UH QB D'Eriq King transferring

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

My read on it WITHOUT knowing the facts, is that he wants to transfer but if he goes in the portal, Houston can revoke his scholarship - if he says he wants to redshirt, he stays on scholarship until after the season and assuming he graduates can graduate transfer to another school

This makes some sense. Very interesting to see this rule invoked, apparently, by players (and their parents) rather than by the school. None of this can be good for Coug High morale.

Kind of a dangerous precedent for the NCAA in general too.

Yep. And apart from the student-athlete dimension, it mirrors a lot of players attempting to take control in ways they could not before: Anthony Davis and the Pelicans, and the "flu" that Jalen Ramsey is currently suffering from in Jacksonville.

pretty big dollar swings also. Imagine what the walk up tickets sales will be for Houston football for the rest of the year if they fall apart.

Fratatta might be about to employ Dad as southwest manager for all those restaurants - but no need to come to work.
