Yes. But it all depends on what time those games are scheduled to start. I've spent a lot of time in the mountains hiking the trails with the Boy Scouts and JRTOC.

Since they are up in the Football Bowl Subdivision, I assume he has to sit for a year. I believe they are full members now, and not on some 5 year transition plan.

Edit, and he'll be back in Lane in 2017 if he goes to ODU.

Not necessarily some types of proceedings cannot be released without the accuser AND accused's approval. This isn't a legal matter because the court system wont touch it for whatever reason and as such there is no public record. This leads me to believe it's probably sexual in nature, maybe harassment. Given how the uproar about athletes and sexual offenses has been lately it could be setting an example. And these things can lead to jumping to conclusions and witch hunts.

Or it could be a dumb prank, but I don't think that would get an expulsion on first offense and there'd probably be more details and others knowing or involved. The last thing could be there is no one else involved and he actually did cheat and doesn't want to admit it.

Either way, I'm extremely curious as to what it is.

I think getting that balance right about providing enough of the complexity of a story without getting too much in the weeds must be really difficult. Maybe we need to think about that the next time a storyteller doesn't give us enough of the background. The length of the arc may be the editor.

A lot of us also have been discussing GoT here as well and they had some problems this year jumping into story arcs. Did we spend enough time with Arya in the House of Black and White? Sansa at Winterfell was another one that may have benefited with a slower story telling pace. Sometimes you gotta get to the plot points before your time was up.

AZ has an interesting point, it's tough to complain about more backstory and complexity in a medium that often doesn't give it. But this seemed to come at the expense of much of any character development. People who are really into this show didn't know who Burruss was until last week, just think of the people who watch the show but don't care enough to go onto MB's to talk about it. They are really, really lost.

that makes me sad. Would he have to sit out a year or is this situation different from a typical transfer?

When I started typing that I was the first reply. Y'all are too quick for me.
