[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 849189, member: 1191"] This is a good take. I am sure that it impacted football in other ways, but these three are definite. 1) A free year only helps old teams get older, especially if they can convince a large number of their contributing upperclassmen to stay. FWIW, I never thought Pitt was gonna be an easy out for us. They have good players and are well coached. Giving them a COVID year only makes them better. 2) This, IMO, cost us Gibbs. If he had to sit a year, he likely stays one more year before declaring for the draft. Having a free transfer gives him an opportunity to chase bigger dreams without penalty. (I will add, as much as it cost us Gibbs, I still agree with players getting a one time free transfer) 3) The long term implications of this are something I don't think we've begun to unpack yet. I do believe that a lot of fans used the opportunity to transition more to TV fans vs. attending fans. GTs trendline downward has remained pretty steady for the last 6-7 years, but I am betting it's a bit sharper at other ACC schools this year. [/QUOTE]
