Many coaches bemoaned that looser transfer rules would create a free agency-like system in college football, and we’re seeing that.īOWL OUTLOOK: Ranking the SEC bowl games, from Texas Bowl to mayonnaise to Cotton Bowl The NCAA’s former system that would have punished Johnson for transferring instead of playing for a new coach who didn’t recruit him was unfairly skewed against the players.

Kelly, a 60-year-old earning millions, bolted Notre Dame with its season hanging in the balance, and what’s good for the goose should be good for the gander. Johnson signed in LSU’s 2020 recruiting class to play for Orgeron and his staff. That’s not a criticism of Johnson’s decision. Hard to imagine Johnson making this move, before even going through spring practice with his new coach, if he knew he’d have to sit out the 2022 season. Thus, Johnson, a sophomore with 14 career starts, can transfer without the threat of having to sit out a season. Transfers aren’t new to college football, but the avenue for undergraduates like Johnson became easier after the NCAA revised the rules last spring to allow first-time transfers immediate eligibility. That Kelly fled Notre Dame while the Irish remained in playoff contention in favor of a 10-year contract at LSU is the finishing touch to this tableau.
