I can tell by your post that you don’t understand NCAA football so let me help explain something to you. This is not like the NFL. You do not play teams in your division twice a year.

Makes Brandon look good...makes CUM look good...See what I mean?
UF and the SEC have marketing and public / media relations pros on their payroll that should understand the landscape well enough to know that there are anti-UF and anti-SEC sentiments and pot-stirrers (e.g., ESPN has plenty) out there. Meyer, Foley and Slive blew it.

I do see what you mean in questioning whether Spikes actually asked for a full game suspension. Others have questioned that as well. We'll probably never know who really initiated the move to bump it to a full suspension. Regardless, it was a good move, even though they should have gotten it right the first time.

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!
You're 100 % correct on everything here, but I am not sure why you are amazed. Slive has had a questionable year in handling things, no matter what team you cheer for.

He was also seen coming out of the referees' locker room shortly after the gators were named the number one team early in the season. He was heard shouting that it was done so they wouldn't be able to see all the offenses committed against the gators and would call a fair game. Funny how it had the expected effect. That Spikes is a smart gator...

So IOW, he still hasn't really been punished at this point, but has been magnanimous enough to use this opportunity to self terminate to try to remove the egg from CUM and timmy's faces. Yup.. he's a real class act. I sincerely hope he gets drafted by the Raiders

Brandon Spikes out for whole game
Just heard on ESPN that he was taking himself out for the entire game. VOLNAT must have got to him or Myers.

How big of him. I think he said he didn't want to be a distraction.
