Kansas State's Sutton blasts school, Snyder for denying his release
Corey Sutton was none too pleased when he learned his release from Kansas State was being denied after he was made to believe it would be granted, and he's not staying quiet about it.
Sutton, a freshman wide receiver who saw minimal time for the Wildcats last season, announced his decision to transfer earlier this month before learning Wednesday from head coach Bill Snyder that he would in fact not be receiving his release, according to Kellis Robinett of The Wichita Eagle.
Sutton, to say the least, was not impressed.
"When I originally told Coach Snyder I was going to transfer he said, 'Well, Corey, I feel bad that you want to leave, but I can’t make you stay,'" Sutton said. "I dropped all my classes, moved out of Kansas and started looking at my options, then I find out they are denying me my release."
Sutton then shared what he feels is a double standard between players and coaches being allowed to leave programs.
"Coach Snyder told me today that when I signed my letter of intent that was my commitment to him, that I was going to be there for four years. I heard that and told him, 'Coaches can leave. So why can’t a player leave? You made a commitment to me that you were going to treat me the right way and that’s not what you’re doing.'"
The venting did not end there for Sutton, as he posted a series of tweets expressing his frustration with his situation.

Kansas State athletic director Gene Taylor was not available for comment, but it seems the bridge between Sutton and the Wildcats may already be burned.
"There are so many things messed up with that program," Sutton said. "Why would I ever go back?"
