It was a truly revealing quote.
“Managing your roster right now is the hardest thing to do, in my opinion, as a head coach in college football,” Arkansas football Coach Sam Pittman said. “But I think you have to transfer within the conference if you’re going to have the transfer rule, because most of the time the players that we’re looking for are in this league.”
Our man Bob Holt researched and wrote a story in Saturday’s Arkansas Democrat-Gazette about players who transferred from one SEC school to another SEC school.
Apparently 32 guys jumped from one SEC school to another after last season, and this was the first time an athlete could transfer without sitting out because presidents and chancellors in the SEC voted in June 2021 to change the rule and allow immediate eligibility.
