| Here's what I don't get.
Meyer, Foley (UF AD) and Slive talked this whole thing over before UF stated the 1/2 game punishment.
It amazes me that those three could not foresee that UF would have to suspend Spikes for a full game in order to avoid a media backlash.
Now Meyer, Foley, UF, Slive and the SEC all end up with egg on their faces and Spikes ends up having to sit for a full game anyway to try to cool down the media backlash.
A full game suspension from the get go probably would have gotten UF Meyer Slive and the SEC predominantly positive press for sending at least a reasonably strong message that Spikes actions and those like it will not be tolerated.
I'm amazed that Foley and Slive did not demonstrate better judgement on this. Duh!

I guess that you, being more of an insider, would know best how much and what kind of publicity UF needs. IMO – it is indeed a sorry program that could not rely on last year’s NC for cred. I guess that's what decades of sucktitude does to a program. | |

IMHO I believe they thought that half a game would be accepted and did NOT expect so many people to be outraged not only by what they saw but with the punishment. I personally do not believe Brandon simply CHOSE to be suspended an entire game but I believe that this was just part of the plan to clean up the matter. Makes Brandon look good...makes CUM look good...See what I mean?
