Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Vols4us]

There is nothing funny about this. I pray for Tony and all others that have the grip of the devil around their throat. That lie the bottle or substance tells you. The short-term peace of helping you erase the day/stress and fall asleep only to have the nightmare rush back with a fever at 2am. The lost jobs. The lost friends. The loss of self-esteem and self-control. The numbing of proper emotion and waves of unchecked sadness, fear, and anger.

I've been there. It was a great coping mechanism. Until it wasn't. I am grateful to God that he gave me the strength to quit before I suffered all of those losses. Now my goals are clear, and I am keeping life simple now. I have a new relationship with myself. An addict will not quit until the pain of the addiction is greater than the pain of the recovery. I read that recently.

Pay attention to those you love the most. Like me, many didn't know I had a problem. Only 2 people did. My Lord and myself. An addict will lie and hide their addiction from everyone. The truth set me free. Now I am the husband, father, boss, and servant I want to be.

Pray for Tony and all like him.

Thanks for having the courage to give your strong witness. You also provide the key. In nearly every crisis it all comes down to the individual and the Lord.

Watch the NCAA come out and say they've started a new rule for suspensions this year, where they get to pick the game the player is suspended for. . .

Fahrins take time. It took me three years to get Banks out of here. Of course I had no help from you morans.

Every time I think I can maybe can get on the NCAA side, they go do something stupid like this

 

[orangejuice]

I'm so confused about NCAA rules...you can accept $5M but not a $400 flight? Honestly, are we actually going to listen and suspend him? Seems like there are 2 options, (1) ignore it, (2) sue the NCAA like everyone else and just move on. This is such a dumb thing. I mean we could easily suspend him for 2 cup cakes and just give him rest because we have plenty of depth in the LB room, but honestly this crap just pisses me off and i dont want to see us let them suspend him.

 

[Jpcisco]

What is the NCAA even doing? Kids get paid to play now. You have players who played in the G League professionally who can come back to college. Yet you punish AC for a $430 flight which he paid back? Kick rocks

 

[SKV84]

Why in the hell does the NCAA still do s*** like this? Its like they just try to pin stuff on us every year. Especially to suspend a player for something like this in the NIL era is absurd.

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

I’m over the NCAA and have been for their lack of punishments for some and serious punishments for others. I wouldn’t sit Carter a second. Tell them they can kiss our a**. We have been bent ofer too much and it’s time to say we’re done.

 

[berryvol]

Play him anyways, eff the NCAA.

 

[SoilVol]

Fire up the lawyer machine. Wonder if the SEC would also offer some assistance.

 

[orangejuice]

Also what do we mean when we "stand behind him"? Does that mean we are going to tell the NCAA to kick rocks or is it a meaningless statement that we support him but will accept it if we have to?

I get me a local judge to place an injunction on the NCAA.

Just sue and ignore no point in listening to these hacks anymore. If Michigan can do what they did and have no punishment don’t see why one of our best players should get punished for something asinine like this.

The idea to break away from the NCAA is looking better by the day.

 

[Blake25p]

You have got to be kidding me

 

[SoilVol]

Lawyers LOVE the NCAA. Cash cow for them.

Makes me wonder if law firms pay off the NCAA enforcement people for slam dunks like this so they can get a lawsuit.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I seriously doubt the SEC will do anything to help us. It wouldn't surprise me that Skanks recommended the punishment.

 

[SoilVol]

Y'all. Just hit the ignore button and stop beating the dead donkey.

 

[Orange.]

Well considering those sponsorships just started this year it doesn’t seem far fetched. Use of the words “in history” seems pretty laughable. Also Osu just got one with chase bank for nearly the same amount. I’m sure one with us and Dish is not far behind, since pilot already got the stadium one.

yeah, “in history” there means something like “this week.”

Good time to mention that ND dropped their USC game, which they had always bragged about as if it were the centerpiece of college football.

 

[VolInDayton]

Give me a list of UT Athletic Boosters and a list of Judges and Carter wont miss a week from suspension.

Already handled....

 

[Rishvol]

I get me a local judge to place an injunction on the NCAA.

We tried that once.... He ended up being a judge I can respect

 

[Rishvol]

Also just rest him against FU and another cupcake later in the year (he'll need a week off by then)
[No I don't agree with suspending him but forced rest for someone like him can be a good thing]

Furman is actually an important game with a new scheme
