So I think this is all awesome this isn’t a big conspiracy or anything related back to Heupel and Lincoln or anything.
USC thinks Bru can get eligible through the ncaa. They’d rather him do that then signing an NPO and adding ammunition to lawsuits for their handling of Bru/him not being afforded the opportunity to continue his career at USC. Their lawyers have clearly advised them to have the ncaa handle it to limit liability. If the ncaa turns this down then it’s back to usc as the only option for eligibility (which again I doubt happens but)
Second recruits and their parents aren’t thinking their kids are going to transfer multiple times or be involved in (wrongful) domestic assault allegations. This is a weirdly complex situation and in general people don’t appropriately weight things going wrong as much as they do right.
