football_dburtonOn November 28, 2021, in reaction to the news that Lincoln Riley, the head football coach for the University of Oklahoma, was leaving to become the new head coach at the University of Southern California, Clay Travis, the founder of the sports commentary website Outkick.com, wrote (tweeted) that “this is vintage college football and why no fans trust coaches. The fact that college coaches have no non-competes — they are the only highly paid people in sports I’ve ever heard of that don’t have them in their contracts — makes this kind of craziness possible.” Mr. Travis presumably became even more exasperated when the news broke a short time later that Brian Kelly, the head coach of Notre Dame’s football team, was also leaving, to take over as head coach at Louisiana State University.
