I don't think so. It didn't stop Cade from signing with Georgia in the first place. The finger incident took place on a recruiting visit. Cade still ended up at Georgia. The lawsuit was filed years later when Cade was looking to transfer.

And three days before Sam Pittman, who recruited Cade to Georgia, was announced as the HC at Arkansas.

But that's exactly the implication. When the incident occurred, the implication was UGA would take care of it. They didn't, so Kevin was forced to sue. This lead to it being a very bad situation for a student athlete.

What responsibility does the University of Georgia have to ensure that Kevin Mays is capable of properly standing up from a folding chair without injuring himself?

What does covid have to do with anything remotely related to Cade Mays situation?
Click to expand...
because it is an abbreviated year, with different rules surrounding NCAA eligibility, mainly that this year does not count agtainst NCAA years played. So all the rules are a bit influx with wiggle room, if they choose to anyway

Everyone gets a free year of eligibility. It’s a rule change for everybody due to Covid. This has been a point Pruitt, Swain, Trey Smith, and so many others have made.

Add in the fact the one time transfer rule would have been in place without Covid.

Shame on Greg Sankey and the SEC for not giving Cade a ruling (after already being approved by the NCAA) THE NIGHT BEFORE THE OPENING GAME.

Rest assured, if it was UGA, Alabama, LSU, or Florida that was in this situation, they would have had an answer and a likely eligible 5* OT starting for them tomorrow.

No doubt and it confirms why I continue stating sankey is a puss and a weak individual. I cannot stand him.

Hmm, not too sure I'd do that. What if a miracle happens and we go on a tear and are sitting at about 7-0... then Stankey would surely (with a little encouragement from across the state) grow a set and rule that we forfeit all wins in which CM participated. Just throwing that out there as a possibility.

Yeah so what IF the miracle happens and we go 10-0. Do you really think Sanky would vacate the wins? Can he, or does the "committee" have too? You think those guys would go on the record, voting to vacate wins? Remember, they would have to answer to every recruit as to why they did that!!
Lastly, the College Football Championship is s NOT run by the NCAA or the SEC. WE could go 10-0, have every game Cade played in vacated and still go to and win the Title!!!!!

Wouldn't that be the stuff of legends; 2-10 Tennessee wins the National Championship and we get to keep all the money cause we didn't represent the SEC!!!!!!

He's already responded. Basically said quit inviting kids to campus knowing what the rules are and then asking for a waiver. Vote to change the rules or don't ask.

I can't stand administrators or commissioners that won't administrate.

If the job were a simple matter of applying rules from a lookup table, we could replace Greg Sankey with a computer program. The fact of the matter is, recognizing that there is a human element in these things where cases need to be looked at individually is part of the job.

This is just another case of administration willing to hide behind a rulebook and screw over a kid if it means one less instance of having to actually use the sense God gave geese.

Meanwhile, blame Pruitt... For inviting a kid to the place where he grew up, where his parents live, and where his brother plays football. ****ing idiot.

Their responsibility is to make sure every chair can be used without any possibility of seriously bodily harm.

I heard on the Vols Power Hour, that until Sankey makes a definitive decision (says no) officially, that Cade is traveling to Athens, and will be on the sidelines for any sideline interviews, or basic optics, to keep the drama in full view. Honestly, when the NCAA drops the whole 1 year probation (which is basically what it is) I still think Sankey and the SEC will say, "oh that's nice the NCAA authorized you, but this is an SEC rule, sorry folks, come on back next year." It is what it is, but the O-line is stacked, and will back stacked even more next year if Cade decides he really wants to play with his little bro!

By the time all's said and done, I think UGA/Kirby will regret not greenlighting Cade and Ole Miss guy. Alot of dirty laundry coming out on UGA/Kirby, which could seriously impact commit status or future commits...from what I've heard. Kirby had the opportunity, from a PR perspective to look really good, but he didn't and may suffer consequences.

Georgia has no legal obligation to ensure that Kevin Mays is capable of using a standard folding chair without harming himself.

I never said it was right, but that’s how the legal system works. GA and 7 other defendants are being held liable, who knows what’ll happen in court
