Yes. Eli Ricks, a cornerback on an okay team at a top 20 program (LSU) realized he could do a little better by joining a great team at a top 3 program (Bama).

Just wait till players see how a move like this ends up showing the players true colors and hurts their NFL draft stock

NIL won't kill college football like people think but there will be a learning curve

f this guy is okay casually jumping to his team's bitter rival after two years of competition just for a slight upgrade, the mid level and smaller guys don't have a chance at keeping talent.

That is one thing I have thought about. The diamond in the rough at a small or less prestigious program that was overlooked by the Big Boys out of high school and ends up being 2nd team All-Conference as a sophomore at Vandy or Kansas or someplace is going to get a second chance at a premiere program once he proves his worth. I think this will lead to fewer big upsets. We’re less likely to see Brett Favre leading USM to wins over Bama and Auburn in the same year because he will transfer.

All these kids are mercenaries looking for the best opportunity for themselves - wherever that may be. They would rather be a first round pick from a program they never cared about than a second round pick from their favorite program. Never forget this saying that is almost always true: People are only as loyal as their options.

Players play for themselves, and fans cheer for laundry.
