I would hazard a guess that the current state of the BB forum may weigh heavily on the decision. The other forums have been pretty civil, but the vitriol in the BB forum has been over the top. I find it deplorable when student athletes are called out and slammed on a regular basis. They come on here and view this stuff, folks, and your comments do nothing to improve their game. Blame the coach all you want, he gets paid to be here and he has not lived up to his end of the bargain. He brought these students in to play, if they prove to not be D1 caliber players then the onus is on the coach.
Just my $.02.
They wear the Orange and Brown. They play for us and this university. The garbage that was aimed at four specific players was totally uncalled for. I'm glad the three seniors are graduating this summer and hope they will still want to be a part of the BG Community even if some of their fellow alums comments about them were juvenile (I'll be nice) and uncalled for. I'm glad that the other will be returning for his junior year and I hope he will have an outstanding junior and senior years in the orange and brown.

I think that the argument is that they are not D 1 college athletes.
