The big news out of NW today is that 2 assistant coaches, Howe and Kennedy, are being fired for not getting the vaccine as per the school's mandate.
This already caused a top recruit (Carter Young) who showed up to start school at NW this past Friday to leave that same day and enroll at Oklahoma State over the weekend after hearing the news. There are numerous rumblings that there are a bunch of big transfers potentially coming soon given all of the mandates. Since RU has required the vaccine, I can't see any way these developments would have a positive impact (i.e. it would only be someone transferring out of RU due to not getting vaxed and not the other way) since it's one of the 9 B1G schools to require it (I believe PSU, Iowa, Nebraska, and Wisc are the only ones that don't). Hopefully RU can avoid all of the drama but that obviously remains to be seen.
