I have no breaking news, and there's a 99% chance that Stroud declares for the NFL in the coming days, but there's talk on twitter dot com about the potential of Stroud returning for another year. In years past I would chalk it up to wishful thinking, but in the era of NIL, it's fascinating to consider that Stroud could potentially forgo an NFL rookie contract and stay in Columbus for financial reasons.

I know, it sounds crazy, but crazy is kind of the new norm in college football.
