I agree. Some forget that Edwards originally committed to UCF. He played HS ball in suburban Orlando and is a hometown football hero. He may just want to be close to home, family, and friends.I think the Edwards transfer had little to do with money (although that doesn't hurt 😀) If it were strictly about money, he'd still be a free agent taking bids. He signed with UCF rather quickly.
He initially signed with Pitt because of Charlie Partridge. He stuck it out and played this year.
I never begrudge kids who don't badmouth Pitt on the way out. It's the kid's life, and he should be able to pursue happiness where he sees fit. I would have loved for him to stay, but since he isn't, "Good luck, Sincere."
