He played in 3 games last season.
contract. I hope he saved some of the money.
he didn't want to be at Notre Dame. You would rather he be forced to stick it out and then transfer?
those things are slanted completely in favor of the school.
to campus and who isn’t?
don't be ridiculous. This is all set up to benefit the school and the coaches.
If I remember right, there was an issue that he wanted to announce it to his high school and keep the suspense, but ND received his fax early and put his signing out there on a press release. So he was upset about that.
(which seems kind of weird)
Then he said he needed/wanted to be near his grandmother, but I believe she lived in SF area, but he went to UCLA.
I'm not defending the snarks. I just think that's where it is coming from. I'm with you, ND fans have not had many issues with incoming transfers.
and wants to go somewhere else, let him.
It is always so tough to find that at ND and he picked us over Alabama.
Never even gave it a chance (unlike Aaron Lynch or even Gunner Kiel).
Why bother Eddie? You pumped up our hopes - it would have been better to just take Bama and then leave there in a few months.
your career, whereas I don't think that'd be the case for baseball or basketball. Obviously, that's hard to prove, but who knows if that couldn't be going through some of these guys's minds.
I don't doubt that some may have legitimate medical concerns re: Covid. And I don't fault these players making their own choices but I suspect for many it has nothing to do with fear of getting covid.
I bet some would normally be free agents after this year and are anticipating a free agent year when the salary cap is going to go way down. They opt out this year, move this year's contract year to 2021, and become free agents in 2022. Why burn a full contract year when there is a decent chance there isn't going to be a full year and then walk into a free agent year when the money isn't there?
I know that is a jaundiced view.
Important because of free agency and post-NFL benefits.
If he gets cut from the team for sucking, then he loses the year.
risk players get that year
I think they also see the writing on the wall. No sense wasting a bunch of time going g through the nonsense of even a COVID preseason when there wont even be a season. MLB couldnt even get through opening weekend and had to cancel games and the NFL is going to do it.
I think they should play because the issue of harm is so far away for these guys particularly with other injuries they could suffer but at the end of the day parts of America couldnt control themselves to at least present a level of unacceptablility to play so there you go.
