"@cmonBenjals NM is a better job than vcu. He is not leaving for VCU. Better facilities larger NIL and bigger fan base. They average like 14k a game. He wont even leave NM for a low or mid P4 school much less a mid major. It will need to be a top P4 school for him to move on from there"

"@ScottPa59968397 @BattleCattleFan So letting you out early would have severely harmed the current members and there would be actual damages to them.
