re: Les Miles on Elliot Porter today...

scholarships are 1-year contracts. there isn't this fine print or schools would get in serious trouble
Right. And you would know this how? The ability for the team to release a player because he got arrested would be just one thing that would be written out in this document. That's just one agreement. There's probably several other agreements that allow a team to release you including the case the Porter is in. These kind of release / firing conditions are on just about every contract for so many different jobs.
quote:
they're not, which is why porter was so shocked
Porter is shocked that Miles didn't mention that he was a candidate, not because something like this isn't mentioned in the contract. Once again, you don't know what all is involved in a Letter of Intent. Neither do I. However, more than likely, LSU has EVERY RIGHT to do what they did in this situation, therefore no lawsuit can be made. You're assuming a lot of stuff that you don't know on such a claim.

That's just not how it works. Sorry. I know it fits SFP's agenda. The FACT is, LSU will start paying his way in January if he shows up. Do you guys really not know what pulled means
what do you mean that's not how it works??
He can't play during the 2010-2011 football season, not for LSU at least. What are you talking about?

are you denying that a scholarship for the 2010-2011 fall LSU semester is not an individual, intangible item?

This part: "He may get another offer for 2011-2012,"
There is no "may". No greyshirt is turned away come January.

it can be, but it won't. CFB is a good ole boys club and doing something like suing schools is a huge no no

then how can you argue he hasn't lost anything
he had an intangible item in his possession (the LSU scholarship for 2010-2011)
now he does not possess that item

quote:denial of the f up. Miles failed to communicate the possibility that someone would have to greyshirt if all the kids signed made it. End result is Porter is left in a bad situation
Denial of what? It was a bad situation. Do you think it was done intentionally?
quote:I care that a LA kid that shaved LSU in the side of his hair as a sign of how excited he was before he got to campus and worked out all summer was screwed over. Why wouldn't I? The fact that it was done bc of another patented LM's miscommunitcation isn't a surprise to anyone.
You don't care about Porter. You simply are excited to have something to bitch about Miles about.

The way I read it, if the school does not fulfill the offer of a scholarship then the LOI is then null and void.

Books your an idiot 24 hrs is if he found out today the 4th camp starts tomorrow. if he found out yesterday he had at least 48 hours

I'm not talking about how ethical the situation is. I'm strictly debating the legality of what happened which SFP brought up.

I never said he did. He didn't have to violate anything for him to be eligible for the team to release him.

That's a very general run-down of the agreement. There's way more to the contract than that. You and I both know that for a fact. The article doesn't even mention the ability for a team to release a player for conduct problems during that time period, and we all know teams can/have done that in the past. That's one obvious aspect of a release that's not even mentioned in the article and it's a very well-known, and used aspect.

if he would have WOWED the coaches during the summer he wouldn't have been asked to greyshirt

Why would you want someone that did the best over the summer to greyshirt?
