If I was the AD, I'd cut the entire team, forfeit the next game and take an entire team of walk ons for the game the week after. frick that shite. It's Grambling. I'd be dammed if some Division II or III or whatever they are, SWAC team was gonna pull some bull shite like that
bullshite like what?

Did you read the article? What if their allegations are true? You're ok with them not being fed?

I think I know what's going on here...

Morehouse isn't what it used to be. But that is a totally different conversation...

it didn't say they weren't fed, just not fed the full amount of meals they're allowed, that could be not getting dinner the day they get back when they got back earlier than expected and the players are pissed they didn't get a free dinner that night

What about 12 hour bus rides to games that the admins fly to?

that's different, I was just pointing out how the meal allegations could be overblown

I asked my uncle who is a Grambling alum about this.

There is a lot of shite, including but not limited to things mentioned in this thread.

At this point, I fully support their taking a stand against corrupt "leadership".

Everything about grambling admin is a joke, both academically and athletics. This protest, even if somewhat flawed, is the smartest thing to happen at that shithole in years.

South Carolina St is the same way now.

How do you not have a licensed CPA controlling the school's accounting? It's crazy how entitled those people feel.

Blame Sally Clausen at the ul system board. They should be overseeing everything grambling does with its appropriation funds. She had her head shoved up gramblings arse. Moffett apparently didn't change anything. Maybe this will wake the new president up
