So long amateur sports.

ETA: I don’t give a shite about them getting paid. They deserve being able to make money off of their image and brand. I just can’t stand all the transfers. I don’t want college off-seasons to feel like a free agent market.

That kid made a commitment to a university for at least a partial scholarship. I mean I’m glad he’s here and not playing for a rival, but it’s still fricked up he can just up and leave UA.

That kid made a commitment to Jay Johnson to play for Arizona. Kids don't make decisions based on the college.

But it's not fricked up that Jay Johnson can just up and leave UA?

As best I know, the ability to transfer immediately is a one time deal. After this year, a player has to sit out the usual one year. Mea culpa if wrong.

Baseball is just not the sport to bemoan this.

Scholarship limitations are ruthless and schools process kids left and right.

Scholarship agreements are one year at a time. Technically, he fulfilled his commitment to Arizona.
