I've thought about this more and I like the move from a brand building perspective. Beats wasting a walk on or end of bench roster spot on a nepo baby (no offense Noah, that spot is well worth it but this is a different approach). Football is supposed to be fun and entertainment. A documentary / video series on him trying to make the roster? Sign me up. He's also a pretty inspiring speaker and I'm sure has a lot of life lessons for other kids on the roster from some of the videos I've been watching of him. And then there's the cool factor -- making Syracuse cool to high school recruits. It all fits together.

As others have said, if he plays that means we've either really really screwed up developing other guys or he has somehow become the craziest story in college football sports, which helps the brand point above. I view Toosii more as a player coach who can help show other young 17/18/19 year olds the work and sacrifices they need to make. He's putting aside a lucrative career to pursue his dream. It's a fun uplifting story. And for a day, we got to talk about this vs. solely firing coaches.
