The Blue Board

You deserve to be banned for the way you have conducted yourself in this thread. Go back and read it. All you are doing is flaming, yelling, and using foul language. If you had any intention of actually having an intelligent football conversation you would have addressed the rest of my post.

Actually yes. If the kid has busted his a$$ so that he can go to school somewhere (wether that be from athletics, or academics) and does everything asked of him, yet gets denied, then yes, I do care. It just goes against the general idea of the American dream. Doesn't matter if I know the kid or not.

That's it. I'm locking this thread.

Actually the situation with the abused and homeless is harder to fix, This is much easier. 2nd If I want to concern myself with this I will.

Less fat than perpetually injured and not a legacy. Also, he couldn't deliver Kwon Alexander.

Ok then get out there and fix it you self righteous hypocrite.

You and me, we come from different worlds. You like to laugh at me when I look at other girls. Sometimes you're crazy, makes me wonder why I'm such a baby cause the Dolphins made me cry.

regardless you should go "make a difference in a kids life" since you are apparently Ghandi. As I said I wasn't coming here to stir the pot, I just wanted to know peoples honest feelings and I guess that I have found them, however f***** up they may be. Way to reflect on your fan base there bud.

I was at work reading this whole thread and i wanted to pose a question since i have no idea. I know multiple times you bama fans have stated that the kids always end up getting the greyshirt and not just getting cut loose. I know its been mentioned that its almost exclusively offered because of injury. Have there been any times where the kid either got his greyshirt and then went on medical hardship or before he got the greyshirt went on hardship if thats even possible?

It is kind of sad watching that video. It's hard to care when its just a news story with text but once you see the kids emotions and hear about the tears in the hallway....well yes it does tend to strike a chord. It's pretty sad and i get that the practice is allowed by the NCAA but it would just be nice to see a couple of bama fans say yeah that was a pretty terrible thing. I just dont understand why it always has to be yeah thats a terrible thing but blah blah blah. It was sad period. Then again i get that too. Your fanbase is always under assault for the practice so there is no choice but to fight it out with your rivals and big 10 detractors. I just think everyone would be better off if we could just agree to the simple statement that it was a sad thing that a kid got hurt over a bad rule that someone took advantage of

42-14 loser. Such a phoney.

What is wrong with kids getting to go to the college of their choice if that college can offer them a scholarship?

What's wrong with that is exactly what you say here:

"You can't just "eliminate scholarship limits", since the big state schools in the more talented states would have a complete monopoly on college football. If Texas/USC could sign as many Texas/California kids as wanted to sign, they'd never lose a football game. Ever."

What you are saying is that "my school and others like them would never be able to compete with those traditional powers where talented prospects would really like to attend so we need some governmental style regulation to allow us to compete on a forced basis"...

That is what is causing situations like this and what costs many kids who may never have a chance at a college education otherwise an opportunity. Limiting scholarships to falsely level a playing field has a price and it is being borne by those who can afford it the least in a lot of situations.

If your school (or the one that I pull for) can't attract athletes without inappropriate forced regulation then your school (or mine if that were the case) should play with other schools in similar situations; That is why there are different classes at the high school level - bigger schools play against bigger schools; In college, however, the farce of forced parity so that those schools who cannot attract top level talent consistently but want the revenue and attention associated with a winning football program creates a situation where kids get "managed" out of being able to play for the school of their choice.

The Philon case is a sad but clear picture of the flaw of signing limits forced upon college football by the small schools who "wannabe" big time programs. Do I wish that had ended better.. absolutely. But the system is where the blame lies.

Please show me numbers to prove that Auburn sends "nowhere near" as many players to the NFL or has them graduate. Watch this:

Nobody has explained to me why so many more Alabama players are confirmed Satanist than the rest of college football combined.
