My take is that Chip said he wanted him and Yankoff said "Pete said I'll be blocked" and Chip said "meh, don't worry about that. once you transfer he'll be fine and we'll get you playing...it's not a big deal." So, Yankoff trusted him and transferred and then Chip had someone call Pete to ask about releasing the transfer since the kid's a good kid and won't really play anyway (secretly chip is relying on Yankoff's running ability for some spread options) and expected Pete to "sure whatever" but Pete had his people (the ones who threw Kim's coat out of Pete's office) "nope. we were clear."
so now Yankoff is like "fuck..." and Chip is like "fuck..." and UCLA fans are like "fuck...there goes our Pac 12 Championship" and Pete's like "fuck...you!"
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...
I like it. It sets a precedent. Doesn't matter that he sucks. Now, if a player that is actually good wants to transfer we can say, look, you can transfer, but you'll have to sit out a year if it is in conference. We don't want players going to Oregon or SC after spring ball because they have a couple injuries and need a LB and the dad wants a bag.

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.
I'm 100% fine with this. I dont want to set a precedent that we're the program that will let the neighbor come over and fuck our wife just because we're a nice guy and want our wife and the neighbor to be happy. Yankoff knew the rules when he signed with UW. He sucked and now wants a do-over
What neighborhood do you live in?
Seriously though, what’s the address of the chump that lets dudes come over and fuck his wife?

The point is also to not be a petty cunt that other teams will use against you in recruiting(not that UW is struggling relative to our shit ass 12). Perception isn't everything, but it goes a long way.

Yeah, but sometimes you have to do uncomfortable things and perhaps look "petty" in order to keep stability because it's a slippery slope out there ...
Life isn't black and white.
Anytime you use discretion (especially when the parameters are clear) then any deviation is actually weakening.
Peterman has control over this ... It's called "no"

The point is not looking like a faggot after reiterating your position on the transfer policy within conference to this player, and others on the roster.
But, please... continue to wax poetically about petty cunt shit.
Apparently you've never run a business. You must work for the feds or academia where feelings and perception reign supreme.

LifeCFBLife CFB? is weird how it goes from FUCK YOU QUOOKS WE BEAT YOU FOR YANKER, to this dude is trash, thank god he's freeing up a scholarship.
Still a win for us. If he's good enough for Chip to still want him he'd be good enough for Oregon. He's a talented athlete. Just needs to get his reads down.

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.
