100%, I feel the same. Then factor in all these people”prediction markets” like Kalshi (proud sponsor of the NHL) and polymarket which have zero regulation and a separate entity from casinos, and I don’t know how anyone can think these leagues, the owners or players are on the up and up.
The prediction markets make the casinos look like they have some decency which to me is a deplorable state of affairs.
None of these leagues have integrity and they probably never did, just being obvious about it now.
It’s the right decision. Get your life together young man. Work your heart out and put on a show for scouts. Life isn’t over for you, you’re just starting.
This was my thoughts from the beginning.
Sit out a year and get right. Put in the work and be ready to smash the 2027 combine. He will be a complete wild card on draft day.
