And then, you know, that doesn't even get into the finances of even this existing contract that he's on.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

That certainly will, I'd imagine, be called into question a little bit if he's suspended.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

You know, the status right now is that he is allegedly under investigation by multiple different states for gambling offenses.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

Now, that doesn't mean, you know, that they're going to be hugely criminal or that, you know, he'd get in serious legal trouble.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

But it does mean that there are multiple states that do believe to have reason to believe that he gambled in those states.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

And again, the most critical of the alleged gambling offenses is the one where he allegedly bet on Indiana games while he was redshirting at Indiana.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

If he were to have been found to do that, then his college career is over.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

There's really almost no way to get around that unless they can somehow get it thrown out by investigators.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

But that's the biggest domino.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

If he was found only to gamble on NFL games or other college football games,

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

He might lose 30% to 50% on the season, depending on what the offenses are.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

If he did gamble on his own games, then it's over.

So, you know, he retained Jeffrey Kessler as his attorney, who was probably the single most high-powered attorney in college athletics.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

He's the guy who settled the House v. NCAA case.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

He was involved with the Alston case, with the O'Bannon case.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

So, I mean, the fact that he is involved makes you think that they feel like, you know what, maybe we can โ€“

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

even if it's just on the technicality, find a way around this.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

But, you know, for me, like, again, based on what we've heard, based on how definitive the data seems to be, I would be pretty surprised if he ends up playing college football this fall.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

Yeah, so of course, this is the first year that there is no post-spring transfer window.

The Program
H4 N2K, Shehan Jeyarajah, The Kicker

That's obviously a big deal for this program that they can't go out and get another Division I quarterback.
