Eh. Apples and oranges. VQ is saying this has nothing to do with holding out for money (yet). And he's not skipping actual practices (yet). So there's a ton of middle ground between doing nothing and kicking him off the team.

Make him run. Start him with the 3's in Fall camp. Put his ass on the bench if none of that works.

I don't get the impression Boo is the brightest crayon in the box. It's totally possible he just needs to see "actions meet consequences" a little bit and he'll be fine.

Demanding complete and total buy in or you're completely off the team is not a realistic standard. JPJ would have been kicked off the team last year if that was the standard. I think in year's past this Boo Carter situation wouldn't have even been a story. The Nico situation combined with the fact that Miles Kitselman and Josh Joseph's are not ****ing around as the team leaders, you end up here. But plenty of places to go before dismissal IMO

agreed. would also be better for team and recruiting if the leaky hole got plugged.

I think one thing to remember with the whole Boo Carter thing:

3 months ago, Huepel stood after the O&W game and said, "No one is bigger than the Power T, including me."

3 months later, he faces the same decision (or looks like it's potentially heading that way). I just can't see a way he can kick Nico off the team but bring Boo back if this goes on much longer. At some point, the team will start looking at CJH to see if he really meant what he said back in April.

None of these situations are ever so black and white. While the Nico news came out over the course of 48 hours, the situation had been brewing for months, and it was those 48 hours that pushed it beyond a point of no return.

I don’t think the situation is exactly the same here. Boo isn’t holding the team hostage for more money. He’s in the “brewing for months” phase and could still correct course. He has not reached the point of no return, I think. And Heupel is not going to make that decision until he does.

Remember, yes no one is bigger than the T (ultimately), but also these players care about each other. They want everyone to be their best selves and for it to work out. That’s the best case scenario: Ultra talented players grow and learn to overcome their ego so that this team fields the most talented roster possible. They’re not going to give up on each other until they have to.

Don't forget. We get to hear from our ex-QB for the first time since he left today at BIG10 media day. They are scheduled to take the stage at 3 PM eastern. What are the odds that he says something stupid?

Depends on how much he’s still taking the advice of his dad and agent.
