Don't steal! Or, at least, don't get caught!

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Eliminates the problem of having three #11's on the roster this season.

Starting to wonder if he'll ever play a game here...man what a ride he's been on. First commits to one staff without an offer, then gets offered by new staff late and actually commits, then gets suspended, and now he's ineligible.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Ah, the fine line between using privacy laws to protect a student's information and using privacy laws to avoid answering questions you don't want to answer.

 

[Trueblue25]

I still find myself rooting for this kid every step.

 

[SUforme]

This kid wanted to be here so badly though...

I couldn't agree more! But I can't help but feel that this may have more to do with the University's internal judicial process than the judicial process downtown.

 

[PhatOrange]

If he transfers he'd have to sit out anyway so he might as well stay put.

So the biggest question I have is if he can still practice and be involved with the team. Facilities, weight training, meetings, film etc. if so thats the positive.

Sounds like a university-imposed suspension or something. He was just in that DB group picture a few days ago.

This stuff, along with the medical DQ's, would simply never, ever happen at a big school like Bama or Tennessee. Comical.

Exactly, this is complete BS because he's already been suspended from the team for 6 months missing spring ball. He's served a pretty good penalty as is.

 

[Scooch]

The guy stole from other students, right? Was there some extenuating circumstance? If not, he probably should've been expelled.

Imagine running a University like a University, not an NFL franchise.

 

[upperdeck]

you dont even know if he is academically eligible, perhaps he needed some classes to catch up and couldnt take them while he was out

 

[Orijinal]

This may very well explain Babers' somber demeanor in yesterday's presser

 

[sufandu]

I have no problem with this. Suspending him for only the spring is like Ohio St suspending a starter for a week one game against Kent St. A punishment needs to sting a bit more than that.

I hope he learns (has learned) his lesson, matures, and comes back strong.

Strike 2

we don't do well with Clark(e)s

Clark's Ale House in Syracuse to close today, ahead of schedule

Ha!

I'd rather things be done our way than the Tennessee way. It's called the Fulmer Cup for a reason.

 

[retro44]

If he was going to transfer he would have done it already, my guess he agreed to this first in order to stay here at his dream school. Mutually agreed decision and I am sure Mom had something to do with this.

 

[Rocco]

Imagine running a University like a University, not an NFL franchise.

Then why compete in the top division in collegiate athletics? The cards are stacked against you if you do it "the right way" persay.

Oh well.

 

[DMDMD]

Have to figure with his arrest in the spring he may not have finished all his classes and is academically ineligible.

 

[longislandcuse]

Do you want a competitive football team or not? We're in the same division as FSU, Clemson and Louisville yet conduct ourselves like a wannabe Ivy League school.

I get what you're saying, but CFB and CBB is big business. The term "student athlete" should be applied pretty loosely in most cases.

Bama I get ... but Tennessee?
