This reeks of hypocrisy. Gerry DiNardo, the LSU coach, smugly told the media earlier this week that none of his players would dare ask him to transfer within the conference. Never mind that he did, bolting Vanderbilt for Baton Rouge. And nobody asked Tommy Tuberville to sit out a year when he transferred not only within the conference, but within the Western Division. Coaches can leave a program for more money.
Football players can leave a program and pay money.
They say they care about the kids, but it's obvious they really don't. The coaches, for the most part, stick together. Steve Spurrier let Tim Olmstead go to Vandy, a school Florida faces every year. If a player wants to leave, where he goes isn't really the issue. That's what I thought.
