While some have pointed fingers at the players for rushing their commitments or walking onto campus with a sense of entitlement, one anonymous coach believes the responsibility falls on his peers instead of the student-athletes.
"We don't have a transfer epidemic," the coach told Brian Snow of Scout. "We have a stupid coaches epidemic."
