Doug Smock: How will graduate transfers impact Herd?

He doesn’t care for the graduate transfer rule, but Marshall coach Doc Holliday knows he has to play the game, too.

It has become a new drug for roster junkies, but that’s not important. This is: A mid-major team’s fortunes can turn upward with a player who has gone south on a power conference team’s depth chart.

Some coaches have called for a change, and Holliday is among them.
