Sasser being kicked out of Georgia is already proof, and now you see why your position is a little ambiguous? You're saying there's no proof while admitting there is obviously a smidgen of proof because, well, Sasser isn't on the baseball team anymore.

All's I'm sayin' is that I'll wait to see the evidence, and it will likely be exaggerated/blown out of proportion but he's already got his foot in the door with that, even if Georgia dismissed the kid from the team.

I have to say, though, that there's some poetic justice in the fact that Fields is undoubtedly using his Georgia signing money to hire a lawyer and prove that they're a racist institution.

Sometimes it be ya own money.

I don’t think the players should have to sit out a year anyway. That is until the NCAA passes a rule saying coaches that leave in the middle of a contract have to sit out a year.

Well, I get it if they're transferring to a rival school -- like if an FSU player transferred to Florida and was granted immediate eligibility that could put FSU at a serious disadvantage. So coaches would need some really fluid, ever changing language to get the right schemes and playcalls on the field. (Which they might already do, but I digress.)

I don't see any problem if they're going to transfer to a school that has no connections with the last school they played. (Conference, or OOC Permanent Rival)

You mean to the NFL? Yeah. It's horrible? Any Auburn players going to the NFL early? No? Not really surprising.

That matter of time is 30 years, when Kirby retires.

The behavior is so egregious and traumatic that baby sister is going to UGA on a softball scholly.



There can be egregious behavior in one sport and nothing in another. Just because the football room may be traumatic doesn't mean softball or basketball or hockey is. Just as the opposite can be true

I'm not saying I agree he should get the waiver, but this argument to me is not a winning one

I hope he gets the waiver, as they all should. They shouldn't have to go through arguing all of this bullshite.

I’m sure the UGA football locker room is racially traumatic for an 18-year old black kid from Atlanta. That makes complete sense.

The incident wasn't in the football room. It was in the stands at a football game.
Honestly, though. Can you imagine a black football player in America or anywhere else in the world for that matter that has not been called that on the football field? or a white player not called honkey, cracker or other term?

I was making the statement that just because his sister is fine on the softball team doesn't mean he feels like he's fine on the football team.

I have no idea wtf happened, but generally speaking that argument isn't a great one

If the NCAA grants this waiver it may have lasting effects. Positive and negative.

That’s a huge reach. Everyone knows what his transfer is about, and it damn sure isn’t racial issues.

He’s going to get the waiver because the NCAA doesn’t want to get involved in that conversation, but Fields’ public rationale for the waiver is almost certainly bullshite.

I understand, and I get where you are coming from. I have no problem with your position per se. But his stance seems to be moving toward the whole student experience, more so than the football locker room experience. If he feels threatened on the campus, why would he leave his sister on campus?

That said, I don't care if he gets the waiver, or not. It was one of those things that didn't work out. My only nit pick, is if he attempts to tar the reputation of Georgia so he can get the waiver.

It all boils down to given the climate of the country, his lawyer feels that this is the best route to take to get the waiver. They are not worried nor concerned with the fallout to Georgia.

Justin Fields could have left it at "Jawja sucks get me out of here" and the waiver would have been instantly granted with nods all around
