VideoEagle Post makes a lot of sense then. Although since it is his grandfathers company....one would have thought he could play D1 football and after done and graduated he can go work with his grandfather. But whatever floats his boat.

One would think that having a college degree (Business Degree) would help lead him to carry on a very successfull and profitable trucking business for his Grandfather. But after 40+ years in business, what do I know?

Kenan, good luck GOOD BUDDY.

I almost added the same comment, but I have no idea what his major was.

Of course, being a geography major could have been useful to him as well.

I believe if you're going into the trucking industry, you would want to go into logistics & Supply Chain Management (assuming that he is going to run the company and not actually drive trucks). Did you know that UNT is the National Logistics Challenge Champions? Maybe if Flax was interested in only playing for a winner, he could have joined UNT's logistics team? Guess we'll never know.

Disappointing that he chose the truck driving over playing D-I football. He had a lot of potential at a position we need help at.

This team needs help at a lot of positions because of several previous signings that all end up with a player walking away from the program.

Maybe I'm being too picky...

But technically, THIS player is DRIVING away from the program.

Just like the article says, "He wasn't into school..."

What was that common cliche back in the late 80's early 90's for kids that were struggling to stay in school? "Be Cool and Stay in School".

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
