I don't and it is just that, my opinion to NOT accept this position! Right or wrong, I believe in standards of behavior - one might say its the letter of the law being followed here. I realize we have taken much spirit out of the law and so suffer with a lack of common sense. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH THAT THIS IS MY OPINION!
That is my issue with it. I am fine with him being in the portal but then to remove himself and then reenter is a kick in the groin
I have a post on twitter that is fairly critical of him, it has been liked by more than a few of the players on the team and a few that played directly next to him. I would imagine him returning is not going to happen.
Just athlete. I’ve a relative at a P4 school playing a sport, not fb. Trust me, most of the kids playing fb have not cracked a book or opened their school provided laptop.
Thank You....Now, lets bring the Women and Men's BB team home with a W today. UConn is the sports capital of the world! Let's remember all the other UConn teams that are winning at an incredible level. Hockey, Baseball, Volleyball and more.....I wear my Husky shirt proudly....Keep the great Boneyard posts coming for the "old Guy"! Love reading them all......
They can’t all be at North Carolina.
On the other hand, if you've ever expressed an opinion on something without having lived that experience, your condemning, anyone else who's doing the same thing in this thread is, well, equally hypocritical.
This.
The opportunity to get a degree will be available down the road after the boatload of money comes their way. The other way around may never come again.
Moving credits from school to school has to be a nightmare.
even if the suitor drops the offer, I feel like Yates is gone, now. that relationship has to be seriously strained. if I were JM, i'd be seeing this system for what it is, and everyone's true colors being shown. I see him as a guy who still wants men of character. Pryce messed up.
What happened to APR talk?
no kidding
At most of the factories, APR was a manufactured stat, except for the S-A's that were serious about their degrees, and there were plenty of those. The kids that were there to play FB/BB had counselors that made sure they were in classes that would pass them along with a minimum of attendance and work. In some cases, students were hired to attend class for the Athletes. Out of the system for a few years so have no knowledge of how it works now. Credits transferring for a guy who attended 3 schools in 3 years, impossible to meet the old satisfactory progress requirements requiring a percentage of degree applicable credits each year of eligibility. They must have admissions folks who evaluate transferable credits with a mandate to make sure the kid meets whatever requirements there are for Satisfactory Progress today.
Speaking for myself, I wasn’t hating. I have no hate for the young man and wish him well. I was expressing my sentiments that I didn’t like the flip-flopping specifically. And I feel the same way about coaches who act the same way, frankly.
He's definitely done here. I was just wondering once the ESPN article popped up and Mora made his comment if the other team would say.. ya know what, this guy isn't worth sticking our neck out for and then Yates ends up flapping in the breeze and is the one that loses because of another team tampering. I would be fascinated to read all about the ensuing lawsuit coming out of that one.
For what it’s worth, I think reasonable minds can differ on this.
No matter the odds, I'll never knock someone for chasing a positive dream.
Every coach must've been wrong about him. What are the odds?
this just in:
Players like that are valuable special teams pieces. He's obviously got physical gifts. May not be good enough to start here, but you need depth pieces like him.Every coach must've been wrong about him. What are the odds?
I am just wondering if a tortious interference case could be made in the tampering affair.
First, to be clear, what Muntz was talking about was criminal acts. Civilly, one can sue another for anything he wants, but I’d be really surprised if you could get anywhere on that for a number of reasons. But might one try? Sure.
Frivolous lawsuits are not advisable though, right? or was I misinformed?
