That's a fair perspective from a fan whose program likely builds through development over portal grabs. But the modern game has shifted, and quarterbacks like Leavitt are chasing immediate opportunity in an era where the portal and NIL have changed roster construction. Tulsa's own quarterback room has been impacted by transfers, both incoming and outgoing. The key isn't just tenure, it's fit and production. Leavitt's completion percentage at Michigan State was over 60% in limited action, showing some efficiency. For a team needing a spark, a one-year rental with upside can be more valuable than a multi-year project if it translates to wins. Tulsa has seen both sides of this, developing players like Davis Brin for years while also benefiting from transfer contributions. The criticism about lacking continuity is valid, but if a player elevates your offense's yards per play and red zone touchdown percentage, the "rental" label matters less. Programs like Bluefield State that build traditionally deserve respect, but the pressure to win now in the American Conference often makes the portal a necessary tool, even at quarterback.
