I don't necessarily agree with his reasoning, but don't necessarily disagree with the point that Fowler should remove himself from the team either. I feel like Fowler's comments "I'm leaving with Mushchamp, simple as that" says he's checked out. No longer desires to be a Gator and probably won't be giving anywhere near 100% on the field because of it. Should the university pull his scholarship if he decided to refuse to play as this man suggests?
I don't think it's reached the point of Fowler not wanting to play for us. If nothing else, it would create some serious character questions for the scouts to look at. There's virtually no chance that he doesn't experience some turmoil and instability at the next level. Is this his reaction every time a decision is made that he doesn't like? That would not help DF at all.
But I think tomorrow and next Saturday will tell us a lot about WM's mindset. If he's truly appreciative of the opportunity that Foley gave him, and thankful for all that the program has done for him, then he needs to reign these kids back in, and make sure that everyone plays their best to represent the school and team. This nonsense being put out there via social media is wrong and need to stop. These kids have been given everything by the University, not Will Muschamp. And while they may not like the decision right now, it was made with the sole purpose of getting them a better coach that can take their talent and abilities to new and better heights. If there is even a hint of less than 100% effort from here on out, I think that falls directly on WM. This is not, and shouldn't be, about him. It should be about the University of Florida.
And this article's author represents everything that is wrong with college athletics. Forbes should be ashamed.
