I've never understood this type of destructive self-righteousness.
I can't imagine Coach Cal is calling up CJ January saying "hey, if you want to transfer you have a spot at Kentucky." But I do imagine most schools have ways of finding out about guys who may not be happy, and getting a message to someone around the kid saying they'd have a spot if he were to transfer. And with college sports, you either have to learn to adapt or take your self-righteous attitude to unemployment.
Hell knoweth no fury like a woman scorned!
