# | ODU to Host Penn State, Maryland and Michigan in June; Coach Wilder Said He Would Call Coaches Fuente and Mendenhall to Attend That's only because all recruits in VA owe us a first right of refusual. Or something.
The NCAA will do nothing because they are just short of running a scam. Remember they are a non-for-profit group that makes BILLIONS. And they won't do anything to the SEC because they are so afraid the SEC will take their football and go create their own league. We saaw that when we had to watch LSU vs Ala. for trhe second time. Now if we did something like this, we would be slapped with multiple infractions.
I am okay with giving them the $1,000 or whatever stipend plus a $500 likeness fee from EA Sports
Does not look like Frank in the PIC! What do you think?
Pretty sure a future 1st rounder doesn't have to buy his own
Yeah...it couldn't have been more obvious what was going on there. They suck for about 50 years, then start landing all of these 5 stars - including miraculous last minute flips.
As for stipends? Does anyone really believe that giving guys $1000/month or whatever is going to be enough to end all of this? That would short Cam Newton's Dad's church 188k...
I'm just happy all of the cheating didn't get them anywhere. This time.
Edit: Beat me Lozo. I'll drink. Rules are rules! :p
A loss to Memphis.
But apparently he had money for weed.
You mean to tell me that a consistently average SEC program didn't just wake up one night and start beating out Alabama and LSU for 4-5 star recruits through good ol' hard work? I'm shocked.
The problem is that so many of the elite athletes in revenue-generating sports are majoring in basket weaving so they can stay eligible. So they're not even there for academics and don't understand the great opportunity they have.
He asked for $305 from his coach to help pay for his mom's electric bill. I don't know how someone racks up a $305 electric bill (he said, "it includes water" which really doesn't help).
I was waiting for a /s...
I honestly wonder what the split is on this issue between people who had to work their way through college vs people who had it paid for. I kick myself every day for not trying to excel at a sport in HS so I would have gotten free tuition, room, and board. Instead I had to work.
SEC school pays players under the table!!
In other news, grass is green, water is wet, and LOLUVa still sucks at football.
Doesn't the scholarship include room and board if they live on campus?
This only highlights the need for the new stipends. Whether or not this is a money management issue, I can't decide what upsets me more, that Ole Miss is breaking the rules (not a shock there) or that another player is struggling to pay rent while generating several hundred thousands of dollars in revenue for the university. I don't know the details, maybe the guy rented a higher than average cost apartment in the area or maybe mom knew they would send the money and lied about needing it for the bill; either way, the new stipends are a step in the right direction. Now the NCAA needs to take a few more steps in that same direction and actually develop a real punishment for these schools and athletic departments.
There was also pics of him in a gas mask attached to a loaded bong.
This was done and pics and tweets made public 13 minutes before the draft began.
He was expected to go as the first draft, by many.
He fell to 13th. Like that guy in Draft Day.
My RA was awesome. We had a guy in our hall that would get plastered every weekend, puke all over the bathroom, and he never said a thing. I don't think he ever wrote anyone up, the other RAs in the building did but on our first day of school he just told us to keep it quiet when he's not around.
One day when he wasn't there my buddies were taking shots with their door open, a cop walked by and saw them. They thought they were gonna get in trouble, instead he just said "You guys might want to put that away before a RA sees you.".
I left a party once that got busted when I was 19, me and a friend were waiting for our DD on the sidewalk and were the only ones standing there (not a good idea). The cops that busted the party left and saw us so all their lights went back on and they surrounded us. I immediately told my buddy that we were probably getting arrested. They took our IDs and were talking to us, then one of them pulled out a breathalyzer and asked me to blow in it. Thinking that I was screwed anyway I just did it, blew a 0.11 (not horrible). They looked at my buddy and asked him what he thought he'd blow, then they started gambling on it. I looked at one of them and asked if we were in trouble. He laughed and said "No, we just don't want to give parking tickets downtown all night."
I know there are plenty of horror stories of cops and RAs being douchebags to kids, but there are some legit cool ones in Blacksburg too. We have much more understanding cops than schools like Maryland.
He then admitted to it in the press conference.
Yes this^ makes a ton of sense. I sort of think this makes the whole RB rotation comparison a lot less cohearant. It's a different system with a stable of running backs lining up in different positions and the ball going to different places. This will naturally lead to a wider distribution of carries. Pace will dictate some substitutions but to be able to keep the defense off balance by having to defend the entire backfield on every snap, that's pretty difficult especially adding pace.
French thanks for the ongoing education in football. It's like taking a MOOC from Neil deGrasse Tyson or even Michael Eric Dyson. But even more fun.
UVA....if college football had relegation they'd should just go ahead and send themselves down 55 times
Very true, though I read the Pac-12's justification and I admit it is at least plausible.
Basically they were supporting the counter proposal that would had let them happen but more restricted IIRC.
When it was obvious that wasnt happening the Rep decided a uniform policy across the country was the best optiona nd that meant voting for the ban.
It only works if you rotate in a new back each play to keep them fresh.
I would have thought he got more than that. Anytime he came into the game you knew it was a run.
