re: big changes coming to football recruiting

To be fair, Burrow followed the grad transfer rule meaning he stayed 3 years and obtained a degree from his previous university and Fehoko sat out a year upon transferring. These two either stuck it out to complete their college degree or received a penalty for leaving early.

IMO Justin Fields and how the NCAA handled that situation is the biggest reason the flood gates opened. He was given a no penalty transfer bc of a “hardship” that was somewhat arbitrary.

There's a big difference between a guy that plays QB where he's either the starter or a backup that only sees mop up duty and a defensive back that is part of a 5 or 6 man rotation every game with an opportunity to prove he belongs in the starting line up.
