Do you think that UGA football doesn't strive to eliminate legal issues? Of course they do. They have every incentive and Kirby is as detail oriented as they come. I think they'll do what they have always done, which is encourage and emphasize respect for the law. I don't think they''ll adopt a one-strike, zero tolerance policy for violations like the ones being discussed in this thread. I don't think anyone does that.

I don't support a zero tolerance policy but what our administration has been doing up to this point is not working because the violations continue and with it the controversy and the perception of our university.

What I would like to see is recruiting that focuses on solid student athletes like Gunner Stockton who have strong law abiding family backgrounds.
Make good citizenship an important aspect of recruiting requirements and you will likely have a smarter more cohesive team of players like the Indiana team that just won a national championship.
The alternative is a political approach that forces law enforcement to look the other way to reduce violations of the law.
But if we continue down our current path the perception that is on full display on The Rant becomes reality that UGA is more interested in winning that in recruiting players who are just as good off the field as they are on the field.

And yes, I know I am delusional but I would guess that our administrations are more interested in increasing our reputation as an institution of higher learning rather than an institution who compromises standards for the sake of winning football games.

Our next investment project with be a NASCAR level track to give these youths an outlet and of course more midnight basketball.

Collateral

Our rank, 100, seems about right.
We have never been a basketball school.
I'm not sure we would be able to recruit well enough to be a NC contender even with the highest paid coach in college basketball which of course will never happen, because basketball is not a money maker for UGA.
The venue is small and the interest is low.

He might as well jump to the NFL since his Alabama team is rather mediocre.

Oats is obviously a good coach based on his overall record at Bama but some seasons your team simply isn't very good aka the players are not as good as what you've had in the past.

They should be working on cleavage support for Penny.
It would make for a much more interesting episode. :lol:

I think you have stated the right of it.
Frankly, I would rather support a UGA team that is less talented and yes, less paid, who are actually student athletes who want to be at the University of Georgia.

I'm reminded of the old quote about a fool and his money....

Braveheart is the better film due to it's epic impact but the ending is brutal.
Gladiator from my perspective is better for rewatch at least in part because the ending is more uplifting and yea, I'm a sucker for an uplifting conclusion.
