Yes, it's the right decision. Yes, maybe the only decision. But it's still an extremely, extremely difficult decision, and Heupel made it.
This feels like the first time someone truly made a public stand and said, "enough." This is a good day for college football.
This is also why Kirby won't play this game on the front end of recruiting. Kirby and UGA will pay, and pay well. But we don't play games and we have a limit to the lengths we will go. You play the game on the front end, and it continues being played the entire time they're in your program. Nico is a case study of that.
There's a shred of doubt in the back of these kids' and their handlers' minds going forward. Overplay your hand at your own peril.
Kirby has us on the right path with NIL.
