Agree to an extent. No parent wants their kids making profoundly bad decisions...like hey mom and dad, im going to try heroin. But a "bad" decision on college is different to me. It might be a mistake in the long run but I believe mistakes help shape us and develop us into better people (when handled correctly).

You said "meddlesome". That's what I was addressing. Good parents aren't meddlesome.

Parents of 17 year olds should be evolved in life changing decisions. At this point everything is speculation, if he asks for a release, I'm sure he gets one and our roster will not be ruined.

If they are footing the bill, then yes. My kid wanted to go to a certain school and tuition was going to be about 30k a year. UT offered a full ride. I said if she wanted to take out loans and enter life $120k in debt, she had my blessing. If she went to UT we’d pay her rent and basic expenses. She chose wisely.

If she’d gotten a full ride at the $30k option, it would have been 100% her call.

If any of this is true then how do you as a head coach allow this kid to sign knowing he doesn't want to come play for you? This is worse than being Boo 2.0 because this kid made it well known that after he flirted with UT all summer, he intended to go to OSU. But because momma wasn't happy with it and forced him to sign with UT, Heupel just went along with it?!?!? As a head coach, he's got an obligation to protect his players, staff, and the university from this kind of BS and tell this kid AND HIS MOTHER, no thanks...if you're not fully invested in being here, we don't need you nor do we want you. First Nico and big Nic, then Boo and his momma, and now this fiasco. Heupel continues to not learn a damn thing from his mistakes on and off the field and that should be eye opening for some of you. He just can't help but have drama surrounding this program. If the intent was to get the signing class rank boosted so you can have some sort of bragging rights, I think that's the wrong approach. The fallout and negative headlines this is bound to blow up into isn't worth the temporary boost in class ranking and it's 1000% on Josh Heupel. He owns this. Again, if any of what's being said is true, then this kid should be gone already. Call a press conference, wish him well wherever he ends up and cut this cancer out of the program immediately.

For all of you who thought it was a great idea to hand over millions of dollars to teenagers who's brains haven't fully developed yet (and their money hungry parents).....welcome to the chaos you asked for. It's going to get much worse before it gets better.

"If any of this is true...."

Predictable long rant against the coach. Maybe just let it play out?

At this point, who knows....I do hold any NIL payment until I have had the opportunity to talk with the kid directly and see if he wants to be here or was forced or if this is disgruntled OSU fans trying to make it look like a bad situation. In today's world, who knows. But I do want to have a 1:1 conversation with the boy once he turns 18 to see what HE wants and make my decisions accordingly. I do not just cancel everything based upon social media posts...we know all that can be as fabricated as any other story, just goes viral really fast.

I agree, again.

But I definitely know some people who consider themselves "good" parents who are very meddlesome.

Meddlesome doesn’t mean they aren’t good parents. Making life altering decisions w a 17 yo mind is typically not a good decision

I was 17 once , and if I had listened to my parents more


I had friends w w “ cool “ non meddlesome parents , 2 of them were dead by 30

Somewhere in Los Angeles Nico is staring slack-jawed into space, processing the idea that you can sometimes do something besides what your parent(s) want you to. If Bey seriously wants to go to Ohio State and had the gumption to put that out there despite some potentially toxic home pressure, we as a fan base, out of anyone in the country, should be the first to step up and say you do you guy and best of luck to you.

If true then it was a bad decision to allow him to sign, if not then Legend should clear the air. I definitely agree with Palmetto that this is only the beginning considering the money out there and "some" parents as well as 17 year olds that have never made much money and to be put in these positions all leads to a possibility of it getting worse more so than better.

Coaches probably should've been talking to him before signing day to see where his head/heart was really at, then with the parent and see what they were saying.

I get parents wanting to be involved that their kid is making the right decision but going to UT or OH wouldn't be a bad decision either way

Very well said! If Heupel took this kid and knew it was a weak commitment that reeks of a coach desperate to "win" signing day. Especially after Nico and Boo. "Fool me once..."!

I'm not bashing anyone. I said Heupel has to own this. He's the head coach. He's the end all be all of this program. When this kid ends up in Columbus, Heupel needs to answer to why he even entertained letting him sign. A lot of you on here get your feelings hurt so easily when anybody dare question or be critical of anything concerning this program. This will be yet another of a long line of CJH's bad decisions both on and off the field. And no, I don't really care what you think about it so do yourself a favor and hit that ignore button, you'll feel better.

Got this off RockyTopInsider. Appears his paperwork was sent to UT without his knowledge. Probably surprised Heuple when they received it.
-------------------------------------------
This matches up reported from BuckNuts on Wednesday that Bey wanted to sign with Ohio State but since he is 17-years old, needed his mom to also sign. But Bey’s mom, and apparently brother, want the blue-chip athlete to play his college football at Tennessee.

What’s next is uncertain. Bey can attend Ohio State without approval from his family. He can ask Tennessee for a release and then sign with Ohio State after he turns 18-years old on Christmas Eve. Even if he doesn’t get out of his release, Bey could enter the transfer portal after it officially opens on Jan. 2.

No hurt feelings I'm just struggling to see what Heupel did wrong. Seems to be a whole lot of finger pointing with little info to back it up

Pathetic parenting… absolutely disgusting. The kid, more than likely will spoil his family with the money he’s worked his whole life for an opportunity to earn.

They really think they can fax in forged papers to force him to go to UT? I hope he balls out at OSU and cuts them off.
