These kids know the rules when they transfer. Why transfer intraconference and then whine about having to sit?
No, I'm not going to explain this any further. You clearly have a reading comprehension problem, as well as an inability to follow a chain of thought, as evidence by continuing to quote the incorrect post. Notably, there are some forum members, such as CaliforniaDawg who don't seem to have a reading comprehension problem and can absorb a whiteboard concept on initial pass. I suspect he has a higher than average I.Q. You, well not so much.
Have a nice day.
Yeah, low blows because you can’t accept the fact that you don’t have a very bright idea. I’ve replied to every single post of this grand idea of yours, as they all have huge gaping holes in them and don’t make any sense.
Hope you have a wonderful day too! 😘
Did anyone else have to lookup what non-sequitur meant?
Apparently it's an activity based on how it was used in this thread
The cost to UGA is negligible. I mean, they lose a player on the team that they groomed and trained and were counting on. But other than that, no not much.
The bigger question is what does Reese lose by leaving UGA? And that answer is complex and deep.
I think it's bad to teach these young men it's ok to break your obligations. I think it's bad to send the message to run when things get tough. I think it's bad to let other's down when they were counting on you.
Then there is the question of the health of the sport. They keep trampling on the idea of team, loyalty, and unity and I can promise you they will all lose support. Those fancy dorms, training grounds, dinning areas, tutors that walk them through every single class.... yeh, all that stuff can disappear quickly. I guess it's just how I am, but I've always tried to look at the big picture. What will this do far down the road. I don't think this kind of behavior and attitude will better things for anyone. And I'm just speaking on the transfer and football part. That's not even addressing the accusations Reese is wielding.
Nice Dave Chapelle joke.
But tickets are verified and fellow witness and Dawg Kearis back him... Frat party happened... Justin Fields situation happened. Only thing that cant be proven is the interaction with Kirby but seeing how Kirby has allowed all transfers without a fight (maybe experience from the Smith situation) probably means its truthful.
Legal jargon 🙄
They create excessive syllable words to make things sound complicated and better than they are. Medicine is extremely guilty of this as well. They're so bad, they'll come back and give things a new name once it becomes to familiar. I've always thought it was some subconscious ego s.troke myself.
.... s.troke is censored 🤦♂️
Those are valid points and agree in general terms, however his obligation was for one year. He fulfilled his obligation. He owes nothing to UGA. My only beef with him is the way he's trying to get a waiver.
Also, one thing I have learned since retiring from the military and working in the civilian world is that there is no loyalty in the workforce. Companies will fire/let you go in a heartbeat if it will save a nickel. Employees are free to find better opportunity. In fact, you should always be looking for a better deal. At my last job I was a bit of a celebrity. I completely revolutionized the fleet maintenance practices for not just my region, but for he entire company. My boss loved me and made sure to tell me On a regular basis how pleased he was with everything, I was there for 3 years. Then we had a bad year in 2018 due to some really poor planning in Ops. Literally out of the blue I get called in to the office and laid off due to budget cuts. My boss was almost in tears because the call was made at the HQ to get rid of everyone in my position in the company.
Moral of the story...you have to watch out for yourself. There is no loyalty in the business world. If you find something better, go for it.
Fair enough @pgjackson . And you're correct. That's kind of a different argument though of the 1 year scholy vs the 4 year scholy. I've never much liked the idea of the 1 year scholy myself.
Does UGA give 4-year scholarships? I remember Richt keeping a couple of guys on scholarship even though they weren't even playing any more...but I'm not sure Smart would do that.
I honestly don't know. I remember a few years ago or so Auburn started championing 4 year scholys as an enticement in recruiting. I didn't even know it was a thing until that happened.
But still, I think if a kid is going to commit to a school the school should commit to the kid in return. Even if it's just symbolic.
All scholarships are one year deals. I know recently they were working on legislation in the NCAA to allow a change, but I have been too removed for too long to verify or speak more I to that.
With CMR, I think you are referring to guys who were medically disqualified. They can keep their scholly, but not count against the 85. That way the team is not put in a bad position when you do what's right for the kid.
I assume it's much easier to not renew a scholarship than it is to break a 4 year agreement. That is if the student athlete in question isn't living up to their end of the deal.
