'I'm concerned for college football right now,' Penn State Nittany Lions coach James Franklin said about the 'no-win' situation quarterback Beau Pribula faced in transferring.
Beau Pribula, the now-former Penn State quarterback, attended the team's practice Sunday in State College, though he wasn't truly there. Nittany Lions coach James Franklin sensed it. They had talked for weeks about navigating the minefield planted by the NCAA and college football, the schedule it imposed and the "impossible decsion" that Pribula said it created.and leave the team before it begins the College Football Playoff. Penn State removed his name from the online roster.
It's the transfer portal window that is open from Dec. 9-28, concurrent with the first round of the College Football Playoff. Yes, players whose teams are competing in the playoffs have a bonus five-day window when their season ends. Theoretically, Pribula could have waited. Practically, though, he would have lost ground against fellow quarterbacks in the portal jockeying for the few spots at premium programs across the nation.
"Number one, I hate it, most importantly, for Beau Pribula. I don't think it's in the best interests of the student-athlete. I don't think it's in the best interests of college football. But I think that's our challenge right now, right? Who is really running college football and making the best decisions for the student-athletes and for our sport as a whole? Beau should not be put in this position.
