should have more freedom to transfer. It's a reasonable position. But the headline makes it seem it's an attack specifically on BYU or the HC.

Do we even know if FB has asked for a release? Isn't he still thinking it over-- despite what his bro says.

Rules should force Patrick Kinahan to leave the state of Utah.

PK has the names wrong. The headline is more apt for the Tukuafua story.

Definitely applies. It fits both situations.

BustinCoveys

Does it fit the Bernard case? Is BYU withholding his transfer?

Nobody knows.

You should be able to restrict from teams on schedule over remaining eligiblity

If you never attended the school or practice, you should be unrestricted (Joe T)

I agree with him. What's everyone's problem?

I've learned that most don't care about individuals, only institutions.

Why can't both be protected?

Programs should have a right to kick someone out

Are you prohibited from receiving money from a 3rd party?

8/23/17 11:44am

Hahaha, really? Only like every time. Non-competes and/or buyout penalties are

cougfromcali

So wait, you can't take money if you sell some shoes or accept gifts?

I'm not talking about a competitor. I'm talking about a booster.

Sure, that's not all that uncommon either, but it depends on the job, of course.

cougfromcali

My point is you are acting like a student athlete is comparable to regular jobs

Nobody forces them to sign their contracts. In fact, most students would give...

Again, you are proving you care about institutions more than individuals.

thebruce

No, I really don't, I just care that contracts which benefit BOTH are honored.

cougfromcali

8/23/17 1:47pm

Yes, and I'm saying the contracts aren't fair to both.

No I'm not talking about rivals at all.

So you're not talking about FB at all then? Just trying to get your argument

Is this a serious question?

Two big problems I see:

Based on all the KW quotes, there's nothing justifying the headline's assertion.

Headlines are written by the copy desk, not the writer of the article. Seems they have

Yep, that's basically what they go off. Read the lead (1st paragraph or so) and write the headline.

Often coaches have non-competes too. Look at Bielema's contract at Arkansas...

It's actually becoming more common for coaches to have non-competes as well.
