I think as long as he's not going to a team Bama will play the very next season then yeah, he should be free to go.This rule needs to be changed. Does anyone really think that Kennedy should not be allowed to attend the school of his choice after graduating?
That means it can't be Tennessee or the barn, right?I think as long as he's not going to a team Bama will play the very next season then yeah, he should be free to go.
We disagree.I think as long as he's not going to a team Bama will play the very next season then yeah, he should be free to go.
That would mean any team on Alabama's schedule.That means it can't be Tennessee or the barn, right?
If it is the law of the land then sure but as it stands now, he's just a victim of the rules.This rule needs to be changed. Does anyone really think that Kennedy should not be allowed to attend the school of his choice after graduating?
ThisI think as long as he's not going to a team Bama will play the very next season then yeah, he should be free to go.
Because you think it's okay to allow him to transfer and give the opposing team an advantage wrt calls and playbook?We disagree.

I hate the NCAA as much as most, but I think this should be an NCAA rule for any player from any team in any conference.This
Transfer but you cant go to a team your old team plays against the next year. You have to maintain some level of privacy with teams you are about ti play. Anyone who disagrees has not coached at a competitive level or been held accountable for W and L.
Is that the royal we?We disagree.
I agree with this. Common sense.I hate the NCAA as much as most, but I think this should be an NCAA rule for any player from any team in any conference.
This would help eliminate any ill will towards current coaches and schools and cut down on the drama that is about guaranteed from rival coaches and schools.
If you don't play the team next year then let them go. Even if they are in the same conference.
I don’t like what I’m about to say from a competitive standpoint, but as he is a graduate of the university, they shouldn’t appear to own him or be able to dictate anything about his future if he chooses to leave after earning a degree. I don’t blame UA for using the stipulation, and I even think it was generous to apply it so minimally. It is allowed and it would be a disadvantage to not apply the rule. But I think the rule should be changed, especially for graduates.This

Dont forget many high profile companies and jobs have a "Non Compete" clause. When you take that position you sign an agreement which every student athlete does the exact same thing. They entered into a contract of their own choosing. If they decide to leave for whatever reason they must honor their end of that committment. You have been a part of something proprietary, something unique and in order for that company or school to stay unique in its own way they have to maintain a sense of control and ownership over what makes them different and unique. Major sports programs are no different in this sense. They want to keep that edge over the competition at least in the short term and immediate future.I don’t like what I’m about to say from a competitive standpoint, but as he is a graduate of the university, they shouldn’t appear to own him or be able to dictate anything about his future if he chooses to leave after earning a degree.

Because I trust that he won't betray his Alabama family and do that.Because you think it's okay to allow him to transfer and give the opposing team an advantage wrt calls and playbook?
We, as in me and CA (and I guess anyone who agrees with him on this subject).Is that the royal we?
The reasonong for disallowing it was created decades ago, and it was all about schools controlling players. It had nothing to do with telling other schools about your playbook.So you can disagree all you want, but the reasoning for disallowing it isn't just pulled out fo thin air.
