Georgia is in shambles: Star linebacker charged with rape

[Sec14Gator]

Cade Mays’ lawyer is suggesting some real nasty split was due to the UGA coaches and says it is not due to the finger lawsuit. Per The Athletic article:

“In this case, there’s no value in being more explicit about what happened,” Mars said. “Being at all transparent about what happened would probably not sit well with Georgia fans anyway. Because I don’t think any of those Georgia fans want to hear anything that’s the least bit critical of their school’s athletic department or their football coaching staff.
...
I’m sitting in Atlanta right now. I’m not interested in trashing UGA, and there’s no benefit to doing that. And even if I tried to be very diplomatic about it, I’m sure what I had to say would not sit well with anybody in Athens or anybody that’s part of Dawg Nation. ... If UGA wanted to try this case in the press, I’d be happy to. But I don’t think they want to.”

Of course, the other side of the coin is that UGA through its boosters could also tell their side of the story and I’m sure the Mays family wouldn’t look good. Especially if he was receiving impermissible benefits, which as a 5* UGA recruit is almost guaranteed.

You're saying UGA boosters would expose one of their players was getting benefits? I think not.

No, but I don’t think its beyond reason to think they might make the threat. He’s not NFL ready yet - that would be very scary for his future.

I'd say it would be far more damaging to the leghumpers $hithole of a program than it is to the player.

Im surprised he didn't tell that kid to eff off.

If it were my QB it is what Id expect.

Of course, I cant imagine Dan letting a chick play QB.

Interesting quote in the Athletic article that supports @Swamp Donkey ’s assertion that many of these issues are not NCAA issues - they individual AD office issues.

“In those cases that I’ve not been involved in, the written advocacy varies from excellent to pathetic. It’s all across the board, and that’s one of the reasons we’re seeing what I prefer to call ‘perceived inconsistencies’ in who gets a waiver,” Mars said. “Often times, the results that appear to be inconsistent decisions aren’t the result of inconsistent decisions by decision makers in Indianapolis. They’re the result of one compliance office doing an excellent job presenting the case on behalf of the student-athlete and the other compliance staff doing a terrible job.”

In Mars’ view, the fix is simple, and it’s one with plenty of momentum across the sport. College football needs a one-time free transfer for every athlete and it needs one “within the next few months,” Mars said.

It is an interesting take that highlights a bigger societal issue: its always easiest to blame an external entity instead of looking within. Is the NCAA jacked up? Maybe, but I doubt its as bad as it seems.

They've just signed a 2021 QB commit that supposed to be the shyt and the grad transfer from Wake. So they seem to be fine.

"Committed;" not "signed." And while I suspect he'll keep his commitment, early signing day is still a long way away. A lot can happen.

Other than Sam Pittman, have any UGA assistants moved on to better roles?

Oh they FIRED Coley? I thought they just demoted him for running the offense that Kirby Duncechump wanted.

I meant to say “offensive”. I know all about Mel Tucker. It will be interesting to see how he pans out. He made a lot of changes here but not sure it will work out. Recruiting has gotten better but there is a sense that his decision making let a lot of talent regress this year.

There are more guys than gals at GT and most of them are pretty geeky. As a result the gals there like to say about the guys, “The odds are good, but the goods are odd.”
