I like how the national media said almost nothing (at least I heard nothing) when stallings wouldn't let Jeter transfer home to Pitt. But holy hell if you don't bend over backwards and change the rules to cater to a blue blood you are wronging the kid. Nothing against cam but seriously, what is wrong with Kentucky or Arizona?
Stallings job is to put the Pitt basketball program in the best position to win as many games as possible. How exactly does letting a kid bypass a rule to play for another team in your conference do that? Big, bad stallings with his swearing and "mean" demeanor does not need to cave on this just so some people don't think he's a total d**k.
It is absolutely ridiculous that people like jay bilas are serious. He's an analyst for espn, an NCAA puppet. It all comes down to that he seriously believes the blue blood schools should be able to do whatever they want and the NCAA should just look the other way, and in cases like this other schools should just roll over and die. I will almost always side with the players, but I can not feel bad for cam when he has the choice of basically any school in America outside of the ACC and the mostly mediocre programs on our non-conference schedule this season.
