I was generally with you until this. I'm one of the biggest JFN fans on the planet, but you and I both know this isn't true. Not picking on you particularly, but hyperbolic comments like this on both sides is what continue to derail these discussions. (of course, all those caveats about...

So you're only dumping on two sets of GT fans from last year. Those that were ok with a 1-3 start and those that weren't. Sounds like a good way to make friends.

Just to clarify... Which is it? Were we "ok with starting 1-3 last year" or were we "melting down"?

We're all still anxiously waiting on further info from @Boss Ross on this one. I, for one, could hardly sleep last night.

Wait, wut? Tell us more.

Tobias Oliver led GT (you know, the team with little to no talent) to three double-digit wins over P5 football teams last year running Citadel's offense.

Over the years, I've watched teams come into BDS (Wofford in 2014, Mercer in 2016) that were clearly outsized and outtalented and GT ended up winning fairly comfortably, but you could tell by watching them that they were well-coached, prepared, and played with discipline. Their coaches' in-game...

2009 - Bebe's $300 in clothing and men's basketball on-campus tournaments (ie "improper tryouts") - sanctions issued in 2011. 2011-2012 - Improper texts and phone calls by basketball staff because our compliance staff was incompetent - sanctions issued in 2014. So 3 major violations involving...

True, but a lot has happened since 2009, including the NCAA's faceplant on Sandusky and their cowardice on UNC fake classes. The NCAA has gotten gun-shy when faced with significant pushback, particularly litigation, and instead is hammering cooperative schools who are less likely to file...

Unfortunately, this seems to really be the case. If you read the decision, its clear most of the evidence used by the NCAA was obtained with the assistance of GT, particularly phone records. The NCAA has no subpoena power and employee's personal phones are not generally subject to FOIA. At...

As an attorney, I also have to commend his text message management process. Per the NCAA decision: "The head coach has a personal process whereby he deletes text messages daily after responding and completing conversations." I wish more of my clients would do the same.

True, glad we can rely on the NCAA waiver process to be transparent and consistent.

Yes, but only for those in their last year of eligibility. Banks and Shembari by my reckoning, although Banks still has a redshirt year so not sure how that plays in. Full text of the rule: The Council Subcommittee for Legislative Relief may waive the one-year residence requirement for...

We tried a more aggressive approach back in 2009 and still got hammered. This time we're commended for cooperating... same result. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I like the idea, but would probably hold off until after the appeal.

Yep, p. 23 of the decision: https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/infractions/decisions/Sep2019INF_GeorgiaTechPublicInfractionsDecision.pdf

The more I read and think about this, the less sense it makes. Everyone knows the Ron Bell shenanigans and the NCAA has acknowledged he was a rogue actor. Summary of the DLab events from the NCAA decision: DLab and Justin Moore take Wendall Carter to former GT player's (presumably JJack)...

As much fun as this would be to poke the NCAA in the eye, the sanctions include dissassociation with DLab and Jack for three years.

For those interested, here's the decision: https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/infractions/decisions/Sep2019INF_GeorgiaTechPublicInfractionsDecision.pdf

Not sure that's correct. I read it as a cap of 11 scholarships each year for the next four years. The ban on visits and communications is the biggest killer for a program trying to climb back to respectability.
