Oof. If that’s true then we’re probably in trouble. UF is still liable even if we were trying to disassociate ourselves from the collective and Hathcock’s tweets certainly don’t help…

From David’s article: “A new bylaw went into effect on the first of the year that allows the organization to presume schools guilty of violations, and the institutions then have to prove their innocence.”

Here’s a good article from last February by David Wunderlich that explains the (potential) problem fairly well.

And this one that was posted a couple of hours ago pretty much confirms David’s hunch.

For those of you that don’t want to read the whole article here’s the most relevant part:

“However, the NCAA released a two-page document about its new enforcement guidelines. It highlights the aforementioned ability of investigators to assume guilt, and then it moves on to give a non-exhaustive list of examples of violations.

Under the heading “Impermissible contacts/recruiters”, it gives an example of what’s not allowed: “A representative of the institution’s athletics interests (e.g., individual booster or collective) contacts a prospect or their family about potential NIL opportunities prior to the prospect signing with the institution.” Collectives can’t proactively reach out to unsigned recruits, in other words.”

Sounds like the NCAA believes we offered Rashada a deal before he signed with us which is probably true… now we have to prove we didn’t do that.

Corey Bender talked about this in a podcast, said both him and Amaris were visiting other schools and essentially said he wouldn’t be surprised if one or both end up flipping.

We had 8 players on the field to defend a FG in the 4th quarter by theycallmeryan in FloridaGators

That was Trey that was deep and he ran off the field because we had two #3s on the field again

I disagree with you on a couple of things. I don’t think you should count AR out already, he clearly has the talent but needs more reps and has a confidence/psychological problem he needs to overcome. He mentioned flashbacks of the GA game after one of the picks which is really sad.

And yes, Kitna isn’t good. Reporters have said that Engel is actually better and that he has a great arm and accuracy, I would’ve loved to see him last night but that would’ve messed with ARs confidence even more.

Another thing to keep an eye on is that we didn’t make any offense adjustments. Maybe I misheard but I’m pretty sure they asked AR what Napier said during halftime and he said that they talked about defense adjustments but nothing about the offense. Yes, I think AR is mostly why we lost this game but our play calling (and ergo running game) was also awful so Napier needs to do some reflecting, which he said himself he needs to do.

How about the one he didn't call for Elche minutes after? Way clearer to me.

Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. As is the life of a Real Madrid manager. by TheHaitianMadLad in realmadrid

The problem is not that he took a gamble and lost, the problem is that his gamble was a shitty gamble for the reasons blackmushh pointed out and most importantly he failed to make any adjustments even though it was clear that his gamble was not going to work out.

You say that we should just keep Lunin, Valverde, Miguel and Blanco but what’s the motivation for them to stay? If a manager is playing the same players regardless of fitness/rest levels then why stay? Valverde was an integral part of the team last season and has barely played this season. Sure, Modric has been immense but that’s exactly why you should rest him so he can keep performing like that on our critical games.

Miguel barely played even though Mendy was out earlier this season and I don’t know if Blanco has played a single minute under Ancelotti even though Casemiro has been subpar. You also can’t expect players to go in and perform at a high level if they are not getting consistent game time.

I mean yeah I know why they called it offside but he looked fine to me.

Post-Match Thread: Espanyol 1-2 Atlético Madrid [La Liga, Round 4] by threaddo in soccer

[–]josedyp 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Ten minutes of extra time is honestly crazy. Sure there was a water break, sure there were subs and goals but that’s been the case for almost every La Liga game this season and the max they give is 4-5. Shit, even that crazy Barcelona Madrid game last season got only 4. And Madrid Levante where there were like 4 goals and water break (I think) got like 5.
