Perhaps Thomas knows with the pending NCAA investigation it's time to get the hell out of Dodge.

Unreal, buckeye. Even if Oregon were blasted with sanctions, with allegations, appeals, and the process, bowl sanctions wouldn't even be relevant to DT.

I'm having a hard time understanding why Thomas entering the draft is so funny to some.

Yeah on the surface one might think "he'll never play in the NFL"....but dude threw for 70 TDs versus only 15 INTS in college. A better ratio than most QBs entering the draft including golden boy Andrew Luck.

I think what someone said earlier about Bennett being the better player, and that having something to do with it. As an Oregon fan, I'm glad to hear DT is leaving.

Depends on how involved he was. Look at our situation last season. It certainly affected 5 players and that was before the NCAA sanctions were handed down.

Same with Miami. If the NCAA was to suspend any Oregon players (and I have no idea if they would) the suspensions would take place before any sanctions take place.

I agree, but the reaction in this thread to DT's announcement is as if this dude didn't do a thing in college

You'd think after everybody predicted Cam to fall on his face people would be more measured in their "he'll never make it" comments.

No one outside of tOSU considers what happened to you guys "sanctions." If there ever was a lack of institutional control, it was tOSU.

well cam was a 6-5, 250 lb load of a runner with an elite arm. and his production is an outlier in the grand scheme of things

The reports of Chip to the Bucs now makes sense as to why DT left

An elite arm? No one in the world said this coming into the draft.
