That didn't end well.

I get going pro, I don't get not finishing the year, but I understand that is the latest trend. Bye Bye.

Awe, that's too bad. One less thing we have to worry about next year.

no point in getting injured playing for the Holiday Bowl trophy and losing millions of dollars.

I could care less what the kid does. The only thing that concerns me as a fan is that they lose someone who had produced 19 touchdowns in the last 2 years.

Sounds like the "lost" him sometime during the season. Not sure if it's a staff issue or a Fant issue but it appears he wasn't happy.

Totally understand the strategy...at the same time I hate it.

That is where I am at, I get it but still feels like quitting to me. But in the end, I really don't care what he does, he wasn't a Husker.

Not trying to derail this thread but Fant is not alone in bailing on his teammates, however there was an injury here so same but different.

The "trend" started a few years ago...it's only going to get more common. I'm waiting for the day it happens to a playoff team....THAT would be a guy I wouldn't draft.

I hope his brother is happy with whoever drafts him.

As do I. But really no different then a Head Coach bailing before a bowl game to take a better job.

Or perhaps you couldn't care less.

I care that talent from that area may want to consider other nearby schools if they want to be used to their potential...

I would expect Fant to abandon his team. He's all about Noah and nobody else. T.J. Hockenson will go pro after next season, but you can bet he won't dump the team.
