I believe confidentiality rules might apply to the reasoin dismissed and that's why most of the time players are dismissed from a college programs it's for violation of the rules and offense isn't mentioned.
You are the pot and the kettle here. Look in the mirror. I don't have any idea of what happened, but I am reaured that people that I trust with news here say that it had to be done. That's all the most of us are concererned about.
I know that I heard about him getting suspended by GS on this board. It may have been after the fact, but the details of why were discussed here too.
"Somehow" Britt, Rice and the other stars from a winning team didn't get in trouble while at RU, but once they went to the NFL they did. Schiano learned at PSU and Miami how to cover up the problems so he could win by keeping his star players on the team. This is what good coaches from successful programs do. Look at PSU and what they covered up. That's why they win.
Britt was suspended for one game, but info put out was violation of team rules.
That's a nice sentiment. But really is this how all those top programs do it? Or is it, be a salesman and make the sale anyway you can via lie, cheat, payment or degrading others. Keep your best players eligible any way you can and make sure if there is trouble it stays in house. Then if sh*t does hit the fan, hope you've won enough to have a cult like following, blame everyone else and have the school lawyer up in your defense. I really wish it was the admirable way you described, but I'm afraid the latter is what this sport has become.
We're not a deep team. Any loss of a starter or contributor is a massive blow to this team. Our first string in most positions would be fighting to make backup on other P5 teams. Our backups played high school ball until 2 days ago. These losses will be felt.
You're right, but I still dream of doing things the right way on the road to sucess.
So is what you are saying is if Flood did not get caught, he would have gone 1-0 every week? :confused:
Britt and Anthony Davis both got in trouble and were suspended for games. There were plenty of others that were kicked off the team for undiclosed violations of team rules under GS. GS kicked a top DT recruit off the team, after being asked to do just that by Senior players, for not practicing hard and not being a positive influence on the team. GS still managed to keep the lid on the reason for most of his disciplinary action.
The worst of the worst- a cheater who is bad at cheating, loses anyway and gets caught wearing a bad disguise.We could think that on Fridays,
but on Sundays it might be a different story
Agreed... But I'm actually shocked no one has said, GO TO THE PREMIUM BOARD FOR WHY THEY GOT KICKED OFF THE TEAM.
THIS... don't know what the issues were.. no doubt its warranted... but I especially thought Devera was going to be a good one.
Schiano didn't have any say in anything at PSU. He would never find out about anything as he was way down the totem poll. He was GA and position coach there. He wasn't in the mix on anything going on there. He wasn't in Joe PA's circle at all.
I have to disagree. Anytime you lose a potential starter or a guy on the two deep in the B1G it's a big loss. The B1G is a war of attrition by years end and sometimes even sooner. This isn't the Big East or the two team ACC, in this league every game is a dog fight. Which leads to increased injuries. It's why I always point to scheduling when people say well look at Temple or BC and all the schools who have passed us. Their schedules suck compared to our gauntlet. The depth you point out in the LB corps is unproven, the safety depth was already a concern. These are loses for a team still without much depth.
