This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The likelihood of significant playing time would be small by Kayo

Even if he played high school football, he hasn't played the sport in years. He would have to learn a position essentially from scratch. The kinds of contact in each sport are very different, so he'd have to dive into a different S&C program just to be physically ready to play.

Whatever position he would play, there are football scholarship players who have been in the program for years. He would have to pass them on the depth chart; and because the football staff is committed to its own scholarship players first, being the equal of his teammates won't get him significant playing time (if any at all). He would have to be obviously better.

If Perkovic really were interested in football, going to a lower level D1-A or a D1-AA school as a graduate transfer would be the smart move. At that level, he would be a more gifted athlete than almost all of his teammates. He'd still have to adapt in other ways, but his size and athletic ability compared to teammates would make it hard to keep him off the field.
