Because they were backups on a 8-4 mediocre team.

It’s repeated so much it’s basically a trope at this point but if they weren’t starting or getting playing time on this years team, specifically the defense, they probably don’t like the idea of their position being a main focal point.

There’s a reason our QB threw 10 ints in a game and nobody subbed in. Same reason Gilbert and Sage never got benched. The people behind them were not a better option.

The major problem was when they allowed unlimited transfers with no repercussions. Put money aside for a bit, what if you knew you had to sit out for a year when you transferred? Half of this ish would be cut out.

A freshman who couldn't get on the field his first year would automatically sacrifice another year of no field if he left. What if in that time that they were idle a kid emerged? You can't transfer again because you'd lose another year. In this case it would make way more sense to graduate in 3 years and if you aren't basically a lock for a position, you're free with no drawbacks to transfer as a 4th year.

The old way would have been much better even with NIL.
