Something about that article doesn't smell right. Kid has a football scholarship at a D-1 school (albeit CSU, but technically it's still D-1), is in line to be the starting QB, and gives it up to maybe play baseball somewhere else?
When I first heard the story, I thought that maybe he had signed a contract to play baseball and was going into the minors. The way the linked article makes it sound, he's just flat out quitting the football team, and leaving CSU (in mid semester, no less), to test the waters of college baseball with no solid offer in hand for a roster spot or even a scholarship.
Something smells here.
