If he didn't care about football why did he keep playing for two years? He obviously cares a lot. He's not that talented and he made a poor decision by wayyyyyyyy over estimating his own talent and thinking he could have his cake and eat it too. And dam the river frames it all in the most disingenuous way possible. Too funny :rofl: Hope Levi realizes there is not transfer window in the Navy Seals. Good luck to him.
Nobody is claiming he's a generational or even all-conference level talent. That is not at issue.
It's disingenuous to equate "not caring about football" to having other priorities that are higher than football. Anybody that participates in college athletics cares a great deal about their sport. It is the ridiculing him for his choices that I'm taking issue with. Almost none of the players that get bashed on by fans "deserve" it. There are some (look at the cali bball guys last year) that need to have their heads straightened but that is the exception, not the rule.
The things that have been said about Valladay, Ike, and Levi are just outrageous. I want every elite athlete to play at Wyoming and stay the entire time but I also recognize the pressures, values and goals that those individuals may have that take them elsewhere.
