    None of this would be an issue if the NCAA got their shit together and clearly defined the rules on transfers

    I don't see the point of blocking a kid who was going to be 4th/5th on the QB depth chart had he stayed until the end of the year, but Pete told Yankoff if he goes to another Pac-12 school there would be no waiver granted and so that's what happened.

    The point is not setting a precedent. It probably doesnt really matter with Yankoff but what if next year Puca Nacua or Cam Davis wants to go play at USC and play immediately. Well, you just let a kid do that last year, now you're telling a kid of color he has to sit out but you let the white kid do it. And then the floodgates open.
    This is really the only point that matters (though I also agree with the playbook perspective).

    People can whine all they want about how unfair it is for multimillion dollar coaches to leave while kids have to sit out a year. Tough shit, that's the inherent power dynamic and it's not changing. All that matters is that a coach does what's best for his program. Incentivizing kids to leave and immediately play for a conference rival is dangerous, and it would be naive for a coach to let that happen.
    It is changing though. It's way easier to transfer now than it was ten years ago.

    There's also the possibility that Petersen doesn't like the idea of his more-complicated-than-the-plot-of-Primer offense being exported to a conference foe, packaged up neatly in a former player's skull. We may not see the point of holding back a would-be fifth string QB in terms of available playing time, but I can absolutely see the value in discouraging a player from bringing your offensive reads/cues to an opponent you'll definitely play in the course of that player's career.

    Petersen thinks there's value in Eastern not knowing who the starting quarterback will be. We're supposed to think he'll just be okay with UCLA owning a copy of the playbook? This isn't petty or malicious, it's just attention to detail run amok. If another program wants to negatively recruit using this anecdote, the proper response would be, "Yeah, I hated to do that to Colson, but I was WAY more concerned at the time with the remaining 85 guys in my program winning as many games as possible. You want to come play for a coach that anal-retentively dedicated to winning?"

    At this point, I think fears of avenues for negative recruiting are pretty unfounded. I don't see how it would be possible to negatively recruit against Chris Petersen. Unless the PSA in question is a kicker who can hit from 45...

    Anal-retentive? Sounds hot.
    He's talking about man anal. Sounds hot to you?

    Okie dokie.

    Jokes are jokes. You sound insecure about your sexuality. 11,000 posts in and you're still not dialed in to the humor of the board.

    I don't know whether enforcement of the conference rule will even result in Yankoff getting a sixth year of eligibility. But I do note that UW doesn't actually play UCLA in 2023.
