Can a program really say a kid can't go where he wants? If Chapman wanted to transfer could he? Does it mean he has to sit out a year - but if he wanted to go somewhere else he could play immediately?

I have a hard time understanding how this works within normal restraint of trade concepts.

Anyway - can a coach truly tell a kid where he can't transfer to?

If I were running the BB Program I would go right after Chapman just to humiliate the U.
