It doesnt matter though it just highlights this ridiculous notion that punishing an individual is some sort of acknowledgment of endemic racism. By not punishing sasser does it mean UGA isn't racist? I think most people would come to the opposite conclusion if that happened.
You don’t have to prove “endemic” to the NCAA. Nor was that what I was trying to get at. “racially hostile environment” that I used is terminology people have been throwing around as what the NCAA calls it. And just from reading various articles around the Internet, not from personal expertise with NCAA bylaws, you don’t have to prove it’s endemic to prove it’s racially hostile. The NCAA interpretation of that is supposedly pretty broad. Admitting you had a kid so bad you had to kick him off your team seems to me admission you violated a broad interpretation of “racially hostile”.
Worst call ever....put in a guy that panics on every drop back in the most critical play of the season. For it to work, Dawgs had to at least show the formation throughout the game while still punting.
But this was done in a last ditch effort to include Fields. Kirby has been massaging this for a while. It had to be like an irritating pimple on his back just out of his reach that he finally had popped.
But at the end of the day, Kirby has surpassed every expectation of mine. I can respect that sort of aggressiveness. Play to win and let the chips fall where they may.
Is there an actual section in the NCAA bylaws on transferring from a racially hostile environment? You imply that you have read one. If so, do you mind linking that section up? Regardless, one student involved with one incident will never meet that bar. I wouldnt be surprised to learn that many, many student athletes have previously tried to play this card with the NCAA. Think about how often we see the tacic abused in everyday life. This would certainly not be the first time the argument would be presented to the NCAA.
I find the idea that his case is unique to be laughable. The way this works is that once such a one-off incident was successfully used to gain immediate eligibility, word would spread and then bigotry would be the #1 reason kids list for transferring schools.
Bankwalker, you’re not even reading what you’re responding to are you? I specifically say in there I have no personal expertise with NCAA bylaws.
No, I am reading what I am responding to. YOU are trying to say what threshold is or isnt necessary. My point in asking was to bait you in to admitting that you are just talking out your ass. Your source is literally just crapola you have read on the internet.
Your opinion on this is about as sound as the one where you suggest Kirby should stop recruiting highly rated players once he has another enrolled on campus. Total nonsense.
Boy it’s been awhile since I’ve able to so easily get under someone’s skin. I miss the good ole days.
Good job baiting me into saying something I already said.
Actually, you have no idea. Ive been resisting the urge to point out your consistently flawed logic and short bus comprehension for several months.
Okay, that’s cool. But I think you’ll find if you want to learn from me, you’ll learn a lot more if you can narrow your post down to the essence of what you disagree with. If you’re not willing to do that work on your own, I’ve found those people don’t learn nearly as much as those who do. Your post I’m now responding to you did a good job with, you narrowed it down to two sentences. That was good.
Hes staying either way
Sooner he is gone better off the team will be. He is very talented, but not proven and the team will benefit next yr. Fromm is proven x 2! Trying to keep the Fields camp happy cost is an SEC title. This way Kirby can work on what's best for the team and not keeping 1 player interested.
Even if you disagree with him....you have to LOVE Hunkerdown.
No way this dude is married. He is waaayyy too stubborn....maybe divorced 3 times....or has millions because no one has married him and took half his stuff.
Reminds me of the role William Shatner played in Boston Legal....awesome
LEARN FROM YOU? SMH. Comical Delusional. Pure hubris.
While I'm not familiar with how this would be judged by the NCAA, I am familiar with how it is handled in sexual and racial harassment cases in workplaces. What you describe is NOT how courts view "hostile environments". A workplace that comes down hard on everyone who takes actions that could be viewed as making a hostile environment is not confirming that the environment exists like you're suggesting. In fact it's evidence that the environment does not exist due to the actions taken by the workplace.
If you have a no tolerance policy for racial bigotry and can provide evidence that every person you've caught has been punished/fired if they break that policy that proves that you do NOT have a hostile environment. I fail to see how in a college that would be viewed the opposite legally.
How did it cost us the SEC title? Just curious as to your thought process on this.
