Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Ten_Titans]

You know you can fire Pruitt without involving the ncaa.

No... You can't. The whistleblower would have just turned to the NCAA the second Plowman ignored it.

Case in point: That is EXACTLY what happened at Arizona State.

Any chance of firing Pruitt for performance was gone when Plowman was involved.

I see the quad work happening

What’s crazy is that I don’t have to work my quads or calves at all. Born with them. Not the same for upper body strength however.

 

[Weezer]

What do you mean "we"? The results of the investigation were turned over to the NCAA months ago.

If true, why haven't we self-imposed penalties? I haven't heard that results were turned over to the NCAA. Last I heard, people were still being interviewed.

 

[volbeast33]

NCAA was always going to be involved in this. I was hearing about it in May 2020.
And I am nobody

I would have let them try to prove what they could prove but it’s to move on

 

[Weezer]

You have to involve the NCAA. You don't have to publicize every dirty secret.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I didnt mean for us. I mean for a student athlete. Kid could make real money.

Oh my bad. I read it wrong.

Why self impose now when it has become legal to basically pay players

We were hearing it here in 2019 from the @Atlanta VOL.

what have you done for the university?

 

[Weezer]

Because it wasn't legal when we were doing it. And it's still not legal to pay the players outright. They can profit off of NIL.

This inveatigation is ugly. It is overshadowing what should hve been a decent year athletics wise.

Did I miss something yesterday? Why all the talk about Donde and investigation all a sudden?

 

[SweetasSoda]

I’m an engineer. It’s part of the curse.

You should see the other side with my pegboard that stretches the whole wall. It’s kind of stupid. I did successfully stuff the wheelbarrow, push mower, and table saw under that side on the right among other things, which was fortunate.

Gotta keep both cars in the garage at all costs. Even if it means backing the zero turn into a corner Austin Powers style. Did I mention it’s a curse?

Lol my grandson was building elaborate symmetrical towers yesterday with blocks that had to be the same size and color on each side. I told my son he was cursed like us! We just can't do things the easy way.

[drvenner]

Gotta hand it to ya.......you always have very witty replies! Love it

I give my wife similar responses and all I get is the eat ****, and die look, lol

 

[SweetasSoda]

I don't understand the interest in her at all.

Once she hired Danny White, the days of her thinking about the football team, or any sport for that matter, were over. Is she going to give DW the resources he wants? That's where her involvement in athletics begins and ends at this point. All signs point to yes, so who cares?

As far as the firing of Pruitt, I still want someone to explain to me what exactly she was supposed to do differently, except possibly fire everyone in November. Whistleblower shows up to your office with damning evidence and you do nothing. What are you gonna do when that Whistleblower sends the same damning evidence to the NCAA instead, like what happened at ASU? Put a hit on him mafia style? As far as I'm concerned she has done the obvious at every step. There isn't anything to do once internal people in your program are willing to go Whistleblower. There were no good options after that.

Well said

No good options

She lets you wake up everyday, so you got that going for you.

I think she will be judged based on how much the NCAA accepts our self imposed sanctions. If they drag it out a couple more years and still hammer us, then it obviously won't look good for her. I agree she had very little choice. People give her grief over airing it out in public. Again, we shall see if that was the right thing to do.

@utknate approves

 

[drvenner]

So a dyslexic man walked into a bra...

Don't be a Boob by making fun of dyslexia.

Ask Fulmer

 

[drvenner]

So far

 

[SweetasSoda]

Apparently JP made everything easy to prove. Thought he was at AL or GA where there are not whistleblowers.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Yes, make the NCAA have the pressure of deciding what to punish and how since it is now legal, and we cleaned out the AD.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Fulmer was the problem..he dug in his heels to back that PoS loser, thus giving the folks that wanted him gone the justification they were looking for to get rid of him and retake control of the program..and that is why we are where we are now.

I really don't like that group of folks, and I firmly believe they are the ones that are really to blame for the tailspin of the last 15 years...but Fulmers group only made things worse..so maybe the ones in control again learned their lessons.

Lol..that jokes a real..bust..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

They don't have whistle-blowers because they don't hire little snitches like the one that caused all this.
