Vanderbilt Players Opting Out per Chris Low

[kptvol1]

Title is misleading. I thought it meant the entire team was opting out.

Me too!

Who replaces Mason after this season?

In this climate? Nada chance Mason is fired.

 

[JohnWardForever]

Their pretty good in Baseball....just saying

So There! It IS about Coaching?

Glad they made the right decision for themselves and their families

Me too. I'm a soooo happy about that. I think I'll pause for a moment of silence to remember those who made these heroic decisions.

Who replaces Mason after this season?

Jay Cutler

Who replaces Mason after this season?

Ben Covid he was going to play at Vandy once!

In this climate? Nada chance Mason is fired.

The only way any coach gets canned this season is for a comment he made 6 years ago, wearing a shirt with an unacceptable message ,being hurtful to a player or a similar action.

I don't see anyone getting let go for onfield performance this year.

And on their forums, all 13 of their fans want to join the big 10 lol

Wow. Just when Vandy finally had an excuse for its stadium being 98% empty on game day.

I don't understand why they would opt out? Vandy has been a leader in infectious disease protective measures. Their fan base has been 6' social distancing at home games for nearly 40 years now.

Now what would you guys says if some of our best players decided to opt out this season over fear of the virus

Next man up!!!

I wouldn't like.

Unless it was a player who's health issues (T Smith) might predispose them to Covid-19 vulnerability, I certainly wouldn't agree with it.

I’ll take those odds

Who replaces Mason after this season?

Covid and SEC only schedules will be the excuse that ADs use to postpone firing hot seat coaches with large buyouts (Muschamp, $18m buyout?). Not sure what Mason buyout is but I would imagine not nearly that much.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Wow. Just when Vandy finally had an excuse for its stadium being 98% empty on game day.

That's 39,000 capacity stadium to you!

 

[TrueOrange]

Vanderbilt is most likely going 0-10 this year, with or without them. They are really bad and continually getting worse.

Nah, they'll still somehow beat Missouri.

 

[Volfan1000]

Baseball is the only sport that Vanderbilt is consistently good at every year.

 

[Type Orange+]

We're 1-0 and the season hasn't even stsrted.

 

[guido4198]

IF the conference says "GO"...hold the season.
IF the University fields a team and a player "OPTS OUT"....does that player surrender his scholarship, and open a scholarship spot for someone who will play..??
This "opting out" when the team is going to be playing...looks a lot like quitting the team.
Football is a dangerous sport for all kinds of reasons besides a China virus that might cause a player to "opt out" to protect their health. Do those players keep their scholarship and prevent the team from acquiring someone willing to accept the inherent risks in college football..??

What am I missing..??

 

[MWAVolfan]

Wow. Just when Vandy finally had an excuse for its stadium being 98% empty on game day.

Tennessee wont get the chance to fill their stadium with Orange this year.

 

[savannahfan]

Multiple Vandy players elect to opt out of season

Not a surprise as the Vandy students/athletes are supposed to be smarter than mostrolleyes. I expect players are dropping out because they feel it will be more likely to catch C-19 than win a football game!!!

 

[savannahfan]

I guess Ohio St can slide in that spot now...

BULL SH--!!!! Even though we took in Mo., it's called the South E C for a reason.....

 

[savannahfan]

Nah...even if he were a great choice Vandy would never pick Butch...for a couple of reasons.

Seeing this response to a post, I thought it was trying to convey he was our downfall... Not a Vandy coach in waiting.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

A man's got to know his limitations.

And you can quote me.

Vanderbilt is most likely going 0-10 this year, with or without them. They are really bad and continually getting worse.

AR will go 0-10 too. They are going to be a total rebuild from the ground up and will play like a good high school team this year.

 

[Hurley Mooncalf]

Question is, will Derek Mason's vest opt out?
