This is completely legit and is not a lie.  Frank did state that if Alex changed his mind, there would be a spot available for him but Alex isn't interested.

This isn't quitting; this is simply not returning for another year.  Quitting would be leaving the team during the season.

Not really.  A 9 sentence statement about how it was his decision and he's just too busy?  Who does he think he is?  LeBron?  

Kid was a walk-on.  Should I clap or pump my fist while grunting that he waited until after the season (which, by stating, insinuates he in no way wanted to "sticks" around that long?)

No Vic is the perfect walk-on.  Not great, but capable of some semi-productive minutes, from Kansas, brings team GPA / graduation rate up, link to potential solid recruit.  Can't boo Vic, can't boo 95.  If we get another worthless white walk-on that our super :opcat: fanbase feels the need to fellate every time he plays, boo that guy.
