It’s likely best for him to go somewhere out of the obvious market range of the Denton Record-Chronicle.

I don't think that Sanger has a University.

I really hope when a player decides this they lose all access to facilities and are not able to be around the team during practice times of course.

That may be the case already and if not it needs to be treated as an employee departure situation. No need to impact morale, distract focus or be around sensitive information.

I have been wondering something similar to this with the players that are quitting on their teams four games in and saying they will transfer. I am hoping that they are no longer allowed to use facilities and at that point I would love for the University to tell them they have the choice of paying a prorated portion of their tuition and fees for the semester or they are allowed to drop out completely.

PS I have absolutely no problem if they announce their transferring after the season to let them finish out the semester at the university but quitting on a team four games into a season or this young man's case of getting in trouble and not being allowed to play and then leaving the university should not be paying this

No need for anyone to get bent out of shape on this one. Spruiells was always going to be a 3rd or 4th team DB option. Whatever happened didn't help. Makes sense for him to return back to FCS. Northern Arizona was his best offer of only a few coming out of HS.  (Can't be more than 5-6, 160)

Transferring is the politically correct way of saying he was kicked off the team. 

My thoughts. Gets to save face and walks away quietly. For his sake, I hope he stays out of trouble and finds a home.

This. He was not going to see playing time and they knew it. If he was a better player, he would be back like X’Avion Brice and BJ Allen Jr. considering all three were charged with the same thing.

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
