Here is my new transfer portal form letter as I about to puke reading the same thing over and over.
Beaver Nation,
I am leaving this program even though I was not highly recruited by top tier teams. I settled on OSU and after 1 or 2 years in this program I am a really good player. Now that the Pac12 is no more I need to go to a Power 4 conference team to make it to the (fill in the blank nfl, wnba, nba etc.) as the WCC and or Independent schedule is not good enough to get me to the next level even though I was not highly recruited by said teams in said conferences. Players in Power 4 conferences can make way more in nil money and to be fair, that is what is important right now. A full ride scholarship is peanuts compared to what can be made in the right program. Although I am greatful for the money you have spent supporting me, I just don't see it as a way to make really meaningful dollars at this point or later in life. With that said, go f%#* yourself as I am gone.
Signed X__________
Oh yeah, I was never really once a Beav. I just settled for OSU as I never really had any better option at the time. Now that I am way better, still go f%#* yourself.
Ok. I am done ranting. If this gets me kicked off the forum, I don't really care.

I think we'd all love to believe that kids come to OSU because they want to be at OSU. In reality, they come to play for the coach. It's the coaches that sell them on being a member of the team. Apparently, this was something the Smith was very good at, given the number of kids and coaches that fled with him.
I also don't think the kids write their goodbye statement on Twitter themselves. I think someone puts it together for them, so it turns into a lot of platitudes--what they think we fans want to hear. And we know from experience that there are very few talented writers in the world of sports and if they are talented, they aren't working writing statements for wannabes.

I fixed the spelling error. Thanks for the heads up. You said to edit, and I couldn’t help myself! I agree with your sentiment 100%. Shut up and just leave.
