Player transfer is the key

[Moe Cabelle]

I think we know why umiss kept ol' Luke.

They really got off light with schollies and just a two year bowl ban if true.

If tons of players transfer, this hurts bad. If not, they can finesse their way out of this reasonably well.

Luke's job is to keep them there at all cost. Without transfers, they got off far too light imo.

 

[Shmuley]

Luke's job is to look the other way while the money keeps flowing.

Is it known at this point who exactly can transfer? I feel like most of us have been assuming to this point that it would be only those who have no possibility of playing in a bowl game at OM before their eligibility is up ('15 class and back with the additional year), but I've seen several writers this morning indicating that it's all players.

Rising seniors only

Tom Mars may yet have something to say about that.

Rising seniors, no questions asked. BUT, others can apply for waivers saying they have been misled, etc, and historically those waivers have been granted by NCAA. Paging Tom Mars.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Per Ed Aschoff others can apply to NCAA for waivers & will likely be granted. You have to think everyone in 2016 class can make a case for being misled

I imagine very few rising seniors are going to bolt if they are already getting playing time. May be wrong, I'm just guessing once you've been there at least 3 years, they're sort of settled in and part of the team.

 

[Moe Cabelle]

I agree. Seniors aren't likely to leave unless they aren't starters and looking for playing time elsewhere. Big whoop.

Without mass transfers from the class of 2016, they worked the system rather well.
