I can't imagine ADs continue to provide free education and expenses to athletes who have quit their team. The UO gonna pay for guys like Limar, Lopa, and Austin to continue to go to school for months after they have bailed? Makes little sense, why would other schools be doing it for guys who are now Oregon Ducks?

On January 18 it would be far too late to add Winter 2026 classes at the UO as it is long past the cutoff for students to add a class and be eligible for a grade this current term. Giving athletes passing grades for a term of classes they couldn't have properly attended would certainly be a new level of academic chicanery (I would hope isn't an actual thing). Do they drop out until the end of March and move home? Pay their own way until the end of March as a nonstudent hanging around the AD?

I imagine guys like Limar, Lopa, and Austin aren't enrolled at the UO anymore, and will have a class schedule by Monday if they are moving to a school on quarters or Jan. 20th if it is semesters. I don't see how all the UO transfers in aren't done by Monday 12, where they could at least properly give them a schedule of classes. The drop out until Spring might also possibly be a thing, but would certainly seem to disadvantage teams still playing (and basically all schools on quarters which I guess is actually only a small percentage, maybe 5% to 15%). I imagine a lot of athletes aren't going to prefer that. I'm looking and not sure what I might be missing here. It should be a busy weekend.

This is why the season needs to be done by January 1st or the week after.

Then he has to learn whole new system. He wants to play now and give himself his best shot.”

If Oregon is involved, it's a surefire sign that Dante is off to the NFL. Husan Longstreet's dad isn't really mincing words.

Rumor has it Levitt is waiting for Dante to make a decision???? Or are you hearing something else?
