whenever a player is actually planning on playing a 5th (or 8th or 9th in some cases) season.
Which meant that back in the days of when players stayed at the same school their entire career (for the vast majority) and transferring meant giving up a season, it really was something that Bronco could control.
But now with free transfers? So what if Bronco is saying get off his team. The kid can just go somewhere else.
Bronco had a weird way of saying things, but pretty much every coach handled things that way back then. They weren't going to apply for a redshirt for a player who wasn't contributing.
