I also dont see why everyone is so pissed about the medical hardships. If you dont want to go on one, your free to transfer to any school that will have you, and if you do go on one you get a free education, and you dont have to do anything to keep it. Sounds terrible. I cant believe Bama would give these kids a free education when they could kick them out into the street. Its reprehensible.



The only thing I would say is that players forced to take a medical or transfer should be able to transfer without having to sit out at all.

When one program has 12 medical hardships in 3 years and you compare it to programs that average 4 medical hardships in 10 years questions will be asked and red flags will go up. Just sayin.

Its a gray area for sure.

We could do it the Nutt or Petrino way and just cut the kids.

"First of all, I've never gotten rid of a player who didn't create his own circumstances for why he had to leave the program, whether it was academic, whether it was behavior, whether it was drug-related, whatever," Saban said. "Really, I've always given guys more rope than they deserve, and I think the innuendo out there is that I'm just picking and choosing which guys to run off, and people bring it up that I've medical-ed more people. Well, yeah, I medical them so they can stay in school and graduate, where other people just get rid of them. I don't make those decisions, either. The doctors make them, and we have great doctors."

I kind of thought that was funny because of why he is at Alabama in the first place, doctors saying no to Brees but yes to Culpepper.

LSU fan: but this doesn't happen at Penn State. Maybe PSU loses some recruits but at least they are intelligent, study, and do class work or are in the JOEPA doghouse. Of course some run afoul of the rules. However they are punished or removed from the squad. Still there are some who suffer consequences and return but I believe overall it is as clean a program as can be expected in this age. Passed over recruits who fall below the admission standards (great athletes) hurt the program - it is clean to date. At least Paterno hasn't pulled a Pete Carroll, Lou Holtz and run a dirty ship and then FLED when the NCAA sanctions happen. Go LSU

right because i'm sure druggies and guys who travel in packs to beat people up would most def turn down an illegal benefit such as a discounted tatoo or car

Penn State: We get arrested weekly, but we will not violate ncaa rules.

Paterno has yet to resign!! And although he has attacked game officials (at age 80) he has yet to cuff an opposing cheerleader ala Woody Hayes. Go LSU.

I wonder if Ray was recently given some $$$ by Michigan alumni; you know Michigan is just loving all this....
