That is surprising. Maybe somebody checked into player eligibility.

Wonder if these departures hastened Sanders' retirement.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but that sounds pretty weird.

Odd that a coach in his mid 50s who took a program to an 11 win season and the best season in decades would just immediately retire.
My dad always says that if something doesn't make sense, you don't know the whole story.
…and
Fowlkes got the publicity cuz he’s an 8th year Sr (citizen), but Manuel, by a good ways, was the better of the 2. Has 2 years of eligibility remaining.
“FCS. We’re the new JUCO’s. Shop us and see!”

Bummer for ETSU. They win their first playoff game in 25 years and within days lose their coach and three best players.
Totally agree! The FCS "blue chips" have become the new juco transfers. The only way a FCS program gets an Ingle Martin type transfer would be a situation where a guy is buried on the depth chart of a program and has yet to showcase himself.
It is difficult to know where it all leads.
Admittedly, though, there aren't many "Ingle Martin-type" transfers in FCS football even before the rules change. Randy Moss transferred to Marshall. Joe Flacco to Delaware. Ingle Martin to Furman.
Outside of those three, I can't think of too many blue chip type players that transferred to 1AA/FCS and just lit the world on fire. Ingle Martin was a once-in-a-generation type thing.

Rare at FU. Not that rare overall across FCS. The rules still allow for them, but the rules have now changed to point the arrow in the other direction.The Jackal wrote: ↑Tue Dec 14, 2021 2:07 pmThey exist.
