Oh I'm not saying he's really affected, just that it definitely can be argued he was. Fields and Tate likely transferred for the exact same reason, it's just which cover they use to argue and Tate has a much better chance with what transpired at taint. That's all

Exactly and they can even go as far as having counselors, etc provide statements. That's not something to play with if they really went that route

I'm simply saying a case can be made, the coaches actions clearly effected the team. We all also know that's the reason Urban "retired" and yes, that situation can easily be portrayed as damaging to the psyche of Martell. Obviously it would have to be petitioned by his lawyer but if he wanted to...

That's an easy case to make if his lawyer is any good, especially with the public already knowing how close he is with his sister and mother

He can claim they created a toxic environment and more importantly, if he does have knowledge of things that happened behind closed doors, which I would think he does, that is the key

And this is exactly what I think Tate's lawyer is doing with the domestic violence issue. They can disguise it with whatever cover they want but Tate was inside that program for 2 years and I'm willing to bet he knows things they don't want public.

Not even mentioning the wife beater, suspension and subsequent "retirement" of his head coach who hand picked him for his offense. Every coach who recruited him is now gone and most as a result of a very hostile environment, Tate's case is a thousand percent better than Fields'.

I don't know what else he could have used but always felt the race thing was extremely weak. Either way it makes me wonder how he got approved in a month.

Fields' lawyer stated that they didn't use the racial incident for his waiver. He didn't say what they did use but was adamant that it had nothing to do with that.

Manny and Blake have already commented that they expected a decision by now. One was on Joe Rose and the other I think the Herald. After that, they said they expect a decision soon. Seems as they're already starting to poke the bear.
