So he sin in the "voluntary"  category and not considered at risk? Looks like he will get $150K. Every person needs to do what they feel most comfortable with.

Exactly, we don't know his circumstances. He could have an at risk family member/close friend. Or he could have someone who is extremely worried/scared and be doing this for them. These are extraordinary times and if he's willing to give up the big money, that's his decision and no one else's.

The "challenge" here for Olawale as I see it is has he forfeited his position on the squad for good? The Cowboys have an undrafted free agent fullback out of TCU (I think) and McCarthy  likes to use the fullback in his scheme. So, the free agent will get lots of opportunity to play and will be well versed in the offense after this season. Thus, potentially making Olawale expendable.

I do not question his motives nor his stated interest to protect his wife and kids.  That is his personal choice and I am sure he "weighed the potential consequences" of opting out of the season.  Would just hate to see him lose his spot.

The other possibility is that after eight years in the league he is tired of it and ready to move on.  And, this gives him $150,000 as a "severance" that he would not have gotten had he simply "retired".  No clue, I just hate to see a UNT guy not on the field. Will miss seeing him on Sundays.

I wish him nothing but the best going forward.

      A few HSO's

      I was kind of hoping this HSO thread would help me get over the hump and renew the two season tickets I’ve had since the days of dirt at Fouts Field and the old cement urinals there. Unfortunately I, probably like some others, can’t seem to generate any old fashioned enthusiasm for the new version of “ here today gone tomorrow, pass through jocks . Somehow there just seems to be a missing piece; commitment, loyalty, alma mater. Yesterday’s discarded intangibles. Well, today is deadline day, can I break an old habit?

      If…..

      I gave you a +1, but I also suspect he would not get along with the Grants and Ross's of our world. Would be loads of fun and wins, though.

      Best BBQ in each Texas college football town

      For anyone who hasn't experienced the greatness of Hutchins, you should treat yourself the next time you are in either Frisco or McKinney. Some of the best brisket I've had (and other good stuff too). And... since UNT has expanded into Frisco, I guess we can claim Hutchins as a UNT BBQ place 😎

      A few HSO's

      There’s no contradiction. The average fan/alumni aren’t paying NIL, it’s the big donors and corporations. And they’re only doing it because that’s the way it is under the current, broken system. My 2nd point is that comparing college coaches with college players is neither a fair nor equal comparison.

      No Way Jose! Just the opportunity for him to get out of Jersey is payment enough!
