Maybe we could become the beacon for all those guys that care nothing for the school itself , only $$. Maybe Tech could get to the point that like 5 or 6 players from offense and the same from defense just stay a year or 2 (at most). Same for coaches. Guys that had never head-coached before could get hired & just stay a year or 2 & move on! Tech could get well know for that & catch that great national attention as a trend-setter! Heck, we could sell our guns & just try "FINGERS UP!". This is sooo great for Tech!

Fred, that is a good question. I've got a question also: If a player transfers, he has to sit out a year before he can play at another D-1 School. Why doesn't the NCAA make a coach that leaves for another D-1 school before his contract is up sit out a year? That would cut down on this coaching chaos. It's funny. Players can't make a commitment and then leave without a penalty, but coaches can blow off their commitment with a $400,000 buyout, which the school that is hiring him pays anyway. What a sweet deal . . . for the coach. No wonder the players feel exploited. “Why doesn’t the NCAA make athletes who leave early for professional careers repay their entire scholarship??”

It would be chump change to the athlete, and it could help pay for school scholarships in other areas or funding other sports. If something like this isn't in place, it should be. This has been my issue long before these recent announcements. Makes perfect sense (just like a non-BCS championship), so I don't think the NCAA will adopt it.

Glad he decided to move on wish him nothing but the best. As for Leach who cares at this point...... The new contract supposedly gives him a 400k buyout same as before. To me that is stupid because Tech has to eat 40% of the remaining contract were they to fire him. Shouldn't a coach be held to the same? That is the problem with coaching contracts they are to simple and easily bought out by a coach, but the university has to dish a huge amount. Leach can stay or go I hope he stays but the admin at Tech should really change the buyout part. Good for him. Glad he decided to move on wish him nothing but the best.

I'm sure Williams made the decision that was best for his circumstances. Hope all goes well for him. Third rounders don’t make that much money unless they produce and get to that second contract.
