My take on Holker: My daughter is an athlete at another in-state school.

the problem is, Holker leads all TE's in all statistical categories and is tied

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

cougarim

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.

After the season in which they are getting a scholarship has concluded imo

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

9/21/22 5:30pm

I wouldnt have a problem if BYU chose to pull his scholarship immediately.

Not allowed under NCAA

Would be interesting to get all of the facts instead of getting so wrapped up

Did he get any NIL money?

9/21/22 5:33pm

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

shoganai

9/21/22 5:35pm

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

9/21/22 5:36pm

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

shoganai

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

9/21/22 8:59pm

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

Coaches first job is to win games. Giving all the players the play time they

I don't necessarily disagree with this.

cougarim

9/21/22 5:27pm

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

9/21/22 5:33pm

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

My daughter plays on a competitive soccer team as well. She just happens

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

cougfanz

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

This has Dad written all over it.

9/21/22 9:45pm
