7th year senior is the dumbest part of all this

I think UF still has a backup QB who graduated HS.

I would hope so.

I feel like if it was my seventh year I would have the name Blutarsky on the back of my jersey

Possibly with the number 0.0

Seven is wild, but I have heard of a couple athletes that went to elite universities and ended up with an MBA in six.

Smoke em if you got em on that.

Most of these guys will never sniff the nfl and even if they did and were a later round pick, would make 5-6x more playing a year of college vs a rookie contract in the nfl. I know this is relatively new but this is the reality. The majority of college athletes, especially in football, will do anything they can to get all the eligibility they can bc currently college is paying significantly more than 90% of rookie contracts in the NFL

Eta: probably more than 90%, i pulled that number out my arse. But outside the first round, can’t imagine the nfl is more profitable than an upper classman playing an (extra) year in college

For reference, the Sorsby bro that was supposed to come to lsu got offered $3.5 mill by MMR to come to lsu and turned it down for $5 mill from Cody Campbell and Texas Tech (Double Eagle)

Brock Purdy got $2.4 mill for his first 3 years in the NFL (total, around $880k/yr). Not hard to figure why college football players are trying to milk eligibility as much as they can

And all this is assuming you will go the nfl, sign a rookie contract, be successful enough to get offered a new contract, and stick around to sign. It’s kind of a no brainer to try and play college as much as you can and get paid $$$

7 years? It should be Dr Beck real soon.
