There's a difference between "still wanted to play football at a collegiate level... just not at Stanford", and "done with college football and moving to the next stage of life".  Sure, the impact is the same (the players will not be playing football at Stanford), but you certainly can't blame someone for not wanting to spend their sixth year in college (or even their fifth year).
