Cliffs: Ben McDonald calls it like it is. If you opt out you are quitting. He throws it down in pretty harsh straightforward terms. I agree with him 100%.

The woke people will be out in full force to trash him. Ben is 100% right and knows plenty about this topic.

Opting out should have only been option before first kickoff unless the player or immediate family member gets it after season started. After that, it is quitting and scholly should be pulled

Hes right. Other than a major family healthy crisis or something what these players have done is quit in their coaches, their fans and their teammates.

If LSU tells a committed recruit they offered a scholarship to to “look elsewhere” then LSU is “quitting” too.

These threads are ridiculous and should be removed for ignorance and redundancy.

Downvote this if you want but I’m 100% correct. If it’s good for LSU to do it to players, then it’s good for the players to do it to LSU.

Take your butthurt bullshite and stick it up your arse.

One of two things is happening with your comment:

1) you're either trying to throw a shiny hook in the water and I, regrettably, am taking it.

or

2) You're borderline retarded and I shouldn't argue with you bc people will wonder why I picking on someone who is mentally challenged.

But, not withstanding my above comments, here I go. Ben did not 'take' a years worth of tuition without fulfilling his obligation to the University and playing baseball. He also did not leave mid-season, or opt out of post-season. Ben doesn't begrudge someone forgoing their remaining eligibility to turn pro. He begrudges them playing part of a season and then quitting bc things go to rough.

While I don’t disagree, he is not football genetics.

BS. He played out his scholarship his junior yr completely.

Going pro after 3 is not quitting while the season is going on.

I never said mid season and neither did the OP. But LSU absolutely quit on the recruits they told to “look elsewhere”. FACT

The only way to stop the soft culture is to call it for what is.
