So we're getting ready to go to bowl game we have players visiting and committing yet for some reason the powers that be decide to pin to the top a post about someone who didn't want to be here anymore.

[Aquila_Viridis]

For God’s sake. This can hardly get any worse for me. Well he will find himself in one of the absolute worst programs and athletic departments in the country. If he gets to play, Virginia Tech will probably send him to his grave at the end of the season.

Man, what an absolute joke of a landing spot.

Mods should also change the Bowl poster at the Top of Football page....the one with the PLAYERS no longer willing to play for us.

I hear you.  That said, don’t expect they can realistically change the posters every day to reflect all the players coming and whoreing.

[Wag Tag]

Stay healthy.

Not sure if it is much better, but it sounds like it is Virginia, not VT.

[Rudy]

LOL. Yeah, good luck. 

[THOR]

Nah what I’m saying is if he is playing for Virginia, then when they face VT who we (I went to Virginia after NT) play each year and never beat, then he will be sacked into the ground by VT. Try to imagine being a fan of not just NT but also Virginia which must get the least bang for the buck of any football team. It’s sad they are even looking at this dude.

He may just sit on the bench and count his money, like Rogers at Cal.

Yeah what an idiot getting a degree (or grad degree) from one of the best public institutions in the nation....

[Meangreen Fight]

If you aren’t earning enough to buy a house in metro area you want to live with cash left after taxes, this is a dubious move.  Being a QB star at an above 0.500 G5 team putting up big numbers in a big market probably has more positive impact on your NFL prospects than just being a decent starter on middle/lower tier P4 team.  I saw Spencer Rattler play well for the Saints this past Sunday in fill-in duty.  I wonder how his career is different if had come in a program akin to ours with a coach who likes to throw the ball a bunch?  And Virgina is foolish if they are devoting all good chunk of their overall NIL budget to Morris.  I don’t think Morris can affect winning at that program to the point they get more TV exposure than they currently do.  If he was rated as a game changer at middle tier P4 level by the consensus opinion scouts at this point in his career he would be transferring as the presumptive starter at profile program than UVA and getting even more money.

He's getting north of $500k and getting to finish out his college career at a P4 program that has elite academics.  Lil' Morris' dad fleeced Arkansas for about $20m so I don't think he's gonna have to worry about begging for nickels under Harry Hines.

Yup. He totally went there for the degree.

He grabbed a quick check and will likely be riding the bench all season on his way to a... technical writing degree?

Everyone’s family financial situation is different.  And I am sure “elite academics” factored in.  Mentioning academics is comedic coming from a supporter of the original poster child child of Pay for Play program Pony Express.  🤪🤣🤣🤪.   Every QB that has more than a cup of coffee in the NFL does well financially.  The question is do you want to make money AND have the best chance to get drafted into the NFL?Putting up good numbers starting for any FBS team that is competitive helps those NFL dreams more than sitting on the bench or floundering for middle tier reputation P4 team.  He probably could have went to any “elite academic” college that serious about FBS level football as freshman or first time transfer.     Some of us jump all over Rodgers transferring to Cal.  Cal has the more famous reputation as an elite academic institution than Virgina to the masses. (UVA ranked 24 and Cal ranked 17 in US News).  Valued transfers go to Cal and UVA  for the academics like transfers go to Boise State for the weather.
