Young head coach I talked to at a smaller size D1 said the Polk letter was just an old coach not liking change --- he said it is inevitable and they might as well get used to it.
My question is: what in the world is Miss State doing with 66 players at fall practice? Polk says he does not want to finish his career being "cruel" to players...but isn't it cruel to have 66 young men move their whole lives to a campus, enroll, and spend money to attend only to be cut or sent to JUCO at semester? No matter the roster limits, he could not keep 66 players. It is not fair to those young men because I guarantee he did not tell them the odds when he recruited them.
