Maybe, but I totally get it.

For those that haven't played D1 sports, the idea of getting out there in front of a large crowd playing D1 football, especially as quarterback, is an awesome fantasy. It's why we all still play football video games (OK, just the losers of us).

I totally understand that this would be coming for an end for him, and to be able to extend it a few years at a different school would be a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Shoot, he can check the "starting QB for ND" box already. Now he just wants to maximize his chances to compete.

There is no "after college" football.
