...that I'd like to know the answer to, but never will.
Since Mac played the friend card and all, I wonder if he answered any of these for Jake?
1. Before your son committed to UNI, had you two planned that he would transfer to another school if you took a new job?
2. If so, did you tell Jake that was your plan or that you were even considering it? Was that understood when Jake extended the offer or did he expect Doug would be at UNI in any case?
3. If the Creighton job or an equivalent had opened up a year from now, would you and Doug have asked for his release from UNI after he was one year into the program?
4. Are you bothered by the fact that the decision that you and Doug made has put your buddy in a quite a pickle, and he makes a living doing this just like you do?
5. If Doug really wanted to play for you all along, why didn't he commit to ISU? If you decided later to take another job, he could have transferred to your new school at that point and used his red-shirt year to sit out. Or if you were fired and not working, he could have transferred to UNI to play for Jake at that point. Wouldn't that have been a more responsible approach for you two to take, and avoided having any negative impact on your friend? Or was that too inconvenient for you?
For some reason, there are certain people in the world who are given a tremendously wide berth to make decisions that are in their own interest with little accountability for the impact on others. For whatever reason, Mac is one of those guys.
