Collin Priest, the freshman baseball player who hit a Michigan record eight home runs, is transferring to Clemson.
From what I understand, Michigan offered a partial scholarship last year and then asked his family to pay the balance using the out-of-state tuition instead of giving them a break and using in-state pricing. I have no idea if it's some law that they have to do that, but It put quite a strain on the family, and with his outstanding performance on the field, other opportunities have presented themselves. Apparently, the athletic department has done little financially to encourage him to stay, so he'll be taking his swings at Clemson next year.
I should have more information down the road, and when I do, I'll let you know.
Of course, this is coming from his perspective, and the story always has two sides.
