I can't tell if it's my fanhood or my old age that made me cringe at the thought of them injuring themselves doing those bent legged cuts haha. Probably both.

 

DANG get em in a rap Gator video!

 

Lower level schools should be illegal and those kids that are injured should win lawsuits.

 

I've often felt bad for the kids who have to play against guys who are bigger, stronger and faster. You witness the physical toll as the game wears on and it's all about money for the school they represent.

 

Its like boxing or mma when they put someone in the ring who doesnt belong there. They have a commission to sanction for the safety of the fighters. Its really the same thing and should be illegal.

 

The AD of those small schools should put a dinner voucher, a massage voucher and a $100.0 bill in an envelope for those kids that get beat up like that!

 

Candy,
I watched an On3 you tube last night, they were talking Gators with a recruiting guru named Simmons who was projecting 3 or 4 more picks for UF coming this month, pretty good stuff.

 

The below linked situation was the turning point for me on college athletics as ‘amateur’ vs ‘professional.’ North Texas linebacker paralyzed for life in a game. Poor family with no way to care for him. He sues for workers comp and loses.

Universities and conferences were making billions (witness them paying $2.8 Billion for lost lawsuit - where’d that money come from?), but they couldn’t (wouldn’t) insure kids for catastrophic injury? And the small schools put kids out to get wrecked for a paycheck (for the coaches, conferences- not the kids)? Just immoral to leave a kid like that.

If i want to fight mike tyson for a million dollars and i sign a waiver , fine. If you get the million dollar and i get the brain injury, i dont think i like that deal. No wonder the schools can get zero traction in court, their stance is laughable and disgusting.
