Everett Golson transferring from ND for his fifth year
FSU is mentioned as a possibility, as is LSU, Texas and Alabama.

It would be an interesting test of ACC rules if he were to transfer to FSU. If the league considered Notre Dame a member for this purpose, it would appear that he would not be eligible to play, since the league has more stringent rules for transfers within the conference. I wonder if any other league members would object to a transfer that lets him compete immediately.
Golson does seem to like the ACC though. He originally committed to play at UNC before switching to the Irish.

Just my guess but since ND football is not part of the ACC, no such rule would apply.

ND is a member of the ACC. They just don't play football in the conference. So it would be a test of the rules for sure.

RE: Everett Golson transferring from ND for his fifth year
My guess is that, since this is an issue that might not be resolved quickly, and since we are already only four months from the start of the season, Golson would take the path of least resistance if he has other good options. Those other schools sound like pretty good options to me if they are interested in him.

That rule does not apply to grad transfers. Wake just had one from UVA.

You are correct sir. That is a specific exception to the transfer rule in Section VI-2 of the ACC bylaws. My bad.

RE: Everett Golson transferring from ND for his fifth year
I'd be surprised if FSU was interested...he's just not a good enough passer.
Why not BC though? Who do they have lined up...that would seem like a great fit.

He is a pretty good passer, though he turns the ball over.
Here are his stats from last year:
G Comp Att % Yards y/a y/gm TD Int
Everett Golson 12 250 416 60.1 3355 8.1 279.6 29 14

RE: Everett Golson transferring from ND for his fifth year
Macguire has been underwhelming for sure. I know Golston's got a great arm, but he doesn't strike me as an accomplished enough passer to come in and master FSU's pro-style system in all (or most) of it's complexities in a matter of weeks. I mean, the more the merrier, but I lean toward taking my chances on a guy that's been in the system.
I'm sure Jimbo could tailor things to Golston's great athleticism, but I'm not sure if that's worth it for one season, or more importantly, that's something Golston wants to do.

RE: Everett Golson transferring from ND for his fifth year
Some of these transfers seem crazy.
If Tom Brady never transferred while buried on the depth chart, why can't some of these other players be satisfied? Are the coaches pushing these players out?

There's no benefit to the player in sitting the bench when they could be playing somewhere else.

Golson would have started but would have shared some time with Malik Zaire.
He apparently doesn't like to share.....

It's mind bottling that multiple people in this thread actually think the "rule" would be tested. For one, is there even an ACC rule prohibited players from transferring within the ACC? That's always schools placing restrictions on the player, I thought. Secondly, and more importantly and OBVIOUSLY, is that Notre Dame isn't an ACC football playing member, so no such rule would apply, and if the ACC tried to apply it, the athlete would have ample reason for litigation.
If this wasn't a grad student transfer case.

RE: Everett Golson transferring from ND for his fifth year
I don't understand what the big deal is. Golson is a slightly above average college QB with turnover issues who is going to have to learn a new offensive system in two months. Other than a school with absolutely nothing at QB (Hello Syracuse) I don't see this being a big deal at all.

3400 yards and 29 TD's would be the all time single season record for both at LSU, for instance.
There is one team who could sure use him.
ND went 19-6 in his two years as a starter, even with last year's late 4 game swoon.
Prior to that, he had only lost to Alabama in the title game and FSU in that close finish last year.
Someone is getting a pretty good, experienced QB with a cannon arm and some fumbling issues.
