Idaho has best linebackers in the conference

Lashley is a General Studies Major. I guess Boise State has a better General Studies program? I thought you were supposed to be able to transfer in these situations to a school with a major degree that isn't offered at your current school. This will also be Lashley's 6th! year in college. I guess he is following the rules, but this doesn't seem to be a good example of why the NCAA allows these kind of transfers.

"it has become controversial in football and men’s basketball due to high-profile cases and as data have emerged showing that many transfers in those two sports earn few graduate credits and leave school when their athletics eligibility expires."

General Studies is another name for an undeclared graduate student.

All he has to do is declare a grad program not offered at Idaho. He will probably be done when football season concludes anyhow.

"probably" be done when fb season concludes? We all know there is 0-2% chance he ever attends another class in 2019 (after fb season). Again, he is obviously following the (arbitrary) NCAA guidelines, so this isn't a personal slight on this dude, but I fail to see how or why the NCAA allows these kind of transfers. He isn't transferring to Boise in any shape or form for academic purposes. I'm against any transfers without sitting out a year unless your school drops football altogether like Pacific and Boston U did.
