With the firing of Bobby Petrino, will any of the Ark players or recruits be granted a release to go elsewhere? I figure most will stay but I figure there are a few recruits that didn't sign up for all that mess. I think most will wait and see who they hire then make their decision to stay or go. With the firing of the coach, a player doesn't get the one year of ineligibility if they choose to leave, right?

Doubt it.

That only happens if there are major ncaa issues. While Petrino is a lieing, cheating scumbag I havent seen anything ncaa related.

Idk why but I was thinking that in cases that new HEAD coach is fired or hired, Players were granted a release.

we just went through a bunch at UT not too long ago. How many players were released?

At this point BP was fired for the "conduct" clause in his contract. Unless the AA finds violations and rules accordingly at some point, they cannot be released and allowed to play immediately for any other school. The players also know that Arky has the money to go hire another proven coach as soon as the season is over if the the interim does not get promoted.

The only way players would be granted a release in this situation is if the University decides to grant them an unconditional release.

Sometimes when a coach is dismissed, a school releases players if they request one. It is not an automatic thing, nor is it required.

With the rest of the staff remaining intact at Arkansas, I would highly doubt that UA releases anyone. If they do, it won't be to an SEC school.

Yeah but there is a difference in coaches leaving for other jobs and coach's getting fired. Also I'm not talking about assistant coaches. I'm talking about the HEAD coach being fired.

Now that Arky has gone public with we had a head coach that didn't follow the policies of the University and cheated on his family and then lied about both, will this put the NCAA on alert?

I know they have the rule in place to keep programs from falling completely apart in situations like this but I didn't think it was up to the University to decide. I figured it would be an NCAA decision if a player wanted out.

Ok, My main question is would the NCAA really not let a Signee that hasn't even practiced yet change programs because of Fired Head coach?

(Based on where this thread's placed, I'm presuming what you're really asking is something along the lines of "will we be able to get any of Arkansas players or recruits to transfer from Arkansas and play the next year, as was the case with Malik Jackson coming from USC?" right?)

It doesn't change anything; the only thing that really creates such are special NCAA rulings (more or less penalties) in the more severe cases of punishing schools (SMU, USC).

Arkansas players could transfer if they want, but they're still going to be under the same rules as regular players transferring.

They can change/transfer like everyone else, however they have to go through all the same avenues (sit out a year or play juco, only certain schools that their university releases them to, etc).


There's no special privileges or changes brought about by "your coach f----d up and got fired" or "your coach left"

The NCAA looks at the reasons for firing a coach. If it is due to NCAA violations the recruits/players can be released. If it is due to being a bad coach (or just being a bad human being), the commitment to the school remains in effect unless the SCHOOL decides to release.

If I were recruited by a guy that outwardly lied to me, Saying things like how family was important to him and yada yada yada.. I'm not saying he did say this garbage but if we did and I was a recruit, I would be really pissed off and maybe consider leaving. Especially if I hadn't even been to practice yet. I just figured the NCAA would have some kind of exceptions in stuff like that. Doesn't seem fair to a player, because of a lying coach. If you can prove he mislead you on his character and that aided your decision on coming to that school, then I think you should be released. That's my only point. I don't care if any of them become Vols, and I never suggested that any of them would.

So when Paterno was fired, wasn't there a few players that left? Did the university let release them?
