Can we get somebody who is leaving come here. What is the deal he can only be released to go to a non SEC school or something like that???
1Another quarterback is leaving Florida after the program's first losing season since 1979. Tyler Murphy, who started six games and may have gotten a shot at the job in 2014, announced Sunday he's leaving to play his senior year elsewhere.

SEC rules on "normal" SEC school to SEC school transfers are pretty stringent. If one goes on scholly they have to sit a year and then lose one year of eligibility. Dy'shawn isn't going to do that. He hasn't used a redshirt at UK so he can transfer to an non SEC D1-A program and use his sit out year as a redshirt year and then have two years eligibility left. He also has the option of going down to D1-AA and playing immediately and having 2 years eligibility left. I was told over the weekend that he will likely exercise the first option and is talking to a couple of BCS conference schools. He wants to get in to an offense that fits his between the tackles style of running better than Mark Stoops/Neal Brown's wacked out version of the spread.
Murphy is a different case. He will graduated from UF in 3 years and is able to go anywhere he wants to and play his last year as a graduate student, just as Barton has done for UT's basketball team when he came from Memphis. He doesn't need a release from UF like Mobley does from UK That is an NCAA rule, which trumps SEC rules.
Guys like Cam Newton and the current Auburn QB were able to go SEC school to SEC school because they did it going to a juco first, which negates the need to get a release from a previous school.

Let me preface this by saying:
1) many NCAA rules are really dumb
2) the NCAA is a rule based org and I don't fault the athletes or schools from exploiting loopholes ("you make the rules, I'll figure out how to work around them")
That said, while the original intent is commendable the graduate school transfer is exploited like crazy. Obviously privacy laws prohibit this but I'd love to see a list of these graduate programs and completion rates by those using the exception.
