I posted this not seeing yours so going to bump yours lol. But like what the hell are we doing here. 5 schools is just ridiculous. The NCAA continues to sit on their hands and watch this circus show continue.

good example of yet another fallacy of NIL, not every kid is worthy of compensation, and not every kid is generating money for someone else due to his/her NIL

I thought he was doing well at Texas St? Didn’t even know he transferred to WKU

He should go the Southeastern and his football career would come full circle.

At this point I wonder if he transfers to maintain academic eligibility. He certainly hasn’t seen a classroom at the last two schools

I remember his mother seemed to be more invested in his career than him...lol...she was looking for that payday, and was comparing him to Cam Newton, when LSU benched him.

When has anyone ever argued otherwise? The vast majority of NCAA athletes cost their program money and will never make a dime professionally, this has been true since the dawn of time and has been beaten to death via title ix.

This is going to be a guy in 10 years who still thinks he’s about to get his NFL shot and he’s just waiting for the opportunity..

A journeyman college career is absolutely wild. Missed opportunity to build a legacy somewhere instead of just thinking ever pasture has greener grass

How does he have any eligibility left. Better yet, how does he have any self respect?

all the time, there is no individual player that generates any substantial revenue for the school/athletic program for the brief 2-3 years, if that, while they are at the school, it's the school/program that is bigger than the individual player or coach, and the individual player or coach that benefits from their brief time with the school/program

You think Joe Burrow generated no value for LSU’s brand? Dial back on the test bro, you’re seeing cognitive effects.

he was just another individual in the long history of the program, and given his athletic career at OSU, you could say that LSU did as much or more for him as he did for LSU
