Depends on just how much NIL he made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it was personal. Disagree, if that was the case he needs to make room. Either way, he is back with Auburn so who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe to say it was more than what he would have had here. Future earnings could be sacrificed if he doesn't play at Auburn as much as he would have here.

Nor do I care. Horn and weaver quit on the bulls last year and Battie left he team after saying he was staying. Battie at least finished the season. I am glad Colorado didn't go bowling . I mean, Horn entered the portal, but at least he didn't quit on the team with 4 games left. Weaver could be the second coming of Jesus in Cleats (Jerry Rice) and I still wouldn't take him back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X quit with 3-4 games left, would love to play him one last time and catch him coming over the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could of won that UCF game if Xavier played. He decided to sit....hard for me to forgive that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has his plan and it seems to be the right one, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 100% okay with that. Battie has talent and has the chance to shine in the biggest stage of college football for the second straight here. Thanks for your time here and best of luck on your future endeavors. We need Bulls for life . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your time here and best of luck on your future endeavors. We need Bulls for life . I am ok with the decision, but I see it differently. You see it constantly in professional soccer where a player leaves one club only to return to the same club at a later date. Ronaldo is just one example where he played for Manchester United, left for a bigger club only to return to Manchester United at a later time. You see it even where a big club buys a player from a smaller club and right away loans the player back to the club so that the player can develop and get playing time before making the step up to the bigger club. I see these issues more as a business decision and not one of the heart. Dont follow US professional sports that much so I am not sure if its as common in US sports, but I am sure if Lebron James would decide to finish his career at Cleveland; he would be welcomed back with open arms. I would have gladly welcomed Battie back. However i am ok with and understand the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a former player that publically said he was staying here and left without giving Golesh a chance. Tell him to walk on as a PWO if he is serious about being a bull again and pay for his all of college expenses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
