I get what you're saying, and it's a slippery slope for sure, what's right and what isn't, who can go and how often, etc., but the definition of the word release essentially means freedom from restraint. That isn't true if you're restricted where you can go, so its actually something other than a release.
Jackson didn't release Clark and made the classy parting shot that Clark wasn't good enough to make Iowa State's lineup.
He was free to go to schools that Cael says was ok. Cael can only cover up his stink for so long before people are onto him.
Cael yanks a scholarship and controls where the kid can transfer to. Low class move pure and simple.
Is it really a Jackson vs Perry thing? Jackson has proven to not be a good coach. He was removed as freestyle coach with USA wrestling and he's stunk it up at ISU. I would argue it is more of a Perry vs the field thing.
Do you see statements like this in any college sport? From a coach or from an AD? Until something happens there is seldom a statement. Doesn't mean conversations don't happen and that other people don't speak to each other.
COme on buf. you've been around enough to know this thread was started to troll and see what happened.
It was Oklahoma and Jack Spates, and it was a letter of intent (akin to David Taylor's situation, not, say, Brent Metcalf's). Pretty sure that, once the year was up (which was irrelevant, frankly, as Cael planned on redshirting Kemmerer anyway), Spates had the NLI voided, meaning that Kemmerer got the year of eligibility (albeit not on the five-year clock) back.
