When they granted him his release, he even said he didn't know if he was interested in a return to college football. Once a B1G school came calling, he changed his mind. It looked almost like a slow-play with the express purpose of getting released from his scholarship. I never really cared for the way Wilson handled that whole thing. I think he wanted a larger platform for his final college season and rather than come right out and ask for one, he just forced NC State's hand so as not to look like the bad guy.

Which in turn made him look like an asshole. I like Russell's play but as a person he's not the choir boy he tries to project. Trying to sell miracle water to kids saying it heals concussions is pretty goddamn shady.
