It sounds like Tom Mars isn’t going scorched earth (at least not publicly) with the University of Georgia over Cade Mays’ transfer waiver request after all ($$).
“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. In fact, the decision to remain quiet about this is a very principled decision. It’s not one that’s necessarily to the advantage of Cade Mays or his family. It’s one that’s the appropriate approach and an approach that’s respectful toward Georgia.
“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. The decision to not talk about it is not only a decision that reflects the privacy every student-athlete has, it’s also a decision that reflects respect for the process and for UGA. If UGA wanted to try this case in the press, I’d be happy to. But I don’t think they want to. And therefore, I don’t have any desire to.”
For what it’s worth, he says daddy’s folding chair lawsuit is not a factor in the waiver request.

I don’t think a single person resents the Mays transfer to Tennessee. If he wants to go home, see you in a couple of years after sitting out like Luke Ford did. Everyone resents his appeal to become immediately eligible. I hope our guys and our fans make his life miserable if he plays in Athens next year.

I agree with Mars about one thing: Every athlete should get a one-time free transfer without sitting out. Stop the shell game.

So that sounds like he’s saying whatever reason he has is really, really bad but he can’t tell us because it might offend our delicate sensibilities. Why not just say it’s on double secret probation? That would be less ridiculous.

I was about to make a very similar comment before I got to your reply. As a small business owner, my partners and I bend over backwards to accommodate our employees. From not penalizing paid vacation for injuries or extended sickness to eating the ridiculous increases in health insurance premiums, it is regularly things that take money out of our pockets. But it seems like someone is always upset about something and it is our fault.

Or, he ain’t got shit. But then he needs to bait UGA into as many comments as possible so he can then interpret those as creating a sort of “hostile work environment” flowing from the lawsuit etc., a tainted environment that young Cade had no choice but to leave.
UGA could maybe call his bluff on that and just lay his strategy bare in the press… “we love cade, our compliance and outside lawyers are dealing with the suit, but it has absolutely zero effect on how we feel about the Mays family around Butts Mehre or campus. They have been and remained as welcome as they were on the day we met them. Whatever the NCAA determines is fine with us, but fact patterns established exclusively by Mr. Mars that have no bearing on reality should not be accepted at face value… particularly given the inherent conflict of interest that exists between his alternating positions of representing and being adverse to what should be a neutral institutional decision maker.”
