No.

Obviously.

Lower level BCS offers and pretty much every MAC school.

He broke his leg at the beginning of the year last year. He was expected to back up the starting LBs. I assume he would have played special teams and would have seen the field some on defense as well.

Story is now on twitter. KU and Weis confirm the transfer.

Re: Jake Farley

From the Register:

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Linebacker Jake Farley is transferring from Kansas to Northern Iowa, where the sophomore will play for his father.

The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Farley has been a scout squad player at Kansas, where his father Mark was an assistant coach from 1997-2000. Mark Farley is now the head coach at Northern Iowa.

Kansas coach Charlie Weis met with Farley on Friday and said in a statement Monday that he wished him “success and happiness as he returns home to be with his family.”

Farley said in the same statement that he’s been impressed with the job Weis has done since taking over for the fired Turner Gill after last season, but that the opportunity to play for his father and have his family watch him play was too good to pass up.

As if he didn't have that opportunity before???

Sometimes, after high school, one craves independance. Time out on one's own, away from one's parents.
And sometimes, after spending some time away, one starts to crave more family time.

Perhaps that was the case, or perhaps it was something different entirely. Who knows?

Whatever the case, I hope that Jake is able to enjoy his time at UNI.

Exactly. He didn't know two years ago that his sister would be playing volleyball at Wartburg. A lot changes in one's decision making from age 18 to 20. A lot of growing up and re-evaluating things.

Moreover, the head coach that recruited him has been fired. Lots of changes are happening at Kansas. He knows UNI football/program.

Re: Jake Farley

1. Better chance of playing right away
2. KU is BCS but is also the laughingstock of the big 12. Its more fun to win games.
3. After a new perspective might be able to play for pops without it ruining their relationship.
4. Mom and dad at every game.

Re: Jake Farley

Welcome Jake to the UNI program. We wish you the best!

Re: Jake Farley

Did he play at all for KU? Coming to play for daddy is he? Was he pretty highly recruited out of high school?

Hey Colin, don't you have researchers that can dig up information for you?
