Al Golden trying to force the juniors to stay?

[F-MarioCristobal]

I've seen the same thing from Saban and Urban Meyer. It's not talking about now, but they punish players if they talk to agents before the season is actually over.

 

[Caneatty]

Don't most Universities have a similar policy? Saben's a good coach right? He is a freak about keeping the players away from agents. Nothing here. Bump dis thread.

There is a policy in place. The policy is ridiculous, but Golden didn't create it, and the excerpt above does not explain it. I assume for the moment that the school is only attempting to enforce its written rule. If it is going beyond the over the top rule, then all players should probably just quit the team.

"University of Miami football student-athletes, their parents, or representatives are not permitted to speak to Covered Individuals until the student-athlete has exhausted his eligibility. There is an exception to this rule if the student-athlete requests to speak to an agent and the athletic department coordinates and participates in the meeting that will take place in UM athletic facilities."

Was t Dukes mom speaking to rosenhouse at Pitt game though?

I think they can't accept benefits from an agent or agree to representation, but I believe they can meet with them and still retain their amateur status.

Dapper, that correct?

You are correct that players can meet with agents and have discussion, yet still retain eligibility. UM's rule goes way beyond NCAA requirements. UM will sanction a player for failing to get permission from UM before meeting with an agent and/or failing to meet with an agent in a manner that is acceptable to UM (which normally requires that UM admins or coaches participate in, or chaperone, said meeting).

Wow that is absurd. No wonder our kids are so undervalued at draft time: they lose out on that extra hype time that agents spin.

This school is so drastically different from the one I attended, it makes me ill.

This isn't that big of a deal on surface value alone. But when you combine this with the report from last week where Golden places some of the blame for losing on the Admin for allowing players to meet with agents the week of the Pitt game, it just seems like another chance for the excuse machine to churn out more garbage. You guys really think that if Saban's team were sitting at 6-5, that he would be so aghast at players meeting with agents the week before their last game? Last year the guy ******* called a BCS bowl a ******* consolation prize that his team didn't give a **** about because it wasn't the NC game. I wouldn't be surprised if he were telling guys to leave school, so he could replace them with a bunch of 5 stars who didn't **** the bed like a bunch of pussies. Al Golden cries about it and thinks it's part of the reason for losing to a ****** Pitt team, that and all those night games.

Why don't some of you move on. Every coach who has ever been here has told his juniors the same thing. Golden is the coach for next year. I lean towards that not being a good thing but It is what it is. to continue to criticize very move this guy makes is just nonsense.

This makes no sense. Agents are walking around hyping up kids they aren't allowed to sign yet or even engage in any kind of business discussion or agreement?

Careful not to pull a muscle reaching so far.

You really should stop posting. You're completely discredited. Nobody cares about anything you have to say.

 

[callmetrip]

Well if he wants to play in the bowl game then this makes sense, he would be deemed ineligible if he were to talk to an agent before then. Afterwards he can tell AG to go suck a fat ****

Why...as if that would be be punative. I'm guessing Al and Marc enjoy that sort of thing, not judging, just guessing.

So, in other words, ALfraud is going above and beyond that.

I don't believe Al had anything to do with the rule. It was a reaction to Shapiro (remember, he had an athlete agent firm). It's over the top, and it's not necessary, but it was included in the COI Public Infractions Report as a "corrective action" taken by UM, so one could argue that the policy helped mitigate sanctions UM got. Not saying it's a valid argument (especially at this point), but that's the reason the policy was instituted. It applies to football and basketball players.

Duke's mom's discussion with Drew Rosenhaus at the Pitt game probably violated the policy. Will UM suspend Duke for the bowl?

Not saying Golden had anything to do with the rule, I'm saying that it sounds like he's going beyond it by not agreeing to meetings and telling players not to ask for meetings.
