It's the point where we said you're responsible enough to vote, serve your country, and sign legal documents. If they can make good enough decisions on how to run their government, risk dying for their country, and assume legal liability, they can pick a college.

Agreed and the right to fail and reap the repercussions , question does he have the conviction to go D-2 regroup get the desert time he desperately needs and succeed or wait and see if he can be enabled AGAIN.

I can understand this POV. Because kids commit, then decommit, and then recommit again...it's happened and will continue to happen. I take this U serious but hot dang, these are 17 year old kids we're talking about, who by the way, are being pulled in every which a way by multitudes of people for multitudes of reasons (bags-playing time-education etc etc etc).

I understand where you're going with this but that scene at the school was ridiculous. You don't want to blame the kid ? Okay, I get that. Then blame the parents, the AD, the coach, the school for allowing that show to go on for 45 min. Those other kids had to sit there and watch it. Their families sat in the stands waiting. It was disgraceful. If he was that torn, take it outside and move on. Give the other kids their moment.
 
From the Nebraska 247 site:

It's been a busy offseason in the transfer portal for Nebraska, which has seen 25 players, including walk ons, decide to leave. Francois is the second 2020 class member to depart the Huskers before playing a season on campus. He joins fellow Florida native and early enrollee Henry Gray, who transferred to FIU last month.
 
This child needs humiliation badly so he can become humble and obviously it's coming his way now , he should embrace it learn and grow in it we will see.

A character building moment in his life to follow the road less traveled to recovery , he needs a MENTOR IN THE WORSE WAY.

Oof! Didn't VT lose 14 last year? This has to be a record.

18 year old is considered adulthood..but I don’t think anyone would consider a vast majority of 17/18 year old kids who just graduated HS Adults..very impressionable age..the fact Neb got that far with these kids is cray to me

I do.

If you don't. Cool. But, I'd ask you change your mindset.

It ain't even that serious...we're just clowning on the guy because we all saw it comin.

or...he's not even going to class, there is no culture on campus with the pandemic (and I realize Nebraska isn't that bad in comparison), and its just a boring place anyway. With classes likely being online for most colleges next year, can't imagine having to do that in Nebraska. yikes.
 
It seems a fair number of Nebraska fans weren't surprised by this either. They are trying to figure out if they can get the ICs back for Francois and Gray. LOL Seems they only got 2 practices out of them

THIS is the year that the NCAA might "give back" ICs.

We ain't never getting one back for Asa Martin, he spent a semester at UM, but I could certainly see the NCAA approving "IC refunds" for kids who enrolled in January 2020 and "returned home" after one aborted semester out-of-state.

Just my opinion, but I could definitely see the NCAA being a soft-touch this year when it comes to appeals.

The real question is whether anyone could get a one-time "credit limit increase" for taking in these poor castoff kids.

Well, who says a 18 year old is making a responsible decision in any of those scenarios u mention?? Just because it’s on the book as law does not mean it’s correct..everyone know a 17/18 year old isn’t a mature adult

There's so much more to attending a university than just what you're doing on the football field. I don't think some of these kids are ready for the culture shock of going to a place like Lincoln. Especially with everything shut down due to COVID. I could see maybe if you're going through a full spring with practices, workouts and a regular course load But right now, those kids have A LOT of free time out there and a whole lot of nothing to do.

In all those situations they have to deal with the consequences like an adult. They get bad government, potentially killed, sued for breaking a lease, and made fun of by forum members of the team they thought it was funny to make fun of.

People make stupid mistakes, it's expected. Suffering the consequences means they won't do it again.
