I didn't want him in the first place. But it seems weird to bring up Taylor, when the woman was arrested for lying to police about the incident.

Because he was kicked out for this before going to Alabama?

I think most would agree with this

This would be a stupid rule. Just let the schools decide if they want to take them. Alabama looked stupid because of Taylor and I'm sure they learned from the mistake.
Just because you make one mistake in your life doesn't necessarily mean you should never be able to play SEC football again.

Good start. Honestly though it should be changed to read anyone kicked off a team for ANY illegality. I know there are lots of minor crimes, but people aren't kicked off of teams or out of school for them.
Collegiate athletics is a privilege and the players are adults. Junior high and high school mistakes are the mistakes of minors and there should be some leniency there for change and forgiveness.

Why? Even if it's a major crime, if they've learned from their mistake and gone through the proper punishment, they should be able to play football.
No school is going to take those high risks guys very often.
Nick Marshall is not a bad guy (as far as I know). Cam Newton is a great guy and role model. With this rule in place, those statements might not be true

It's not, a thug like Jonathan Taylor should have some sort of consequences for his actions.

Maybe Georgia shouldn't introduce these derelicts to the conference to begin with
Maybe you should check his list of offers before throwing stones.

Richt just wants to use this to keep players from transferring out after they get in trouble. By telling them if they want to leave they can't go to the SEC and hope that makes them stay.
Maybe he should come up with rules to keep his players in line and he won't have to worry about them getting in trouble to start with or become the bad thugs that need to be banned from the SEC.

It's pretty unbelievable that there would even be cause for a discussion about a rule like this, but I would be opposed to the rule. If a school wants to further compromise their admissions requirements, that's their prerogative.

The only reason the rule would be written that way (sec ban only) is because the conference doesn't have the authority to do anything about the other leagues. We can't tell the big 12 what to do so why not start where we can? Why should one state pass a law when there isn't an identical law in the next state? You do what you have the authority to do. Anyone saying this is a bad idea is letting their dislike of UGA cloud their judgement. How is it controversial at all to say guys like Jonathan Taylor shouldn't be allowed to play in the SEC? It's extremely common sense.
I completely agree. It's worded the way it is because the SEC can only govern the SEC. Anything more broad would have to come from the NCAA. I think anyone decrying this idea is only doing it out of a dislike for UGA. It sounds to me like a good idea.

You're obviously a bammer alter...
...... quote:
Under an SEC legislative proposal that Georgia is sponsoring, athletes like Taylor could not transfer to an SEC school if they had been disciplined for “serious misconduct” by a school or athletic department while enrolled at another college. Sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, dating violence or other forms of physical violence would be considered serious misconduct.
I think these were cited as examples of "serious misconduct" not the only things that would fall under this umbrella. I would think being dismissed from school for felony theft from the school or other students/teammates even if the charges are pleaded down due to 1st offender statutes, beating up other students, weapon offenses, felony drug offenses, etc.. would/could also come under the same "serious misconduct" heading...

Good. I'm sick of Saban bringing thugs to UA. They can have their 2nd or 3rd chance somewhere else.

Are you really that stupid? The players are not transferring out on their own they are kicked off the team. Even if they wanted to stay they can't because they have been dismissed.

I support this.

the commercial "It's on us/me" to stop domestic abuse will never have Nick Saban in it.
