PrintI know that Cory Grant left and went to the 'Barn this year. I have a question though, what happened to not releasing a player from his scholarship to another school in your conference or especailly your division? I remember the day when Bama or any other school would never allow that. What happened? Did the rule change? If someone knows, please explain. I just want to know what has changed and maybe when did it change? It doesn't sseem that long ago that this was not allowed.

If I understand it right, Grant went to Dogpatch as a walk on paying his own way and nothing we can do about it. Will have to sit out a year, lose that yr of eligibility, and the barn can’t offer a scholarship until next year.
Thanks
Does the rule of not releasing playing to rivals and coference foes still apply to other players?

I don't think it is a rule as much as
it was what teams did. In other words we are not going help our rival out by making it easy etc.
Now days teams may want some guys to transfer to allow them to sign more new guys, etc.
In such cases they would release the player.
But if we did not want to lose someone I think we would make it harder. I think if Trent wanted to transfer to LSU we would not release him.
But I’m just making a guess about the whole thing because I really don’t know the rule.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
Nothing harder about it. He is paying his own way.

To clarify,
Grant was not released. He left without a release, which is why he has to sit out this year.
God bless our Dark Lord.
He'd have to anyway.
The only way to avoid sitting out is to go to an FCS-or-lower school.

Yep.
With a release the Barn could give him a scholly his first year. I’m sure Trooper can find him some special “financial aid” to fill in the gaps.

This.
The only thing that the lack of release accomplishes is it prevents the athlete from receiving a scholarship.
