Except that he wanted to play against those teams next year, and also play in 9 other games. So, his thought was to play 11 games next year, instead of 2, or whatever, this year.
And take away another year's schollie that could be used elsewhere. What do you think the probability would be that he would be available for 11 games next year? For a multitude of reasons, he has not exhibited dependable availability. And maybe, just maybe, his brain should not be subjected to another year of contact.
I think the possibility would be very good that he was available for 11 games next year. Wouldn't get in trouble. Would have been very motivated to have a complete year, given what happened this year.
If his brain shouldn't be subjected to another year of contact next year, then query whether he should have been cleared to play more this year, and whether he should be allowed to play 2, or more, games this year?
I would always give a schollie to a guy who has proven to be the team's top running back. Doesn't seem like a close call to me.
I also think the fact that his twin brother will be back next year, and the family would be coming to games, would be a positive, in terms of predating the kid's reliability.
I would think having the kid graduate on time, would be good for the team's APR. Do you think he will come back to school next year, to graduate? I assume not, especially if he doesn't have his tuition paid for, like they do now for kids who have exhausted eligiblity but not graduated.
The Griz have schollie's now, in case they find drop downs or transfers or kids that don't end up going to the Pac-12. It'w not like there are no schollies left.
Also, what about saying: "Jeremy, you are a very good player. We'd prefer to have you now for the next several games. You have been playing very well. We might even get to the playoffs. However, if you want to redshirt, you can do that. However, given our recruiting to date, and our needs, it may turn out that we won't have a scholarship for you next year. Again, we'd rather have you now. But if you want to redshirt, go for it, and take the risk that we won't have a scholarship or full scholarship for you next year."
Again, I don't know any of the facts. But I heard that they got into it. Mistake by Calhoun. Can't or shouldn't do that with a coach. But, in my view, the team is not as good it would have otherwise been this year, or next year.
