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?

Of course not. Jay Johnson is a professional hired to do a job and is paid by the university to do so. Had Arizona chosen to do so they could have thrown enough money to get him to stay. I’m not sure if there was a buyout, but there could have easily been one if not.

With the transfers, Arizona put time and money into that kids life and gave him an opportunity. His commitment was NOT to Jay Johnson, it was to the University of Arizona.

Spin it how you wish, but it’s a shitty thing to allow in an “amateur sport” where you are a scholar first and athlete second.
