I was just coming back to post that, so apparently those issues requiring him to be closer to home weren't that serious. It would definitely be interesting to know the back story to this, but in the end not knowing the details I wish him the best.

BTW, I don't think Saban would have handled this as well as CP did if the transfer was reversed, given the fact that he has flipped over these types of things when they don't benefit his program.

I would guess Petersen determined that this situation wasn't one where it was worth making a stand. Given the general public opinion regarding student athletes I don't think the coach of a major football program denying a release for a kid who just unexpectedly lost an aunt & uncle and who's parents are going through a divorce would have played well. At all. Petersen would have been savaged in the media and in general public opinion. Those of us that follow recruiting and know a bit more about what's going on would have been drowned out.

Now, if this kid didn't have that backstory to lean on, I'm not so sure Petersen would have been so ready to let him go. I guess we'll see if this kind of poaching becomes more common whether he changes his approach.

True but I think he is a bit more player friendly and measured than Saban. Peterson is one of my favorite coaches out there. Genuine guy who knows how to build a program. No disrespect to Saban, who is a helluva coach, but as a coach I would rather have my kid play for CP any day.

Didn't get as much publicity, nationally, but the same situation played out in SC a few months back.

Josh Belk (DT) enrolled at Clemson in January. He checked in at 387lbs after playing in the low 300s in high school. He (got) worked to get his weight down to the 310s by the start of spring practice. But was told he was looking at a redshirt because Clemson was so deep at DL and he was out of shape. He was told during recruiting (by his own admission) that he would be given a chance to beat out a senior for PT and if not would redshirt.

Random family member was suddenly sick. He dropped out of Clemson, after a letter was released by "his" lawyer, and subsequently enrolled in South Carolina to be closer to home. To be fair it is much closer. Clemson was 120 miles away and SC is ~70 miles away. lol.

He weighed in at summer report last week at...368.

Now they are petitioning the NCAA to not sit a year as a transfer.

Agreed on all counts. I can't believe how lucky Washington got that Petersen was ready to move on from Boise when the job opened. I grew up in the Don James era and put him on a very high pedestal, but I think Petersen is in every respect an even better coach and person.

What he has done for the program is nothing short of amazing. I don't follow the recruiting the way Dawgfan does, but as a fellow UW alum I'm sure I take as much pleasure in watching these guys on gameday as anyone.

Of course. It would just be nice if all the values talk from big programs was backed up with a little action. Saban could lose this guy and still win the next four championships.

Heh. I saw that. The timing of the disappearance was strictly coincidental!

Expectations are pretty high here in Wisconsin for 2018. It’ll be interesting to see if Alex Hornibrook will take the next step. He has talent at WR and of course the bread and butter of the rushing game should be there like always. I like the potential of the offensive unit.

Defensive line could be a weak spot with a few injuries claiming any depth.

Biggest hurdles to an undefeated regular season:
9/22 @Iowa
11/10 @ Penn St.

No Ohio State or Michigan State on the regular season schedule. They do play Michigan on the road also.

Anything less than winning the West should be a big disappointment.

What's been fun is not only are they putting up the results on the field, but the way he runs the program and the values he emphasizes make it really easy to root for them. I appreciated certain aspects of Sarkisian, and there's no doubt he did some heavy lifting to get the program back on its feet and set the stage for a guy like Petersen to be interested in the job, but Sark also had has definite downsides in the way he ran the program and the values he projected.

If those guys missed clear signs of present danger on the heat related issue, fine, that's actionable.

But when things are coming from players (and perhaps former employees) so easily upset cause they get barked at? Sounds like a lot of what's described in the article is pretty well deserved, that there was a lot of (alleged) athletes in the program that needed to be gone.

The pussification of America continues, nothing new here.

RainMaker · 08-11-2018, 02:08 PM

If they really waited an hour before calling 911, you have to think there will be criminal charges. When it comes to heat stroke, minutes count and you'd have to think he'd have a better chance of surviving with proper medical attention right away.

You also have to wonder why a school with an athletic department budget of $100 million wouldn't have someone on their training staff who could spot the signs of heat stroke.

JPhillips · 08-11-2018, 02:12 PM

There should be no difference between acceptable behavior in the classroom and the athletic complex. You don't have to be abusive to motivate and discipline.

The real pussies are the one's who only talk shit and assault people when they know the other person can't fight back. I guarantee you none of the people involved in this would dare say or do the things to those football players once they don't have a scholarship to hold over their head. Reason of course being they would get their shit pushed in.

It's like pointing at a caged lion and calling him a pussy for not fighting back.

Newsflash: they don't have any reason to "fight back", their job is to do their job. Or quit stealing money from the athletic department (I actually thought that was a specific line that really ought to be used a LOT more often at most programs frankly ... I've sure as hell seen a lot of them at the programs I know best, I can't imagine its different too many places).

Reading the article, what constitutes a problem for some of these characters is laughable. They aren't any more spoiled brats in the country that some of these so-called athletes, the only thing missing from some of them is a shitzu to put in their purse. They're why I really hope a draft is never necessary, cause if things get to that point, the country is fucked.

