football players when paid  Nil money will become just like coaches; mere employees where they are paid based on performance and aren't retained (or pushed out) when they dont perform

I really don't have a problem with this. There's a lot of time and resources' put into a players development. But, when a player QUITS on the team and coach and walks out the door, have a nice life. I'm pretty sure that when the @The Sheriff's employee left he didn't just pick up the phone and say, "Hey, I'm out! See Ya!" in the middle of a project.

These kids want to be part of the real world, so it's high time they learn that they have to live with their decisions.

9 pages for a man who withdrew from the portal. I wish Battie well at Auburn. If they can figure it out they have a very talented player. Can we move on from this? lol

I think the topic is stimulating interest on the board due to the brave new world of college football we’ve entered with the realities of NIL and the transfer portal upending the sport. In addition, not sure there are too many cases of kids wanting to go back to their original school after chasing NIL deals. Interesting all around, in my opinion.

Plus, what the feck are going to talk about until the Spring game

I too wish Battie well. He seemed like a good kid on top of being a hell of a player. I’m sure he’ll end up fine at Auburn.

I too wish Battie and, for that matter, any other former Bulls transfers well.  I don't begrudge any student athlete their choices.  But they have to make their decisions and live with them just like the rest of us mere mortals.

We don't technically know all the background info though.  It may not have been as black and white as everyone assumes.

He will sadly be forgotten in Bulls lore.

Our 2nd All American.  His name, along with Selvie, will pop up in every future article there is when USF produces another All American.

Was thinking the same thing myself.

2 Time All American at USF. Could have done more here than where he is now.

Best of luck to him this season.

Almost feels like he went into the portal to try and come back to USF and withdrew. Hope he can shine at Auburn this season.

Or he went into the portal to find out if he could get another payday
