Anything. Some consequence.

But they needed Miller to beat lowly South Carolina. He hasn’t sat yet he won’t sit now. Bama surely has no chance to win anything without him - why would they sit him now? If they were having a bad season it’s likely a different story.

Consequences?

Being shredded by National media and every fan base and declared a criminal is a pretty serious consequence.

Especially considering he hasn’t been charged with any wrong doing and has cooperated fully.

That's just what a guilty person would do! Get him!

There's a reason he hasn't be charged. And it isn't the absolute insane conspiracy theory that the DA is protecting him. He did nothing wrong and is a fully cooperating witness. They just don't like the facts.

The real reason for the SECr? They can't bring the Alabama basketball team, who's had a great season and just won the SEC regular season twice in 3 years, down crashing and burning. Firing Oats and ditching Miller would be a great idea to do that. Heck, some have even been going after Bradley. Why not just charge the whole team?

Bingo. The more they deny it, the more we know just how true it is.

Consequence for what? Returning an item you borrowed to it's legal owner, when that legal owner asks for it?

He didn’t even borrow it, it was just left in his car a few hours earlier

You asked for the elected government officials to be open and transparent in a high profile incident that has left many members of the community scratching their heads and questioning the legitimacy of their decisions, leading to widespread speculation locally, nationally and internationally.

You bastard.

So… what would be enough in your opinion?

Suspicion? Expulsion? Criminal charges? Jail time? Death penalty?

So you think they are presenting charges and evidence against Miller to the grand jury after the ADA publicly stated they didn’t have anything they could charge him with?

You are flailing about here.


The quoted part of the post you replied to, talking about the Grand Jury, was specifically referring to Miles. It said his name in the quote.

He has no idea what he wants other than just Bama to pay in some way. That's all these morons really want. They'll deny it until they're blue in the face, but we all know it's the truth.

How many of them are screaming for justice daily when it's just a nobody in downtown Birmingham or New Orleans? How many of them would say "oh well, thugs gonna thug" in that case? How many of them post disparaging things about single black mothers in threads about government assistance?

It's just a bunch of hypocritical bullshite, simply because it's Bama.

The rival fans that have put a ton of energy and attention into this case over the last week want Alabama to suffer. They want Bradnon Miller to suffer, even though he hasn't been charged with a damn thing. They want Nate Oats and Greg Byrne to suffer for their idiotic public statements and they want the entire athletic program dismantled.

Anything short of the above means they've quite literally wasted days of brain cells and person time invested in a lost cause.

If I were an Alabama fan, I'd want him removed from program and disassociated from the university.

He's a public figure, and one of the most visible representatives of the University of Alabama. And this is the image Alabama is choosing to project of themselves to the world.

His continuing to play without any diwciplinary action from the university has also put a potential asterisk next to the season for the remaining players. It's a disservice to the rest of the team to jeopardize the legitimacy of the team's accomplishments by continuing to play a player who may at some point be proven to have been ineligible to play due to participation in a heinous crime, and could cause wins/titles to be vacated.

There's more to representing a university than just staying out of jail. Athletes are public faces of a university. Like it or not, they're role models for young people. And I sinply can't imagine wanting my alma mater to willingly continue letting a guy like Miller continue wear the logo and fill that role after making such horrendously poor decisions that helped lead to tragedy, whether he ultimately goes to jail for it or not.

My university is on my resume for life. What it stands for means more to me than a banner in the rafters.

But I guess that's the difference between me and y'all.

And a lot of them don't have very many brain cells to spare. The few they do have are sure ate up with Bama though.

You guys are confusing people wanting Bama to do the right thing from an administrative standpoint versus the actual legal issues surrounding the case.

To quote SOSFAN from another topic:

quote:

South Carolina kicks out 3 football players, 1 for having a gun and the other 2 for knowing about it, and no one was shot and the gun never used. Alabama has someone killed and then begs everyone to stop talking about it.


Why is he playing right now? It’s because Bama has something on the line this season and everything to gain. He was needed to beat SC… if he’s sitting since all this started Bama likely loses the SEC regular season title, high NCAAT seed, etc.

Regardless of the legal facts of the case, this is a terrible look for Alabama. They’re too deep in it now though. They have made their stance clear. Winning is all that matters. Again, nothing to do with legal facts of this case. It’s about the administration and the coaching staff.

I love how this is the same board that bitches non-stop about wokeness and caving to public pressure. The hypocrisy couldn't be more obvious.
