell out of town.
