Yessir, all great points. The truth and the solution is somewhere in the middle. Common ground is a good place to start.
Agree. All he has to do now is sign the waiver. Then we can all see what is what. Transparency please.
Please stop.
It was a genuine question, if you can prove UGA is taking on costs by Reese leaving, I may change my mind about your idea.
What costs does UGA incur for Reese to go to Ole Miss?
I think a top program like UGA could make a case that their facilities, trainers, coaches and general support offered to their athletes is greater than some other teams (if you compare the budgets for athletics among colleges, you will clearly see which schools provide the best support). I imagine UGA spends a LOT more on football than Ole Miss. Otis benefited from training at UGA only to have him take his skills and training to a rival. Companies do this all the time when training employees, especially in high-dollar programs. If you decide to leave early after receiving company-paid certifications you could be on the hook to repay the company. I don't think it would ever come to this in college sports, but the idea of repaying costs incurred is not unheard of.
OMG, you're entirely missing the thesis here. Maybe you need sit the next couple of plays out.
None of this matters, as Reese didn't leave early. His one-year scholarship was up after fulfilling what he said he'd do for that scholarship (aka be a student-athlete), when time for transfers came up he chose to go elsewhere.
I miss your musk...
I agree. I was just playing devil's advocate. I personally don't care if he, or any other player, wants to leave...just don't make up a bunch of stuff on the way out to try to buck the system.
Can you more eloquently describe your thesis again, please?
Or here's your quote, can you elaborate on the costs you speak of? "It's simply compensation from one school to another to cover costs of a TRANSFER." - Casanova_Flatulence circa 2020
You're engaged in a non-sequitur. I win the argument
Totally agree, and I'm all for sitting out one year for in-conference transfers. Go outside the conference, I'm ok with you playing right away (one-time only).
Yeah, hate when I question about someone's concept and they can't answer simple questions about it. I lose, my bad.
AND not being able to play against your former team should that happen. Imagine if that was a rule and OSU and UGA met in a playoff or NC game and JF was not allowed to play. Epic!
