Gut feel is that Kyler Murray ends up in football.
I just look at all this as a runaway train that's going to be hard to stop.
He gets this dispensation from the A's to continue playing college football, which already should have raised eyebrows and told you exactly where his heart is. He starts going on a Cinderella run, setting records for offense, winning nearly every game despite the defense not being able to stop anything, gets the Big 12 Championship, now he's in the FBS Playoffs, he's got a Heisman presentation tomorrow with HIM as the favorite, then he'll be playing the best team in the country on December 29th, then he's going to get NFL Draft Advisory Board grades, feedback from NFL teams, discussions with family.
Point is, he's supposed to report for baseball RIGHT AFTER all this wraps up. So he goes on this huge, rewarding, emotional journey, gets the 1st round grade from the NFL, knows that his initial football contract will be bigger than his baseball contract, that he'll be a franchise QB immediately whereas in baseball he'll be riding a bus for a few years, and you want all that to come to a skidding halt so that he can report for baseball?
At what point is he going to think that his decision to pursue baseball came under extraordinary circumstances, where after being the best HS football player in Texas history (Texas!!) he shows up in college and has to wait his turn for a few years. Maybe things got a little gloomy looking when you have a rocky start to your career at Texas A&M, been three years since he experienced that HS football glory, and he decides, yeah baseball looks good right now. But now he's got a taste of it again, and I just don't think he's going to give it up.
Billy Beane should have known better. That's my opinion.
