I agree with everything you stated here but there’s something else that the OSU player and Biles have in common that it’s a no brained on why Simone Biles was mentioned here in the first place.
Ohio State LB Quits Mid Game
- Thread starter Rutgers Chris
- Start date
Pope was dismissed from the team on Sunday and has now entered the transfer portal. I don't know if Pope was expected to start this year under a different scheme, but according to this article he had played mostly special teams in his career up to this point.

Yes
Big Ten scholarships are guaranteed for 4 years, this isn't the SEC.
Yeah he can transfer just like any other student at the school
Lol, you don‘t keep your scholarship if you get dismissed from the team. He’s lucky he keeps it until the end of the semester.
This isn't' sitting out a bowl game - which is shitty enough to do to your teammates - this was 3-games into the season and at halftime. I HIGHLY doubt his teammates "understood."
He's going to be really upset he did that when his Scholarship and all the extra benefits end at end of semester...Whats this bill I have for tuition and I have to pay rent and for food??
He will be gone from OSU at the end of this semester when the well runs dry.
FWIW didn’t Greg recruit him to OSU?
Will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Hope he learns from his self centered action and what it cost him.
But I would guess he's asking the same University that he disgraced for help finding a place to land ( even if FCS) SO he could save his scholarship.
Meaning the same football program that he disrepected will help him find a new program, so he can receive a scholarship there
I appreciate that you or I, or any number of people -- particularly those who are older and grew up when things were different -- would have an issue with it. I'm simply saying that I don't believe that this generation of players (and kids, generally) view things the same way. Moreover, he wasn't a key player on their team. So, yes, I think they understood he was upset, melted down, and went too far.
Guaranteed means guaranteed as long as they aren't kicked out of school, they keep the scholarship, it is a legally binding contract.
He's a Senior...Does he have any remaining eligibility after this season? Don't see anybody picking him up unless he has a year left and can get a FCS offer for 1 year
Pretty sure your wrong on this...The statement from HC
"K'Vaughan will continue to have the use of programs that benefit our student-athletes, such as our Student-Athlete Support Services Office, and we will support him with his progress toward graduation. He will remain on scholarship through the duration of the semester."
Come January and next semester he gets nothing
I understand your Guaranteed 4 years but that is if you dont fail out or Quit...Otherwise a freshman can practice for 1 day and then Quit and be carried for four years

there's this clause that might allow OSU to drop the scholarship :
"The scholarship will neither be reduced nor cancelled provided he or she remains a member in good standing with the community, the university and the athletics department."
Pope's action could be considered quitting the team and ending his good standing status.
But being dismissed from the team for disciplinary reasons could be considered ending his good standing status as well.
.
Nah I'm right
Says AND not OR so as long as he is in good standing with the school he is fine. He is a senior anyways.
Maybe, he'll probably transfer but if he wanted to stay he could and be on scholarship and not be part of the team.
sounds like if he wants to graduate from OSU he'll be paying his own way after this semester is over
