Report: Multiple College Football Players Plan On Sitting Out
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb ... d84f093f8c
On Monday, a report surfaced, revealing that some SMU football players plan on sitting out the rest of the regular season, with eyes on a transfer in 2023.

"A development in a new era of college football. Multiple SMU players plan to sit out the rest of season with intention to preserve their redshirt year and enter the transfer portal, multiple SMU staff members with knowledge of the situation said," Joseph Hoyt reported.

SMU is off to a 2-2 start to the 2022 college football regular season.

Two players, sophomore wide receiver Roderick Daniels Jr. and senior safety Chace Cromartie, will not be playing the rest of the way.

This will become the norm after 4 games going forward. Teams that underachieve early on will see their best players all choose to redshirt and look for a reset the following year, whether in the portal or with the same school.

Sponsors should pull the NIL, charge them for the semesters enrolled or expell them from school....this will put a stop to this krap...when they signed a "grant in aide" they signed a contract...ENFORCE IT !

Is it only 2 players? They arent big contributors so I am assuming they would be transferring anyways at the end of the year. NIL money does not come from the school so that is just a bad use of money. When are these kids getting the NIL money? Upfront, end of season, weekly?

I personally think that if you quit the team, you quit school meaning all classes are failed. You are a student athlete. They go hand in hand. May be tough to transfer where you want with a 0.0 gpa. Wait, maybe that is not a problem at some schools... :lol: :lol:

Couldn't agree more. If they played 4 games in a 12 game season, then they owe the school for 2/3 of the cost of the semester and the school has no obligation going forward. If it's the coaches decision, then the school is on the hook.

My understanding is its two players who are transferring and two other players who are considering. One barely played, and the other is a senior who played in past years but has been passed up on the depth chart. Its not a big deal . . . Yet

And, did you notice D'Eric King is playing nowhere in the NFL as neither is Keith Corbin (went to JSU), the UH wide receiver who sat out the remainder of the 2019 season with King?
