Will Grier loses appeal

[G8RNGA]

Quote: "Grier will argue that he was given information that the supplement he took was indeed cleared by the NCAA and hope to have his suspension mitigated, enabling him to play at the beginning of the 2016 season. His attorneys have hired experts to help aid them in proving that Grier had no knowledge that the supplement he took contained a banned substance. Additionally, Grier and his representation will argue that the policy that the NCAA holds student-athletes — which is congruent to the standard that Florida adopts — to is too harsh."

So did a trainer or staff member say it was okay? It may not change the outcome with how crazy the NCAA chooses how it doles out punishment,

 

[I Have No Friends :(]

Look I'm one of the biggest Grier fans around, but from my understanding he didn't get the supplement cleared by our training staff before taking it. If that's the case, then shame on Grier. I really hope his appeal goes through and we get him back for the beginning of next season, but I'm still not hopeful that will be the case. Rooting for you, Grier, but seriously next time talk to the training staff first okay?

Why should anyone have to get permission to take some extenze?

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

To slightly change Matt Damon's quote from The Martian, Grier and his people are going to have to lawyer the sh*t out of this.

 

[crosscreekcooter]

Does Mark Emmertt rule in the appeals process (ala Roger Goodell)?

Hope it works out and see you at the beginning of the 2016 season.

What's the over/under on number of days before the NCAA shoots it down?

 

[biggator6]

NFL player gets caught using 'roids - 4 games. Just saying.

 

[Gatorhunter]

What's the over/under on number of days before the NCAA shoots it down?

Probably around 365 days.

 

[NavetG8r]

Probably around 365 days.

I'm thinking more like less than a week.

I'm thinking more like less than a week.

I'm not sure they check their mail more than once per week..

Grier's milkshake mistake did not enhance his on the field QB skills. The drink was over-the-counter normal consumer
product that Grier could have got in the routine of drinking in off-season when staff were not available or at least the
contact with staff was not in "ez-flow" at the time. Yada, yada, yada ...

Regardless, I think the punishment has too much personal life ruinous effect, no matter what school the athlete
represents, considering no "on-field" drug-advantage exists.

Agreed... I even felt bad for that OL for UGA who lost 3 years over some cortisone shot.

I'd have to tighten the other 3/4 back up.

Good luck to him. I'd love to have him back for next season as watching Treon play QB is painful. That said, I've moved on. It is the NCAA. I do not expect the ruling to change.

 

[The Original DC]

So yet again, if the suspension holds, we'll play LSU next year without our best QB.

Or ...

"I'd have to tighten up the other 3/4" ...and not have to end your sentence with a preposition.

I expect the NCAA to rule on his appeal 6 games into the 2016 schedule.
