Seems like we lead the nation in corrective measures taken AFTER we have gotten jobbed (I'm looking at YOU, Music City Bowl).
yup and sitting the kid would be basically admitting wrongdoing. Might as well let them play it out the punishment wont' get worse if he plays. Imho at this point benching him only hurts the kidsLSU knows the penalty will be no worse if they let Smart play.Either way they will get slammed, if the proof is shown to be factual!!
As long as when you say “NEXT YEAR” you really mean this year.I agree we seem snakebit the last 15 years, North Carolina football game that the NCAA changes the rule after we lose, referee wearing LSU jersey and making a call that most refs let go with 2 seconds left, Tennessee Lady Vol basketball program going from one of the best in the country to this sham of a program, A great storied football program that gets turned down by around a dozen coaches the last 4 coaching changes, Pig's fumble when we had Georgia beat. Until this year, and league games just start this weekend, we haven't been real good at baseball since around the Helton era.The softball program is top notch but we can't ever win the really big game. That being saidI'm still a VOL FOR LIFE, AND NEXT YEAR WILL BE OUR YEAR OR MAYBE THE NEXT YEAR OR THE NEXT!
Odds are they have a list of eligible NCAA refs for the region and choose based on availability. They have guidelines on refs working on a game for a team they support or a school they attended but apparently don’t dig too deep and take people at their words.I wonder what the screening process is for the SEC when hiring refs?
There is a big opportunity for conflict of interest to happen when dealing with sports. Even if you hooked the guy up to a lie detector and it showed he called it straight up, it’s just a bad idea to have a fan of a team calling their games.
In the hiring process the SEC saw he was from the LSU area and thought it would be a good idea to let him ref some of their games so that while he was in town he could catch up with family and friends.
Probably suspended with pay until next season. They'll simply wait until the controversy dies down and make sure he doesn't do UT or LSU games again. He'll be back. It's the NCAA way.
Yup. Said it in another thread. Evidently Smart met with LSU and the AA and was cleared to play. So my guess is he is denying everything and they don’t have anything concrete to pin on him. So let him play and avoid a lawsuitNCAA is so scared of the players now. They know theyre one lawsuit away from the entire thing coming crashing down.
