Between Lindsey Scott and TJ Finley, these two guys will have attended 10 universities (9 if we are not double counting LSU).

Well, at least he’s consistent. People that do things like this have a very hard time in life with things not going their way. I would be ashamed if I was going to be at 4 schools in 4 years let alone 5 in 5. It speaks to weak character.

Is this young man going to be able to get a degree? Do all of his credits transfer over?

He may be making more now, even with modest NIL money than he will make once he doesn’t graduate.

yep, you would think by this point somebody in his life would have pointed out to him that it's time to move on, NFL ain't happening

ETA: or he could be like that former NFL receiver that wanted to play in every "professional" football league there ever was, can't remember who that was

When they get their limited anti trust exemption, they will be on better footing to clamp down on this.

Nil is why this is becoming the norm. It's like changing jobs is all. He has no shot at an NFL career(maybe scout team) so, get whatever for now.

Serious question: how is this situation supportive of your claim? Why should a player like this languish on teams he obviously shouldn't be on?

Well, he's passed up and down the field 60 times. Better than most. Good luck to him.

he obviously isn't good enough, I wonder if he keeps getting jobs because he was an LSU signee and everyone is thinking there has to be something there

He'll probably be the first player to ever play for five schools.

He should consider NSU . They are looking for somebody, anybody, even a warm body .
They should drop down to D - 3 .

My statement was made more in the sense of: There are approximately 500 QBs across the 134 FBS rosters. How many have passed for 6000 yards in their careers?

No, he's back up level at best. Looking for a little NIL money while he has a chance.

honestly, there should really only be one D1 school in Louisiana, the other little schools step for the rent-a-win beat down money, Tulane is borderline

WKU got curbstomped by Jax St in the CONF USA championship game. No listed stats for Finley. He wasn't good enough to even be a Hilltopper.
