Scott Frost

Scott Frost is implying that Oregon State tampered with Nebraska football players, restricting Greg Bell from transferring to OSU.  He did this after three Husker players transfered to Corvallis, and after OSU previously had been charged by Hawaii's head coach of player tampering.

Question to Oregon fans, who may know Scott Frost the best after his successful Eugene stint.  Is he the type of guy who would be on the level with this accusation?  Or is this more likely sour grapes because of his Nebraska teams' awful 0-6 start?

Not sure how that factors in?

I know I’m not in Eugene, but my hunch is this is a little of both.  From what I’ve seen, he is not a particularly gracious loser.  That said, if there is smoke, I’d guess there is a little fire.  Quite a coincidence there are a few allegations and everyone from unl is now headed there.

Frost is a whiny bitch who can't shut his mouth. He whined about recruiting to Oregon, he's thrown his players under the bus twice this year for penalties and quality of play, and now this. Just shut up and coach dude.

Sounds to me like Frost is lashing out.  @Downthefield, your obvious attempts to get under my skin are failing.  Bad.  And this thread is old news and the issue was brought up and put to bed like a week ago.  It's particularly dumb to bring it up now that the transfer rules are relaxed AS OF TODAY.

From one of the Nebraska forums:

But lets not pretend that something is not going on at OSU. Here are the facts.

1. Oregon State cites 'clerical error' in sending recruiting flyers to Hawaii players.

2. 3 Nebraska players transfer to OSU.

3. 4 Star Addison Gumbs transfers from Oklahoma to OSU.

Looks like OSU is recruiting players on other teams to me.

Another post there: 

And for the record, I don't care one bit about Oregon State doing this. If we have some guy who thinks he's going to get a better deal in freakin Corvallis, he needs his head examined and we don't want him anyway.

Who gives a shit? That transfer registry is here anyway, and aren't we forgetting that Mike Riley was at Nebraska and now(yes still in some capacity until that new joke league starts) is back at OS? These players have existing relationships, and ffs, if you want playing time in a west coast power 5 conference, where better than OS right now?

Gumbs and Gebbia are from Cali and Lindsey is from Nevada.

I dunno man, I transferred from one school to another so I might be uniquely qualified to understand

I'm qualified to speak on this topic too.  I believe you are familiar with the benefits of having a Stanford degree and the type of doors that it opens.  Nebraska does have its strengths and having the degree in the right field of study would be really good in the eyes of the HR specialists who would hire you but it's clear that Stanford is the more reputable name.  There are some fields of study where it doesn't really matter such as accounting (my field) because with accounting, every type of business, government agency, etc requires some form of accounting.  I do privately snicker at the Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska grads at work since I'm like "you spent that amount of money to get an accounting degree from those prestigious colleges when you could have done it on the cheap?" :lol:  I'm not sure how it applies to the teaching field which you are part of.  Some universities might have garbage business departments but highly ranked engineering departments.  The local job requirements sometimes will impact the college choices within that location.  The University of Oklahoma might not be an academic powerhouse but they got one of the top meteorologist schools with a special focus on tornadoes due to the frequency of tornadoes in that region.  Colorado State has arguably the top vet school in the country.  Sometimes the job that you desire (for me it was a career in the government) that requires you to go far away from home (DC for me).  One time I had a field day at a local pharmacy and if I wanted to get into that field, the University of Wyoming was pretty much the school in my region to go to if I wanted to work towards that field.  CU is well known for its aerospace engineering and one strength about the University of Missouri was its journalism school, and Iowa State was good for highway engineering since they have an USDOT facility in Ames.  It also seems like schools that had "Normal" in their names would be the best teacher colleges for that state since that would explain Northern Colorado being Colorado's teacher college while ASU would be Arizona's teacher college if I'm not mistaken.  UA has that observatory and along with CU, gets the highest amounts of funding from NASA. 

Now back to the topic, did Frost err in transferring from Stanford to Nebraska?  Maybe not since he has a nice $35 million dollar contract to coach the Cornhuskers.  Maybe he did since he's subject to the ridicule of "downgrading" from Stanford to Nebraska.  I'd say it's almost akin to transferring to ASU from UA especially the undergraduate path.  That is why I don't buy into the undergraduate rankings of colleges when it comes to speculation on conference expansion.

The real issue here is free agency, and how the NCAA, P5 conferences, and schools (some who are unscupulous) will react.  Some are saying that transfers should only be allowed early in the season.  There is also the question of allowing transfers within conferences. 

I guess I'm most understanding of players doing this when their coaches leave and they end up with a deal that they hadn't signed up for.  I'm pretty sure we're going to be hearing a lot more on this subject.
