It is the smart decision. If I were his father, I would tell him to go pro. He has lived up and exceeded his obligations to Ohio State. But Ohio State administration and the Big 10 (Gene Smith and Kristina Johnson and Kevin Warren) have not lived up to their responsibilities. He absolutely should go earn the money that he deserves.
And there is absolutely no reason for him to have any faith in Big 10 leadership to come up with a spring plan. Kevin Warren has the ability to reconcile his son playing while stopping thousands of other athletes from playing. He certainly has the capability to find a way to screw over Fields again.
And Wade should go pro too. Clemson refs. Now Kevin Warren. Don't trust anyone--go make your money.
So angry at the Big 10 for punishing these athletes and the Big 10 community for preventing the world from getting back on track a little bit. Dreams have been quashed. Normalcy put on hold. ....... AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
