Yea i admit to throwing shade on his ability to play 3rd at a high level. I don’t think he can but don’t mean he can’t be one hell of a pickup in the position of batters box

Tommy white doesn’t play it at a high level, but the bat makes up for it

Great topic

For me there are two answers

1) players that are “encouraged”
To move on. this group should be immediately eligible

2) players that move for “greener grass” and their current school wants to keep them. Imo those kids should have to sit out a year

You gonna make coaches that move on for "greener grass" sit out a year too?

 

[KptVFL]

imo there has to be a difference between professional and amateur. My job is a profession and a college athlete shouldn’t “enjoy” the same type options

keep in mind a professional baseball player can’t just take another job for more pay until years and years into their career. 5 years in the milb before they can move

Agree but is not the rules at the moment. Maybe they should be changed. Dont wanna get too into this and distract anymore. Been talked about a lot.

Would love to have Amick be a vol and we'll see where he fits in!

coaches have to pay buyouts

I actually think the kid that leaves a school ought to have to pay back the scholarship money he used

 

[MT_Vol]

I just think it’s retarded to get all butt hurt about what someone thinks of me that has no clue who I am in reality

The fact you would use that word says a lot about you.

Most coaches don't pay the buyout, the new school does. The reason they have buyouts is due to remaining years on their contract if they leave before the contract is fulfilled. That scenario doesn't apply to players since scholarships are not guaranteed and have to be renewed year after year. If a coach is fired before his contract is up, the school pays him a buyout. If a player is told to move on, should the school have to pay the scholarship for his remaining years of eligiblity?

Imo

Scholarships should be for 3-4 years

and yea I’d be fine with Tenn paying Wofford their scholarship dollars back for developing the kid

This is dumb. Should I have to pay back my benefits and my salary to my place of work after I leave my job? Scholarships aren’t contracts. They are for one year. They have to be renewed. They aren’t guaranteed.

So if I take a new job, should the new employer have to pay my previous employer for any training and experience they provided me that helped develop my career?

and yes I’m all for multi year scholarships. I’m fact they already are allowed

many jobs have noncompetes in their contract language

That doesn't answer the question. Non-competes would only apply to a direct competitor. I could take a job with a company that doesn't compete or is a different industry but still benefit from the training and experience I received.

Well sure some could but a non compete eliminates that issue. It’s the perfect “professional” comparison here

 

[BruinVol]

Btw there are NIL deals set where kids get their money for the previous year the day they step foot on campus the following year.

my suggestion is very similar and is for a student to have an outstanding student account that is paid with their scholarship $ the day they begin their next year at the school. If they don’t come back they owe the money like any other student loan

You all would be great at a political debate because you've made me want to turn the channel.

 

[AthensVol2007]

You are correct. Upon further review, The DH was lost only when Grice remained in the game after being removed from P. It makes it even stranger that he was placed at 1B in place of Amick. They could have simply pulled Grice as P but he could have remained at DH.

I said that at the time. It’s what UF does with Cags

Sure we have proof. Amick was pulled when Clemson led 4-2. That’s a classic defensive replacement move made by coaches/managers when they make upgrades defensively

That same staff later thought Grice at 6’5 235 was their best shot in CF once Cannarella got ejected and decided on Sunday to insert a pitcher with 1 career AB as their DH. In the matter of 2 days, I went from praising Bakich to wondering WTH he was doing, as did Clemson fans in attendance. His lineup moves in regionals were mind boggling.

 

[cthvolsfan]

Yea no doubt

It’s why many here misunderstand my take on alot of this stuff. I don’t blame TV or any coach but I hate the system as a whole

I seem to remember a few years back when oversigning was your issue and you most definitely blamed TV for that.

I don’t blame him for over signing. I blame him for the degree he does it

Agree... this thread has gone off the rails.

No boom today?

Not yet. Soon! Load the cannons, buddy.

No but good vibes on Amick

 

[knoxvol52]

No but good vibes on Amick

I understand times are and have changed but sports was better when you recruited and groomed the players and transfer had to sit out a year. To much drama these days and times but it is what it is .

 

[Volllllllls]

Got a question for you.

What would you do if you could leave your job for twice the pay?

Potential for this with these kids today. More likely they'll be made employees than go back to the way it used to be!

What about the kids that are here already that have to pay tuition with very little NIL money (if any) and have to watch the transfers come in and get everything paid for? It has to be a tough pill to swallow.
