When a University of Oklahoma football player wants to transfer, there's very little drama that comes along with it.
"''Let him go where ever he wants to,' is pretty much all I can remember saying," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. "I don't much care where they go."

Conferences have their own restrictions regarding transfers. The Big 12, for instance, requires athletes who move from one of its conference schools to another to sit out two seasons before they can receive a scholarship.
Big East athletes participating in football, men's basketball and women's basketball cannot transfer within the conference under any circumstances. The ACC prohibits inter-conference transfers for one year.
Those policies have created a backlash from some critics who accuse the NCAA and its member schools of a double standard. They point out that head and assistant coaches often move between in-conference schools without penalty.
