Fair questions.Were do you find any quotes that they both mutually agreed to anything? If Stoops was so on board...why did he say in media we can't have a guy on sideline that isn't going to play under the circumstances given?
Look....I don't really give much thought to Bossman....both parties moved on. But stop with the fans "attacking kids" nonsense when some simply don't agree with all the opting out (or quitting as I'd call it). But I've asked this same question over so many times and I can't get one valid answer
"Would it be OK to quit after UK lost the Georgia game or Miss St games" At that point UK was essentially done with getting to SEC East title and playoff. So are we cool with dudes quitting with 4 games and a bowl left on the schedule?" When is it OK and not OK for kids to quit during a season is my question.
I can only guess, but now with NIL, I can imagine there may be some written agreements that call for money to be returned if a player opts out.
