FWIW, The Million Dollar Man started at DE before going to DT (Corey Marshall). Anchors the end on the 30 front as well. I think he may have moved in and out along the line one season too...
he's responding to another comment, though unsuccessfully using the reply function
What's pays a higher dividend, beating the Bucks or scaring them half to death with a quality loss, (<7pts)?
got it now?

# | Bitter blog - Babcock offers clarification on player fines, shuts down entire practice It is an issue IMO. It's not fair that you can take take away benefits when a student athlete makes a mistake, but if they go above and beyond what's expected of them (whether it's level of play or off the field stuff like helping in the community) their reward remains unchanged.
Not trying to make this a player's rights convo, but the sport can't maintain amateurism but fine players at the same time.
You have to weight the risk vs reward in both scenarios.
Orange Bowls were pretty good, too. About $250 for each of my 3 trips.

# | Bitter blog - Babcock offers clarification on player fines, shuts down entire practice The only reason it's news now is
because of the whole Cost of Attendance situation and whether they can reduce the amount they receive.that it's the off-season and we don't have last week's game to talk about and next week's to look forward to.

except our RBs last year were injured one by one, not suspended for the opener wholesale.
Probably because they can't twist it into a feminist cause
Not a good look at all, and, really... Beamer should be the one answering to this, not Bud and not Whit.
If I was a kid being recruited by VT, this kind of thing, with photographic evidence, would have me seriously reconsidering my desire to play there. $100 for the wrong color undergarments? My god, this makes us look so disconnected from reality its nauseating.

# | Bitter blog - Babcock offers clarification on player fines, shuts down entire practice Just talked to a friend from Mich St, says he knows for a fact MSU has had a fine system in place for a while now. Apparently this is a much more frequent practice than originally thought.
...wha? Ahhh maaannn
I mean, if you really want to get into negative recruiting fodder, we should tell our recruits that you are banned from all athletic related activities if you are charged with a felony until it is resolved. At FSU, you can just keep practicing and even playing until the verdict is reached. Talk about negative recruiting potential! /s
This is all silly. Yes, some of them, such as a clean room, look ridiculous, but just behave and you won't have a problem.
> As long as new doesn't mean USC of course.
Implicitly saying that you're OK with Michigan taking the OSU spot... ;)
Welp..
NCAA Rules- schools are allowed to discipline..there's a huge handbook as to what's allowed and I can go into more detail if you want, fining players for certain things are allowed.
Every program has discipline rules, might not be $.. here we have a Breakfast Club-> 6-am meet up time
Negative recruiting fodder- for people not aware of the recruiting process its easy to say this, however this is a non factor. Every college has an athletic policy manual and its one of the first things that's gone over with every prospective recruit.
here's a screenshot/picture from our Recruiting Pamphlet/online catalog
Methinks 2015 anOSU WR = 2014 VT RB.
Exactly my point. I just hope Marcus makes something of himself some day. He's not the kind of person that it's worth wishing ill towards (at least in what I've ever seen of him).

# | Bitter blog - Babcock offers clarification on player fines, shuts down entire practice Interesting.
so it would seem that as long as the student agreed to do all those things for which the failure to do merits fines, then the fines are acceptable. Sounds like extra incentive for the student-athletes to live up to their word. Call me crazy, but I'm fine with that
Yep... Already making its national media rounds
Apparently, 5 players had already been fined according to this system this year, per the RTD.
We're now the national villains in the pay for play model, and will be used as the primary evidence behind the eventual lawsuits that will be coming.
And really, its so fucking stupid our coaches did this. In this environment this was the last fucking thing we needed.
