It was pretty clear when the NCAA made their latest reckless rule change that chaos would ensue. But it also brought some straight up lunacy. One of the most unexpected by-products was the phenomena of starting quarterbacks leaving their old schools behind. Some followed a coach. Others ran from a new coach. Perhaps even others were looking for a “new start”. Yet, very few “upgraded” to a better program.
