Why do players transfer to a small mid-major in DIA over going to a DIAA and playing right away? I would understand going to a big mid-major or another BCS program and waiting a year, but why would want to go to an Arkansas State over say Jacksonville State (closer to his home anyway).

Im not even talking NFL here, just the fact you have to sit out an entire season. In Sam Gibson's case it won't be a redshirt season, it will be a season he can play because he was already redshirted here and has 3 to play 3...so then it becomes an issue of playing only 2 years vs. 3 years. Not everyone plays CFB to go to the NFL, many play because it gets them through school and/or they love the game itself.
Academically I don't understand the argument about Arkansas State, they are not anything close to resembling a good academic institution.
