The real dicey part is if this rumor gets legs while other teams are circling around TJ Lateef, and NU will have to decide if they should make a preemptive promise to Lateef that he will start next season in order to hold at least one of them.
It would be terrifically exciting if Lateef finishes strong, but it would also make this scenario more plausible.
Other athletes have rebranded their social media feeds like Raiola, usually as leverage for contract negotiations, often staying put when they get a better deal. Weird to think that's happening in college football. The NFL is proving that the second most valuable player on any team is the back up quarterback, but in the NCAA being a back up makes you a sucker.
