for 3rd in total receptions for the whole team.
If those don't meet his expectations, how could you ever keep a kid with higher playing time expectations than that happy?

That's why it doesn't make sense. We don't really know for sure why he's leaving

And he's not coming back from an injury.

Maybe he's unhappy with targets? For example,

Kids should be able to go somewhere else if they think the grass is greener.

Until college athletes are fully paid employees, none of them should be forced

He is on scholarship, which is now his for all semester and can't be transferred

Not allowed under NCAA

Seems like that should probably be re-examined in light of other rule changes.

Did he get any NIL money?

Huge Manatee

That's between him and whoever he sold his NIL rights to.

shoganai

Whether we want to admit it or not, NIL is essentially pay for play

And it's up to the entity paying him to structure the contract in a way that

I get that it's that way

I have to believe these rich benefactors know the risks.

He is doing what he sees as HIS best interest. Not the best interest of the team

True, except for one thing: he's bailing in the middle of the season. Huge foul.

I don't necessarily disagree with this.

You are asking fans of a school and team (not just a single player) to side

The key to your post is your daughter told the coach she would look at other

True. That’s why it might be best to play for another coach

This is way to reasonable

I agree generally with what you’re saying, but it’s also possible this is

No coach should promise any playing time.

Arod said he was very surprised about Holker so my guess is he didn’t talk much
