It shows his parents are knuckleheads. Zero percent chance I would let my son act that way. Do your due diligence, be upfront, make a decision, honor your word. This isn't rocket science. It's the adults that keep turning college football into a shitshow.
Here’s some more armchair psychology, since everyone here seems to love it so much:
The reason why it’s always dads/uncles pushing this kind of stuff is generally because they were losers who didn’t amount to much and are trying to live vicariously through their kid/nephew. Most of them never got wined and dined and fawned after by major colleges. So they insert themselves in the process and the main way they demonstrate “value” is by trying to “look out for them” with regard to $$.
Moms tend to like ND because of the big picture, academically prestigious angle ND is selling. They aren’t trying to turn back the clock to when they were in high school and relive their youth but this time as a star athlete. They want their kid to make responsible decisions.
Uncles think they’re Jerry McGuire.
