Cory Sutton being blocked by KSU's Snyder to transfer

[southernfriedCY]

"I told my coaches I was depressed there. I told my coaches I had to go counseling there. They just don’t get it. There are so many things messed up with that program.”

Ouch!

Whar Surly?

Got a story to link with that, or did he tell you personally?

Two sides to every story. But unless or until KSU gives their side they are definitely going to look like the bad guys. Why block all 35 schools on his list?

That's pretty messed up. Blocking him from everywhere?! Really bad look and if what he says is true about the starting thing, that is also pretty messed up.

KC sports radio was praising Bill Snyder for his stance yesterday. One guy likened it to someone signing up for boot camp and then trying to back out. Seriously.

I'm curious to see how it plays out, especially since it's not us doing it.

When the facts come about Snyder being an ass, Surly is no where to be found.

He only comes around to post lists that have KSU highly ranked.

@surly

I generally like your posts.

I would be curious your view on this one.

Schools should be required to provide a reason for each school they are blocking.

Obviously K-State has their side of the story but blocking 35 schools can't be justified.

They've been out for a long time, but everyone just chooses to ignore them because he's the "wizard".

If the kid doesn't want to be there, what is the possible justification to not let him go?

They're letting him go. They just aren't letting him go anywhere else on scholarship.

That said, it will be interesting to see what K-State eventually offers up in explanation...this is not a ringing endorsement of their program and leadership as it stands right now...

I don't want to sound like a K-State apologist, but a kid can make up any number of reasons for transferring, legitimate or not. If he's truly so depressed and anxious to get out of there, there are plenty of other schools to look at outside of those 35. That being said, 35 schools is a lot...

Edit: Can they block division 2 and FCS schools? I thought they were except from the transfer regulations.

There is no excuse to block that many schools. Blocking conference opponents and scheduled non-cons is perfectly fine but K-State has crossed the line.

You think there were legitimate reasons they block every single school? It wouldn't matter what schools were on the list, Snyder was going to block them regardless.

Good look for KSU, they wear it well.

I don't know if this is playing devils advocated here but if I were an HC at ISU I probably wouldn't release a kid to play for another Big 12 team or any big 10 teams either, at least the ones we find ourselves recruiting against regionally. ISU doesn't need to be UT or tOSUs JUCO.

The negatives of Iowa State blocking B1G schools would far outweigh any positives on the recruiting trail.
