Grambling State coach Mickey Joseph understands why players would want to go to a bigger program after a successful season. But he also believes there should be some sort of compensation for the player’s former school when a player transfers to a bigger program.

Joseph, a former Nebraska assistant and the Huskers' interim coach in 2022, posited that a buyout should be paid to him or another coach in a similar position if an FCS player has a big season and transfers to a school at the top level of college football.
