Maybe that's so, but you just don't say things like that. Transfers are extremely common these days, for a variety of reasons, and to be honest they should be allowed. Coaches can up and leave whenever they please if they think it's the right decision for their lives, there's no reason players shouldn't also be able to, but that's a different conversation. That said, when you make that kind of insinuation, it creates an unnecessary level of skepticism that rates mental issues below coaches filling out a roster, and that's messed up.
It is what it is. I agree players should be allowed to transfer, but they need to set a timeline on when they can, so it doesn’t handcuff a team.
With the 4 games rule, where players can wait to see if they win or lose a starting job — they can bounce and a school with little to no options if an injury occurs.
In regards to the mental health issues — IF that is what they are transferring for, sitting out a year is exactly what they need to get their life in order and their head on straight. So using it as a reason to transfer and be allowed to not have to sit out shouldn’t even be an option.
I agree mental health issues are extremely important and need to be recognized, but mental health should never be used as a reason to not sit out, IMO.
