Yup. This.

They wanted to get loaded up and send Huggy out a winner.

Then Huggy got loaded up, and sent himself out instead.

My understanding of the process w/ Jesse was something like this:
(All #’s SWAG - Scientific Wild-Ass Guesses)

Cuse - here’s $250k in NIL to run it back w us. 
Jesse - sounds great!

Jesse’s dad pimps him around, gets bigger offer elsewhere

Jesse - I can get $400k from another team, match it or I’m gone. 
Cuse - (grudgingly) ok, fine, we can make that happen. 
Jesse - sounds great!

Jesse’s dad continues pimping him around, gets even bigger offer from
WVU.

Jesse - ok, I can now get $750k from WVU.  Match it, or I’m gone. 
Cuse - don’t let the door hit you…. 
/ fin.

You can only bargain in good faith for so long, when the other party cannot be trusted to honor their side of it, and they keep hunting for more $.

Sure - Jesse got more $ this season. 
Yay for him.

But - he likely has a much more successful, higher profile season had he stayed.  
And that also would’ve enhanced his Pro prospects.

Plus - the Cuse Nation network would be 144% behind him, instead of now thinking of him like a mercenary.
