More reasons the NCAA is run by idiots.

The heir to Chad Henne's thrown as Quarterback for Michigan, Ryan Mallet, is leaving Ann Arbor due to the coaching change. Lloyd car will be bringing his pro style offense with him, while incoming coach Rich Rodriguez will be implementing the spread offense. For those who don't know, the spread offense requires a QB that can run slightly better than he can throw. Think the option with an occasional forward pass.

Anyway, the awesome and always reasonable rules of the NCAA will make Mallet ineligible to play next year, essentially delaying him for a year. Yes, he'll have three years left to play but missing a year in the ultra-competitive world of college sports is huge. The depth chart goes as deep as 9th string in some programs. This is exactly what happened to me when I was playing football. The coach left, I transferred, and boom my career was over. Plain and simple, I'm wasted talent.
