I'm not sure that's true, at least in theory. One of the requirements of the grad transfer rule is that the transfer has to pursue a graduate degree not offered by his previous school (or so I've always understood it). I can't recall ever hearing of this becoming a roadblock to a transfer, so it may be a formality, but maybe it does prevent some transfers to some schools and it just doesn't get publicized when it happens. I don't know what grad programs nebraska doesn't offer, but there have to be some. Precepts of Catholicism, maybe? (I'm guessing if Andrew White want to pursue a Master's in Agriculture or Animal Husbandry, that might be a tougher sell).
I'm not celebrating this news so much. Sure, it's always fun to watch nebraska stumble around trying to be significant in any sport besides volleyball, but I feel the same way about Timmy as I did about Collier (and Pelini, and Doc, and that idiot baseball coach they had). I don't want this guy going anywhere. I like Tim Miles just fine right where he is. But I'm afraid that, just like all those other guys, he's going to screw up so consistently, or so spectacularly, that their AD can't ignore it any more, and he drops the axe on the guy. If nothing else, the law of averages says that if you give 'em enough chances, even nebraska will eventually get a coaching hire right. I know, there's no evidence of that yet (Riley, Erstad, Miles, yada, yada, yada), but it's bound to happen some day. Isn't it?
BTW, nebraska losing their best player might not seem quite so entertaining to some of us if White ends up at, say, Xavier or Seton Hall.
