Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

As long as coaches can up and leave whenever they want, or be fired at any time, players should be able to leave as well. The control schools and NCAA have over college athletes is so over the top. There is nothing like it.
Retarded.
It would essentially mean that only the good players would be able to transfer.

What a lazy take. Greedy corporatists have been and will continue to ruin college sports. If transfers haven't killed the sport already, they never will, because tptb will never allow players to freely transfer without some sort of penalty. That part i'm totally fine with because coaches and schools get penalized in the way of a buyout when one side decides to prematurely end the relationship.

Mike likes to keep the spotlight on the younger players. His fixation does not seem healthy.
Transfers are too old to warrant Mike's attention.
I simply cannot hear that name without thinking of the video where the fat guy introduces the other fat guy over the PA system in an empty stadium.

It has been working in OU's favor so I will allow it.
Many players aren't quite good enough to get on the field, but could be a 3 yr starter at some colleges. I am glad they have the opportunity to go play...if that is what they want.
Some schools have log jams and really good recruits are on the menu.
<checks notes>
OU has gotten a few of these and turned then into Heisman winners & #1 picks.

Between transfers and coronavirus shutdowns last year, Mike is getting pretty nervous that won’t earn that free night at LaQuinta....
