Felt unsafe/uncomfortable, but not enough to stop playing and transfer right away. Had to see if he could pull the starting job away from Fromm first. He didn't, so he transferred. Simple as that. There's 'hardship' outside of him not being able to beat out the incumbent.

The instant the N word is uttered within an earshot of him at OSU, he should be required to transfer immediately.

"What's the big deal with the N-word?"

- a bunch of white dudes. How about you let the kid play where he wants to play and worry about more important things?
He should have transferred immediately *

while simultaneously disregarding the fact that the young man was in the middle of a semester.

You’re positing a rule in which the victims of racist taunts

He's putting a stake in the ground and saying he can't be there because of the incident. If a similar incident happens elsewhere, why shouldn't that same standard be upheld? Does being a starting QB make it less threatening/intimidating?

If he actually felt intimidated/threatened, why wait 5 months for the transfer? It is so glaringly obvious that this kid is full of it.

This case will set a dangerous precedent where anyone will be able to claim they were a victim of verbal abuse, whether it be racial slurs, bullying, whatever...and then be allowed to transfer with immediate eligibility.

What if he’s not comfortable on the baseball team?

You know, having to play with the buddies of the dude that called him the “N” word.