Who am I kidding? We're already fucked if this is even a discussion.

It's not a job. If the NCAA would like to change their rules and make it a job, by all means you may have a point. But a player can't say "I quit" and drive up to Rutgers and start "working" for them next week.

You and 99% of the country wouldn't make it 5 minutes into their workout without crumbling into the fetal position. Nor would you and others say any of these things within half a mile of these players.

Like I said, the real pussies are the one's who choose targets who can't fight back.

BishopMVP · 08-11-2018, 06:13 PM

So, Urban Meyer has been ordered to stay away from any contact with players/coaches, we're halfway through the 14 day timetable the university announced for their investigation... and they haven't met with Zach or Courtney Smith yet and the AD is on vacation?

I think Meyer couldn't care less if his assistants (or players) is committing DV unless it goes public, but if the university knew about Smith's 2009 DV arrest while at Florida when he was brought in, and Meyer passed the info up the chain in 2015 as he said, it sounds like the AD should be the fall guy here, not Meyer (or at the least go down with him.)

But it certainly seems like there's an internal power struggle going on with the BoT, so who knows which side they'll come down on. Even though nothing other than PR is holding them to it, giving themselves this 14 day timetable just seems dumber & dumber.

CU Tiger · 08-11-2018, 07:37 PM

Why does the investigation need to talk to Smith? Whether or not Zach abused her is irrelevant to the the Meyer case. If Meyer hard reasonable belief that he did, his contract require him to report it. Not to counsel, not to reprimand, but report. If he reported it he is covered, if he didn't he should swing. That simple.

Btw anyone else following the John Emery tweet saga?
If the NCAA wasn't a paper toothless tiger that would be a bigger story.

Should be finding out the fate of Urban meyer within the next couple hours.

He has been in meeting with the trustees for a couple hours. My guess? Suspension.

Ksyrup · 08-22-2018, 01:14 PM

My guess... 2 week suspension, coming back in time for the TCU game.

Ksyrup · 08-22-2018, 01:21 PM

This is kinda bizarre...

Trustee @ClarkKelloggCBS just came out to get a book he wants to read. He said it's a "Good robust discussion and progress is being made." Kellogg said Urban Meyer has not been in the room with trustees during discussions.

Clark isn't a trustee in the way some of the richer, more powerful folks are trustees. If he wants to sit in the back and read, I'm sure that's fine with the people making the decisions.

Scoobz0202 · 08-22-2018, 03:54 PM

CliffsNotes version (from what I've been told): Ohio State's BoT wants to reinstate Urban Meyer immediately. University president Michael Drake is balking at that; wants Meyer to serve a suspension. Meyer refuses to serve suspension since he thinks he did nothing wrong. #Buckeyes

So I guess this could come down to who has the actual authority, the BoT or the Univ. prez

I mean, one or the other has to have final say so on a matter of this sort I'd think. Or it could be one of those deals where the prez can suspend but then the board can overturn?

From the same guy

Important to keep in mind Drake works for the BoT ... and not the other way around.
— Dave Biddle (@davebiddle) August 22, 2018

It's not really Drake's decision. That was just falsely reported for the last 3 weeks. He works for the board. It's really their decision. So, if it comes down to Drake v the BoT, the board will win. https://t.co/20CM95wfvA
— Dave Biddle (@davebiddle) August 22, 2018

Because you don't want the board and the university prez at odds publicly; it doesn't look good. They're trying to get on the same page, but Drake is being stubborn about it from what I've been told. https://t.co/RmbpclOkKQ
— Dave Biddle (@davebiddle) August 22, 2018

ALSO, he just tweeted this

You don't get it. Meyer is not saying "You can't fire me." They can absolutely fire him right now. He's saying "I will not accept a suspension" (my words via sources). Either fire me, or reinstate me immediately. Big difference from what you portrayed. https://t.co/NIWjRdSody

Ksyrup This guy has posted so much, his fingers are about to fall off.

Ksyrup This guy has posted so much, his fingers are about to fall off. Join Date: Nov 2000 Location: In Absentia	This is kinda bizarre... Trustee @ClarkKelloggCBS just came out to get a book he wants to read. He said it's a "Good robust discussion and progress is being made." Kellogg said Urban Meyer has not been in the room with trustees during discussions. — Lucas Sullivan (@DispatchSully) August 22, 2018 Why even say something like that? __________________ M's pitcher Miguel Batista: "Now, I feel like I've had everything.

If he wants to sit in the back and read, I'm sure that's fine with the people making the decisions. __________________ To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.. - Mr. Rogers

Scoobz0202 Pro Rookie Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Dayton, Ohio	CliffsNotes version (from what I've been told): Ohio State's BoT wants to reinstate Urban Meyer immediately. University president Michael Drake is balking at that; wants Meyer to serve a suspension. Meyer refuses to serve suspension since he thinks he did nothing wrong. #Buckeyes — Dave Biddle (@davebiddle) August 22, 2018 Last edited by Scoobz0202 : 08-22-2018 at 04:06 PM.

Or it could be one of those deals where the prez can suspend but then the board can overturn? __________________ "I lit another cigarette.
