Imagine if schools had the freedom to gut Central Florida's roster because Frost left and the players earned immediate transfer eligibility. Even if Nebraska couldn't come and do it, that wouldn't stop anyone else.

I just don't like the idea of a system that is athlete friendly. It should be school friendly.

Who are the best recruiters at AState?

If the kids are committing to AState rather than Trooper or Early it doesn't matter that they are the best recruiters on the staff.

The public doesn't understand that intercollegiate athletics under NCAA rules and Federal law are more than football and basketball and the riches brought in by athletics support those other programs to some degree, fully at an Alabama or Ohio State, partially at an AState or ECU. So players aren't likely to ever get paid, coaches in the top sports are in general going to be paid out-sized salaries. The days of a head football coach in Division I being paid like they are an Instructor in the PE Department or if lucky, like a full professor are long gone and dead and buried. Student-athletes should be given an out if a school is barred from post-season or the head coach departs.
