What would the response be if, say, Aziz Shittu transferred to Low APR U? Confusion maybe. I'd root against him in the Big Game. I don't think I'd compare him to Benedict Arnold.

Perhaps you would keep calm, but consider the reaction of many of our fans to Mike Montgomery going "to the dark side." Heck, your reference to Benedict Arnold is apt as many Stanford fans (and if I recall correctly, the CBoard SW) referred to MM as Benedict Monty. And he was an employee with no alumni connection to the school.

Personally, if a player at a position of need for us left to play for C'al, barring a compelling personal reason, I'd be pretty perturbed.
