The Lions' Pride

Sounds like there are a lot of BOT's as members here....

Let's let BOB gather all the facts and then act accordingly - I am sure he will do what's necessary based on the facts - not speculation of what might have been happening and who might have been doing it..

Dumb a$$es.

I really long for the day that marijuana is legal.

So stupid that kids can go out and get blasted without repercussion but can't smoke a blunt.

Instead of cheesy ice cream music, you can blast dre or cypress hill. That would be awesome.

I now know someone is going to steal this idea but go ahead, I don't have the guts to quit my job and do it.

FWIW, not sure if it was mentioned, but Devon Smith practiced today. I know BoB mentioned that a decision had not yet been made and he was gathering info, but Smith definitely practiced.

And how would you set up the criteria for what kids you believed "Belonged in college"? Especially considering the limited amount of time coaches have in contact with these kids. And make no mistake about it they are kids. Often being recruited at 16 years of age or younger.

So I ask you...

Do you eliminate kids that came from poor environments?

How about kids that struggled slightly in school or unfortunately came from a schooling area that wasnt on par with the rest of the country?

I think its pretty ridiculous to sit on a high perch after the fact and talk about how bad these kids are when you have limited information about them and a limited amount of time to evaluate their character. Unless they are sitting on a criminal record, just about any kid can look the part of a good kid, and I'm sure most of them are good kids.

A kid that strays or goes wrong can come from any background and can come from any class of wealth.

Every one of these kids are gambles.

Easy, you don't make any exceptions for grades and/or do not allow them to notify admissions counselors that they are interested in varsity athletics. You do tha tby taking names off of admissions packages that go for review and instead use a numbering system that leaves all traces of names out to an unbias official. At no point in time is potential participation in varsity athletics part of the criteria.

Kids from poor environments and all socioeconomic classes get into college . Normal colleges don't eliminate them, neither would this process.

Not agreeing with him, just saying.
