I think in the new world of college athletics, there should be verbiage on what you do with your offseason. Similar to pro sports contracts. I hope the best for the young man in recovery.

I don't know the answer here, but would assume there is some sort of reduction or payback for missed time due to non-football injuries or suspensions/arrests? Not sure if any of that information is public for any teams/players, but would be interesting to see how similar the contracts are to the pro leagues.
 
5 for 5 projected as 5 years 5 universities.

And I hope he recovers

Nothing in article says Dowdell won't play this year if you read closely. Or next year either. However, there is rehab time from any injury.

My bet is he is playing some ball with Georgia later this year and somewhere else next season.

He's a tough dude. He knows how to get bank through college NIL

Worst College Football Head Coaches Since 2010 (Power Five Programs)

RotoBaller's Brant Henson's list of the worst college football head coaches since 2010. The worst Power Five coaching hires since in college football.

12. Mike Riley, Nebraska (2015-2017)​

Bo Pelini was fired from Nebraska in 2014 after winning at least nine games in every season of his Cornhuskers tenure. While he consistently won games, Pelini was never able to get Nebraska over the hump. That led Nebraska to the hiring of Mike Riley, whom it thought would be able to take it over the hump.

However, Riley was 61 years old at the time and had just wrapped up a 5-7 season at Oregon State. He hadn’t won nine games in a decade, and Pelini never fell under that mark during his time at Nebraska.

Riley went 6-7 in his first year, 9-4 in Year 2, and 4-8 in Year 3, leading to his firing. The hiring of Riley was the beginning of the fall of Nebraska football -- more on that to come later in the article.

2. Scott Frost, Nebraska (2018-2022)​

Scott Frost had spent his college days as Nebraska’s quarterback and led it to a 13-0 season and a national title in 1997. He had been cooking at UCF, turning the Golden Knights around from 0-12 to an undefeated 13-0 season in 2017.

This was a hire that made sense at the time -- Nebraska’s hometown hero returns to bring Cornhuskers football back to the glory days. However, that is not quite how it worked out. Frost finished his tenure with a 5-22 record in one-score games, even going 3-9 in 2021 while outscoring Big Ten opponents on the season.

Frost coached at Nebraska from 2018-2022, getting booted out of the door after losing to Georgia Southern early in the 2022 season. He finished his tenure at 16-31, failing to ever make a bowl game or have a winning season.

I feel like Riley was worse just because absolutely nobody thought that would work in Lincoln except Silent E. I remember Bill King's show talking about Riley as the worst P5 hire this century. Frost didn't work either and had less accomplishments but virtually everyone in that situation would have hired him.
