“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

The question isn’t about “importance” it’s about ethics and fairness. It is arguable that a University president’s job is to put the best, most qualified graduates in society that it can find.

At the end of the day the question is about how you treat other people:
Do you fire an employee because a new person might be marginally better?
Do you get a divorce because you’ve found someone slightly better looking?

Derek I apologize for the name calling it’s uncalled for. I see the scholarship as a business agreement. UGA gives them the opportunity to get an education in their chosen field and get some other perks as well.

I was drafting when you posted this. All I can say is that when you sit down with a kid at mom and dads house and promise to take care of the kid as your own, you don’t bust him to the curb because you’ve signed better players at his position. CMR gave tony Milton a scholly when he was living out if his car. Not a great player but he contributed some. Had we signed a Todd Gurley, a Nick Chubb and a Knowshon during his eligibility he may never have played. Are you gong to send him back to live in the car? I wouldn’t. I think that’s wrong. If tony can’t play that’s on the coach. Maybe he shouldn’t have gotten the scholly in the first place, but once extended there’s an obligation to the kid period.

In Milton’s case that’s all on CMR he extended a scholarship to a kid that wasn’t going to contribute very much, as noble of a gesture as it may have been it didn’t help the University win games. I want UGA to win championships and not hand out charity scholarships.

And Derek, who I’ve disagreed with sometimes, is being misunderstood here, although I think he’s made himself clear…He was responding (initially) to Biggens statement that he enjoys seeing them lose their scholarship “if they aren’t good enough to start”. I guess we only need 22 players and a kicker with that formula…but I understood what he meant..if they aren’t good enough to play..That’s what Derek was attacking and rightfully so..it’s stupid. If you start doing that there will be a backlash from High School coaches and counselors who actually care about the kid they’ve mentored…they’ll steer him somewhere else..So besides being just plain unsavory, the practice of booting kids for lower than expected skills and performance would eventually be counter-productive.

There is nothing in the scholarship agreement that conditions it on a player performing at a certain level. It does require the player to perform academically and follow team rules. You are advocating the coach unilaterally imposing conditions that are not in the scholarship and were expressly disavowed when the coach was negotiating in the parents’ living room.

I’ve got no beef with your urge to explore that sentence in the first comment, but, your analogy isn’t sitting well with me because of one thing. Kirbys boss is paying him a large salary to win football. The job Kirby accepted has much more of a pass/fail, cut throat, hard ball set of decisions. The money, power, and branding all make the “sorry kid, you’re being cut” situation likely.

I could be wrong, but I am under the impression that the kids are not having their scholarships pulled; I am pretty sure that they are just being informed that they are buried in the depth chart and that their chances at playing time is very small. If playing time is important to you, you may want to transfer to a more favorable depth chart. Some stay (ex Ryne Rankin) some leave (a lot of others).

I don’t know what the unintended consequences would be, but I think all schollys should be 4 year agreements…with only active team members counted towards the 85 limit. If you keep a certain GPA you can finish college regardless of your sports career. As was noted, it’s not like the university is going to suffer from a few dozen extra students….and that leaves both parties some flexibility.
Also, if your kicked off the team there should be no restrictions on transfer or waiting period unless its due to a criminal offense or violation of team rules. Then you wait….just to keep that future Auburn graduate from robbing a liquor store so he can move to the plains.

I have zero problem cutting kids. There is not a single competitive sport that guarantees your spot on the team for 4 years outside of college athletics. There is a reason that scholarships are/were(?) year to year. Johnny is not the player we believed him to be? Bye Felica. Move up or move out. Not a difficult concept. Playing a college sport is not a right. You have to earn that privilege and then continue to prove that you belong on the team.

the problem I have with the type of cutting you talk about is how limited the options are for the kids after they are cut.
If a player who was cut from UGA could find an opportunity @ Tech, Florida, or even Southern and play and contribute the next season, then the cutting becomes easier to take.
But now when you cut a kid from your program you also just took away one of his years to play college ball and that seems too much for me.

Well said, DP. When USC medically disqualified Jarvis Jones and he came to Georgia and had to sit, that was totally unfair to him and to Georgia.

One example: Did we really do a kid like WR Terry or OT Benedict a favor by honoring their schollys after they were seriously injured before entering school? It’s the ‘feel good’ story of the year, but didn’t help us win one game. And both those players ended up leaving.
Hey, separations suck – especially for a young kid with a fragile ego. Are we doing them favors by coddling them? They are expected to maintain grades, compete on the field, and act appropriately off field. When they don’t, I’m not sure what keeping them on the roster accomplishes.

It is not the NFL yet. Close, but not yet.
That being said, if I were a coach, I would be using the best players I could find. If it meant letting some go, I would do it, but they would be able to finish somewhere(here or there) on a scholarship of some type. Otherwise, you would be killed on the recruiting trail.

You know there’s a reason kid’s have to qualify academically to go to the school in the first place. They are (try not to laugh out lout) supposed to be students first..UGA’s charter probably mentions the actual reason for it’s existence and I doubt it’s football. So if you dismiss a kid for academic reasons, that’s reasonable because he is failing in accomplishing what the school has given him a seat in the classroom to do. It’s an Institution of Higher Learning. It the kid is poor, and many of the athletes are, and you pull his scholarship for poor on-field performance, you have effectively caused him to transfer to a different school, thus hurting him socially, academically, financially, emotionally and probably a lot of other “ly”s that I haven’t though of. As long as he’s really trying…keepiing the rules…and seriously pursuing a degree…it’s wrong..it’s very wrong…to make his performance on the field the primary reason he is enrolled.

First off, unless you know a kid or his family personally, you don’t really know exactly WHY they’re leaving, and it’s better for everyone involved not to air their dirty laundry in public. So all the talk about “fairness” and “processing” and “sausage-making” is just hot fucking air. Unless you have actual hard information, the way you see situations like this will depend solely on your own pre-conceived views of the coaching staff and the narrative that you have chosen to attach to them.
Secondly, let’s step back for a second and realize that these kids are PLAYERS. They want to be on the field actually PLAYING FOOTBALL. If it becomes clear that a young man is never going to see the field, why in the world is it considered “unethical” to not be truthful and tell him that he’d have better opportunities elsewhere?!? Too many people in our society get smoke blown up their ass by their friends and parents telling them how great they are, which is a disservice to THEM. It’s far more valuable to people to give them an honest assessment of their status.
Third, it’s not like these kids end up on the street homeless if they no longer play for Georgia. I would venture to say that any player recruited by us is good enough to find a scholarship available SOMEWHERE, even if it’s not at the highest level. If anybody has any actual EVIDENCE to the contrary, showing that leaving a big-time football program ruins people’s lives, then I would be interested to see it. Otherwise, you’re all just pissing in the wind.
