Yes, if they ball out and they think that transferring gives them a better opportunity to play professionally, or reach whatever professional goals they have I am okay with it.

How much money did the Big South and UNCA make from their post-season birth? How much of that money did Sutton receive? Whatever gratitude you think Sutton owes UNCA, it's been paid in full.

Welcome to 2016. It's not headed there, we're there. It's not ideal, but it's not classless, as you initially suggested. It's a business and Keatts, Bass, & UNCW have an obligation to field competitive basketball teams (with STUDENT-athletes we can be proud of in the classroom and on the hardwood). They have no obligation to UNCA or whatever antiquated ideals you espouse.
Have you ever changed companies? When you left, was it classless or displaying a lack of gratitude? Or, did you give them your best on a daily basis and leave for more money or a better opportunity? It's not all about self, but if Sutton has an opportunity to better his circumstances, it doesn't make him a bad guy, and UNCW is not classless for giving him an opportunity.
The NCAA is making millions and we're going to attack kids for trying to get ahead.
