I am not a college football fan, but this reeks of BS. I read the story, and it sounds like they screwed up and didn’t put the guy in an ice bath and he died.
It is a hard sport. They train them hard and probably panicked and made a mistake when the kid seized. It happens to non-professionals and even occasionally to some professionals.
So someone has to pay.
Sorry the young guy died. But people die, it happens. I don’t watch the news, but my wife had it on when we were doing the trick or treat thing with the neighborhood kids so I couldn’t help seeing it.
And it reeked of moral outrage.
I didn’t even know he was on the hot seat.
Texas State’s coach won last week but he still should be wearing asbestos.
How the hell they reinstated him in the first place is beyond me...
Everyone one the board of regents who advocated and /or approved this should be removed immediately
The NCAA corruption of Maryland is complete.
The idiot coach kills a kid with fake-macho exercise. The President said fire his ass. The Board of Regents disagreed; after all, there’s football tickets to sell! The President resigned (presumably forced to by the Board). The athletes went ballistic. The Board of Regents must’ve realized that protests would hurt ticket sales (and TV audiences) and caved, apparently not to doing the right thing, but because they realized they had miscalculated how to sell their souls to the devil.
Florida State will have an opening soon.
Bear Bryant coached at Maryland. I think he and Curly Byrd couldn’t get along.
Slightly ot -
I understand B1G’s expansion into the East coast, $$$ talks and recruiting etc.
But Rutgers and U of Maryland really don’t belong to B1G. They don’t have the same culture, the same background.
Other than that, I don’t have anything to add to the topic at hand, sorry.
Not only does Durkin have a good claim to his full contract, he might also be able to sue for wrongful termination. Huge $$$ when you consider the impact on his future earnings.
Here in Oklahoma they should fire Donovan the Thunder Blunder. Not a good season since he arrived.
Suspend the football program for a couple of years. It serves no useful purpose for the university
