Bain is already in Akron working out with the team.

Not true. I'm sure if the Akron coaches thought he was a head case they wouldn't of offered him a scholarship. But I suppose there are always doubters so he will just have to prove them wrong. Too bad he has to sit out a year.Iowa people are saying that because he chose to leave their program. You have to realize that the Iowa Hawkeyes are the only 'big" D1 football team Iowa has (besides Iowa State) with a huge fan base. They are very parcel to their program and to their in state players. Bain had been considering of transferring for a year prior to making his decision. You can be sure Iowa wanted him to reconsider his decision and gave him time but he ultimately decided to transfer while he had two years of playing time left.

Just a thought. People shouldn't believe everything they read. Papers like to over dramatize things and some people enjoy saying things they know nothing about.Bain did see the field quite a bit at Iowa, in fact even started some games. And did a good job. I have never read anything indicating that Bain thinks playing time is owed to him, in fact that is the opposite of what I have read of his interviews.Sometimes things aren't a good fit and athletes do transfer for a variety of reasons. Due do the transfer rule of sitting out, if you want to transfer it's a good idea to do it when you have a couple years of eligibility left. I don't think coaches would give a scholly to a transfer athlete unless they thought it was a good fit and I don't think an athlete would transfer to a school unless they thought they could contribute to that school.I think that Bain just wants to play football, maybe more than he was playing at Iowa. What's wrong with that? I think that is the reason for a lot of transfers, the athletes just aren't happy. Maybe we should just be happy about it.

Rumor is true. Ryan Bain will be moving to Akron this summer.
