Are we sure we don't have our "sports" confused here? Isn't it our "point guards" not our QB's, historically bolting mid-stream?
Not sure what the "Breaking News" aspect of this whole thing accomplished. We certainly wouldn't be the first D1 program where the back-up QB assessed his future and decided to move elsewhere. I'm pretty sure that's how Bates got on our roster. I also would not be alarmed that the OHIO coaching staff would be aware that certain individuals are weighing their options for next year.
I just don't quite buy that certain individuals were not going to finish out this month. It would not be a good resume enhancer for someone to walk out a few days before a championship game. Makes NO sense to me on any level.
Not to mention you could probably swing an iPod, bookbag and sweatsuit out of a bowl package. Just sayin'.
