    To me it's not about them beating my team (Bama also beat some other teams, one where the player scored 19 points) but it's about rules, policies, procedures. NCAA is so afraid of being sued and so afraid of being the "bad guy" that they have laxed on what used to be cut and dry.

    Bama used an ineligible player. They took the risk. They should receive the punishment. 

    Pretty clear to me.

    I agree. I guess my point was more about how it shouldn’t have even been an option in the first place. The Ags got screwed, momentum came to a standstill, and anyone with two brain cells knew this was going to be the outcome. Even if they get the win through a forfeit the situation was detrimental to their season to some degree

    I believe I have already agreed with you on this point but that is obviously not good enough, it’s not always about Trump. This administration has an opportunity to blow this wide open and they’re passing on it and hiding information from the public. Did you watch the judiciary hearing with Pam Bondi the other day? It was embarrassing and this was Trumps response. Trump is tone deaf! It’s not ALL about him! The law he signed called the Epstein Files Transparency Act got almost a unanimous vote from Republicans and Democrats 
    which rarely happens. 

     

     

    Everybody hates on CardinalBacker, but he's hit the nail on the head when he talks about people ignoring a lot of really bad behavior/poor performance and circling the wagons around Trump. we're seeing more of it in this thread, including the continual deflection/pretending that the whole Epstein thing is an effort to get at Trump. I'm with you completely on the ideas that 1) this is much bigger than Trump (although if the ish sticks to him let him wear it) and 2) he's handled the whole situation horribly, shielding powerful people just as Biden did (either actively or through omissions and redactions).

    They should.  If a school chooses to run a kid out there before the case is final, they should assume the risk.  Jmo.  

    allowing players to play with pending litigation sets a really bad precedent. obviously, I'm no aggie fan, but they were on a fantastic run before losing to Bama. Bediako didn't do anything crazy in the game against the Ags, but he put up a few points and boards, a block, and provided 19 minutes of 7-ft-tall rim protection.  the Ags lost a game by 3 that they may have won had he not played. They've now lost 3 straight. Not only is it conceivable that Bediako being allowed to play changed the course of that game, it could be fairly reasonably argued that it changed the course of their season to some degree as well. Even if the ags get that win back through a forfeit, it doesn't do anything to remedy the poorer form they've been in since the loss, and i assume the committee would have an asterisk by a forfeited win as well when considering tourney seeding.

    I'm not certain where you get your information but it is off! First thing is the drug deal was set up in Silsbee. Jeremiah Grant, Bruce Newton, and Kyriq Wyatt. This was set up as a robbery by these 3 from Silsbee. Wyatt and Newton have been charged in this case and awaiting trial. Text messages showed these 3 set this robbery up. Luckily defense attorneys was able have phones checked and found out this was a setup. If not for good lawyer or police work, these 3 would be going to jail for murder. The 3 from Groves went to Silsbee to purchase the drugs. Grant sold the drugs to the driver Decuir. Once he had the money Grant pulled his gun on Decuir and demanded the weed back. When he didn't give it back, Grant pulled his gun and shot Decuir. He then turned his gun towards the back seat at Pfeffer and Pheffer shot him before Grant could shoot him. Emily wasn't pregnant nor has she ever owned a gun. Pheffer and Emily was at home asleep when Dequir called and asked Pheffer to ride with him to Silsbee and Emily went with her boyfriend. Where the group from groves made the mistake was hiding the weed and throwing Grant out of the front seat. Dequir was shot in the chest and was able to get out and help move Grant out onto the street. If they would have called the police right away, I don't believe Ranols or Pfeffer would have been charged with anything. That was clearly self defense and the jury felt that way too. Moving that body and drugs cost himself going to jail. Pfeffer more or less was found guilty of moving the body and drugs and having a gun during a drug deal. It seems like the other 2 that set this robbery up should have went to court at the time or before. Needless to say what in the hell was people going to Silsbee to buy drugs from someone they didn't know?

    Not sure where I got the info from at the time, as the post you're quoting is from 5 years ago. I said i got it from an article, but obviously I don't remember where the article was from at this point.

    I have voted for Democrats since I was able to vote, your theory is flawed. Trump sucks.

    but why? I voted for them some for a couple of cycles back before I had legitimate financial responsibilities. Now that I have real bills and children, I vote exclusively right, although I don't disagree with a lot of stuff that CB says on here.
