<![CDATA[FCS pity party]]>Vernon Adams is gone, gone, gone to Oregon.  To his credit, he bore down and got his degree at Eastern Washington before he exhausted his eligibility.  That means he’s free to transfer to another school.  It’s one of the few bones the NCAA throws student-athletes.  It’s a reward for, well, being a true student-athlete.  You work your ass off the right way, you get some control back over your football career.

And, naturally, that means it sucks for some coaches.

Vernon Adams passed for 658 yards and six touchdowns against Montana State the past two seasons, leading Eastern Washington to a victory each time.

Still, Bobcats coach Rob Ash is disappointed to see Adams transfer from the Big Sky to the Pac-12 and wants Football Championship Subdivision coaches to push to change the rule that allows the dynamic quarterback to play for Oregon next season.

”We’re Division I like the other level,” Ash said in a telephone interview. ”Our guys need to start and finish at the same school. We cannot be perceived as a farm system or Triple-A ballclub or anything like that.”

Cry me a river, Rob.

Oh, and stay classy, Eastern Washington.
