Donating to NIL gives you zero rights to know this kind of information. It’s weird to be so obsessive about it.

Its obsessive to want to know if our top rated recruit is practicing? Lmao y'all the ones actually trippin. Zero rights to know.... And if the media actually reported it would you consider that a violation? I'd consider it good reporting ...

You asked two questions:

1. Is he practicing? No. That has been answered definitively.
2. If the media reported it, would it be a violation? No it would not be, but what do you mean - Violation of what? Some code to privacy that doesn’t exist?

The media has not given the reason(s) why. Most assume because Mario and the rest haven’t told anyone or if they did, it was agreed to not say/print anything. The answer the media has given us is that it’s “personal.” Therefore, the media has reported to you the what - Dude missing practice, The Who - Hayden, and the why - it’s personal. You seem to be unsatisfied with that. That’s on you.

You ever knock up a chick and take her to the clinic? Helped a friend who did? Break up with a girl? Had your heart broken? Lost a loved one? Had a family member commit a heinous crime?

Would you like it if the media dug for all the details as to what happened because some internet person named OregonNative really, really, really wanted to know?? Even if they felt obligated and entitled to know because Oregon is a neighbor of Cali?

One more example. There’s a somewhat new thing now called rage baiting (pardon my Gen X *** for butchering some of these terms - laugh away) where a dude or two with cameras “exercise their 1st amendment rights” and film people reacting to asinine and insulting commentary, hoping to catch someone hitting them. Is it illegal to do this for likes and clicks? No. However, it comes with a high likelihood that eventually someone will punch you in the face. Or shoot you. Why? Because they’re acting like azzholes.

I’m not taking a position in this “right to know” vs “keep it private” argument, however,

As a friend of mine who used to be a judge loved to say from the bench, “counselor, let me change the facts a bit and tell me if this changes your argument”.

If Lowe was in the NFL, would you feel you have a ‘right to know’? The usual refrain to that question has been, well there is a difference between a pro and college athlete. But NIL has not just blurred that line but has obliterated that line. Many college players make more money than their pro counterparts.

I am at a point wherein my position on any such pro v college issue is that I have a right to know as much as I want for any paid athlete, whether pro, college, Olympic, etc…Once you are paid you are not an amateur and I won’t treat you like a “kid”. Now I really don’t care about Lowe’s personal life anymore than I care about pro athletes personal lives. So I don’t care to know what is happening as I choose to only care about those young men actually playing for UM. But the college v pro distinction is completely gone at least for me.

Yes and just to add to that, their actual personal life especially if nothing illegal, I am not saying is what matters. Their ON-FIELD impacts are the information I think should be shared. Its been incredibly vague. We literally have no idea if he is even practicing or not. Is he currently even with the team? Like all we know is he wasn't at the spring game I guess... Is he on campus? Was him not participating the teams/coaches decision or his? **** like that specifically regarding the team and his performance should absolutely be reported on. People saying that should be private imo are truly trippin. I haven't been saying I want to know the intimate details of what he actually did off the field (as long as legal) at is putting him in the doghouse. I think knowing what being in the doghouse entails or what his on field/performance did to put him in the doghouse IS relevant though.

Wasn't it well known that he attended practices but didn't participate?

.... No cause nothing is being reported other than "personal matter"....

I thought I remembered Dmoney and some other podcasters/posters saying he was out there and a part of the team, but just not participating. Maybe that was their way of avoiding the subject

I am basically telling you without getting his personal business posted. What I know is not an educated guess.
I'm not really sure why everyone feels the need to know something that Mario and everyone else has deemed personal issues. What are your personal issues that you would like to share with the class?
I'm not trying to be a jerk to you, it's just the same question over and over by so many here and on the YouTube show becomes exhausting to view. Just be patient and see if he works it out or otherwise don't count on him on the field if he doesn't. He is getting second chances right now because of how talented he is, otherwise they would move on from him at this point.

So what did he do?

We can't know it's "against the law to divulge those specifics" without knowing the specifics.

Off the top of my head, things that would be illegal (or even actionable) to report on would be health/medical information protected by HIPPA, certain academic information protected by FERPA, if he was the victim of a sexual assault (rape shield laws), sexually explicit material, recordings make without his knowledge, private information that was stolen (think of a data breach / hacking situation), or certain (very limited) sensitive personal information (things like bank account numbers and phone numbers). Most other stuff is fair game, especially now that he's somewhere on the "public figure" spectrum via profiting off his name, image, and likeness (so he torts like invasion of privacy that may pass for common folks may not apply to him).

If he spent all of his money on blow and hookers, divulging that fact would not be against the law.
If he got into a car accident being a knucklehead, divulging that fact would not be against the law.
If he violated some team rule, divulging that fact would not be against the law.
If he's homesick and wants to go back home, divulging that fact would not be against the law.
If he missed practices and team meetings without prior approval, divulging that fact would not be against the law.

There's certainly reasons not to divulge some of that above. "The law" is not among them.

Yeah, I saw that post and thought immediately about HIPPA because that’s protected but like you said, a lot of other stuff isn’t so I think the point was a potential overreach though I get why the HC doesn’t want to put dirty laundry out in public but that’s a management decision not necessarily a legal one.
 
I’m with @AtlAtty and @No_Fly_Zone on this. I think money earning college athletes are essentially pros and should be treated as such. I also don’t believe fans are entitled to know everything so it comes down to what each organization chooses to release to the public and I’m fine with it either way.
