In today's college football climate, if we are kicking players off the team for grades (a passing grade at that) then just burn the motherfricker down.

Was it grades or a attitude issue?

More than likely attitude.

An "I already got paid" attitude.


Who couldve seen the ills of NIL coming?

Not sure. I read further and saw the behavioral issues. I was just responding to the grades post and I will stand by that.

If it is behavioral/locker room cancer issues, then yeah...you gotta put a stop to that stuff.

I read it was academics. Which I think is a joke. these kids are not “student athletes“. They are pros. If they’re at all academically eligible play them.

But if it’s something disciplinary, then that’s a different issue.

So let the players do what they want and when it all goes bad, blame the coach for "losing control of the team"





Cant let the player do what they want. Even if they play well

Grades would make no sense since grades won’t come out until the season is over.

He doesn't play with an already got paid attitude and is one of the few like that we have had in recent years

He wasn't named a captain as our All American in any game this season already.

I disagree.

So no chance it's grades and more likely a screw it attitude after losing some games?

You disagree about what? He's been the best player we have had on either side of the ball in many years.

He is really talented. That's not in question.

He may not be a captain or leader but he is a stud and an AA. Not all guys are leaders

He has already been benched once before the bye. Looks like more shite is going on. Stop being a putz.

Maybe it’s a good time to send a message to the rest of the team. Lords knows we can’t get any worse and it’s not like we have a prayer in hell of competing in Athens next week anyway.
