Pitt refusing to let player that has graduated transfer

[Calm]

Pitt ups scumbag coaches/programs bar.

http://deadspin.com/cam-johnson-commits-to-unc-calls-out-pittsburgh-for-bl-1795865636

 

[The Q]

He can transfer, just has to sit out a year if it's an acc school.

It's an in-conference transfer. That's pretty normal and reasonable.

 

[Calm]

This isn't a garden variety transfer. The fact that he has already graduated changed things:

Johnson called out Pittsburgh’s decision to strip him of a year of eligibility, noting that the move actually violates an NCAA bylaw, which states that a school must either allow a graduate transfer to play immediately or deny the transfer entirely.

Did he not talk to former teammate Derrick Jeter who was blocked from transferring by Stalling while both were still at Vanderbilt???

Does he not foresee that Pitt can go with the "deny the transfer entirely" option???

So why didn't they? Did they think they would look less like giant assholes if they didn't just go nuclear on a graduate student? I mean at this point they are just fully admitting that this has nothing to do with academics and that the whole student-athlete thing is a farce.

Now that he's gone public we'll likely see them change their tune.

They probably had no issue with him going to his other rumored schools, Arizona, Oregon etc.

Going into the same conference? That's kind of a no-no.

Stallings is a giant asshole so who knows what he'll do or how far he'll take this. Plus what did Johnson expect when he picked an ACC school.

Stallings is an asshole on and off the court.

As I was saying.
