I was initially very upset with Pena deciding to leave. I'm still frustrated but not exactly upset with him at the moment. Upset with the "system" yes.  And I don't quite understand his whole accepting the Captain thing means he should not leave, no matter the opportunity?  Come on...  Its a bad system at the moment but not his fault. Not sure if i or everybody would make the same decision but it is certainly understandable.  Its a job offer.  He'll likely end up in a good situation with a very large payout. Who knows what happens with his Football career and payout after college.  Sounds like this is a guaranteed much larger payout at the moment. Sure he loves football but he is in also in college to better his life just like everyone else who goes to college.  He initially made a better NIL deal to reflect the great season he had and he was fine with it at that time.  But if suddenly Pena is truly going to get an offer that is double or more of what he would get at SU, how can you blame him for going? Sure the timing would have been better at the end of last year but i'm asssuming the situation has changed since then. Your talking serious money. I'm sure its not an easy decision because he loves SU but i get it.

And regarding the timing, its after spring ball yes, but we are still in a very good spot with WR talent so he isn't leaving us in a terrible spot. Even though not much of it is all that proven. Neither was our WR unit going into 2024 as OG was the only one with proven talent and maybe I guess JRS, but he was injured.
