For Star subscribers: Is this what college football wants to be? A year-to-year gala of free agency?
Greg Hansen As recently as 10 years ago, the leading reasons an athlete transferred to a new school were probably:In the 1950s, baseball infielder Harry Simpson became known as"Suitcase Simpson" because he played for five MLB teams in eight years. It seemed excessive.
Why would Singer leave Arizona after leading the Pac-12 with 1,105 receiving yards? How can he expect to improve his production at, say, Oklahoma or Utah? That’s unrealistic. Jeff Fairholm, a starting Arizona receiver in the late 1980s who went on to play nine years in the Canadian Football League, reacted to Singer’s move by tweeting this message:"I am saddened and somewhat sickened by what the NCAA has become due to the portal and NIL. When I went to school it was a commitment which quickly grew into an absolute love for my school. I am a Wildcat and always will be."It looks that way. The Me-First Era.
"Some feel trapped at a school they’re not happy with," said Reese."Some won’t stick around long enough to get the minutes they want." Transferring doesn’t make an athlete any better or more productive. It simply reflects the high-stakes, high-pressure generation of college athletics, in which unrealistic expectations and the pursuit of NIL money continue to drive a record number of athletes to pack a suitcase.
