Is that standard precedence to stagger the suspensions due to them decimating a position? I don't follow the rulings of the NCAA closely enough to know.

Carney/Fox are the starting DEs
Corrales is a backup WR
Surratt was going to lose the QB competition
Tucker is the backup RT
Johnson/Davidson are walkons and the others are all 3rd string

Pulled from reddit thread on the subject. Though some are saying Surratt was rumored to lose the QB competition because the coaches knew about this.

Does this mean that this type of request is not standard? given the circumstances?

I think it has been done before when maybe it was florida had liek 4 rbs suspended. It actually makes sense. I mean lets say you have 6 de's total and 5 get suspended, that one kids going to hate life.

Tomron Fox (DE) will be the only one suspended for our game, as I take it. I don't think he's in the two deep. His brother Tomari (DE) is one of our recruiting targets.

Edited: Well I stand corrected. I guess he's a starter? Is that right?

This is a tough one for me.

On one hand, screw the NCAA for this staggered suspension rule and UNC for once again getting preferential treatment

But on the other hand, I think it is absolutely ridiculous suspend these kids for selling their Jordans.
I don’t, these kids know the rules. Product cost money and the suppliers are not in business to give stuff away for free just to have someone profit off it. Now, if someone doesn’t agree with that then it’s fine, but the kids still know the rules, and you have to take responsibility for your actions no matter how small.

Agreed. If it’s not already clear enough make the players sign acknowledgement that their gear / swag is school property that they are granted personal issue / use of until they leave school at which time the ownership of said used property s transferred to them.

But I don’t think this legalese should be necessary to begin with.

I’m fine if someone gives you something and you want to sell it. My issue is when someone gives you something as part of a deal/contract and you sell it. They are giving you product to help you preform better. I own my own company and I’d pretty upset if I bought an employee of mine something for work and they sold it. JMO though.

I suspect it has nothing to do with that. I think it's an NCAA rule to permit swag without permitting undue financial benefits.

I do too, I was just making a statement of how I see it and why I don’t think it’s ok outside of the NCAA rules. I probably could have specified that.
