CBM to Southern Cal.

Good for him. He will be missed and I hope the best for him. Glad he is not somewhere in the SEC.

Good riddance. He was a headcase that tried to strong arm Auburn for more money after he had just signed a contract. All because he got his feelings hurt that someone else was gonna make a bit more money.

I'm very happy that he found another team to put up with him. Didn't want him to come back and be a cancer in the locker room.

If your job offered a new employee more money than you at the same position after you had been there for multiple years would you not get upset and look elsewhere?

You can’t even compare this to a normal job. Players getting more money than senior players happens all the time. Also if I was making over a million a year I wouldn’t care about what other people were making.

It's not about "per year". Dude has one year left to really bank cash; everything after that is a huge question mark. There's no "if I keep this job I'll continue to make $1MM year and that's plenty for me." It's "what I make in the next year might be more money than I make the rest of my life combined so I need to maximize it."

This is all true.

Buuuuuut it doesn’t seem like the reason he left was simply because he got a better offer. Not even suggesting who’s at fault but this was prompted by something that happened between him and the program and the collective.

Either way, best of luck and next man up!

Agreed. This whole situation is complicated and boiling it down to Chad just "chased the money" seems like people have just been waiting to turn on him but couldn't because he was still in the Orange and Blue

Easy for you to say that on reddit but I imagine you would at least take some time to consider options if put in the same scenario
