  The transfer portal has led to what most now call free agency in college athletics. Not getting enough paying time? Transfer. Don't like the coach? Transfer. Think the grass is greener somewhere else? Transfer. When a top line player opts to leave there are a lot of questions and in the case of Arizona State punter Michael Turk, the situation is complicated. Turk stunned all last week when he asked ASU compliance officials to enter him into the transfer portal. The timing made it an interesting move. The deadline for players to transfer and still be eligible to play the coming season at an FBS school was July 1, but since Turk is a grad transfer he actually could play this season.

The move appears to be tied to an ASU policy that athletes - or any individuals for that matter - who have not been vaccinated will not be part of the traveling party for any road game. Turk is a deeply religious individual, who has made his feelings on that issue public through social media, announced his decision to transfer on his YouTube channel. He has not given a reason for the transfer and did not respond to a text message left for him regarding that issue. That was not necessarily surprising because Turk, one of the premier punters in the country, has always preferred to keep a lower profile and has never particularly enjoyed dealing with the media. ASU athletic director Ray Anderson put out a statement after an inquiry from some media explaining the school's policy, which makes it sound like Turk's move was prompted by the policy. - Arizona Republic
