Real Talk-Can Richt run a clean program?

Advertisement
Your level of arrests and thugs is in direct proportion to win total.

Hopefully we're on the police scanner early and often.
 
Cannot believe Fl. and Fl. State are so far ahead of us...We've got a lot of catching up to do, but I suppose it explains the loss to Wash. State..
 
They can start arresting our players DURING the games as long as we are winning games and titles.


Edit: Typos.

They only arrest the players that don't matter in those cities...

Thought this was going to be about PEDs or recruiting/ncaa not legal troubles of players.

He is going to need some luck keeping kids available if he brings thugs. Academics, drug use, legal troubles... He has to win 10+ to get the leeway needed.
 
I have no stats to back this up, but I feel like teams in college towns tend to have higher arrests. There's less **** to do, fewer places to go, and higher scrutiny for a 6'4" 250 lb black dude in a sea of pasty white people.

When we were dominant 15 years ago (SMFH), we didn't have 40 dudes getting arrested. Same with SC under Pete Carroll.
 
Well, those numbers are skewes. Its not like police are even touching a FB player in mississippi, alabama, tallahassee, south carolina etc. Those kids are stars in those podunk areas. You would have to be pretty **** out there to get caught. Its like cops do not even exist in Tuscaloosa..lol Those big time programs do a great job of keeping things quiet.

I don't care if we double the highest school is CFB as long as we have another 5* to replace the one that got arrested! LOL
 
Mark Richt has absolutely no choice but to run a clean program. First and foremost, we have no friends with the NCAA. The Nevin Shapiro case was a complete manufactured disgrace from the word go. Miami and USC are constantly harassed by the NCAA for one good reason. The two areas are the main recruiting areas for the nation. It makes perfect sense to allow the SEC to recruit freely in South Florida and it also allows the same for the Los Angeles area.

Take for example Kentucky. Is there are question whatsoever that Joe Craft and the K Fund don't bring in top talent yearly from all across the country ? Is Kentucky so elite that they can pull the top kids from everywhere ? Alabama football has been dirty forever. Here in Houston, LSU comes in with their bags of money and a schedule for when the drug testing takes place so their kids aren't popped.

In short, it's not a level playing field and if Miami pulled a Kentucky or Alabama, we would be the SMU Mustangs and thrown off the highest mountain
 
He's going to have to figure that piece out. At UM, players are getting nowhere near the deference they get in Athens so you take the same kids and put them here and his stats on that would be horrific. Will not fly here, and will bear watching. As far as the NCAA, squeaky clean as far as I know. Same deal though, needs to understand that he'll be under a microscope. It's now in the NCAA Charter to bury the U.

3rd most arrests over the last 5 years-behind UF and Washington state. 22 guys in 5 years... (Over the same time period Miami had only 7)

Could this ever become an issue at Miami?

Well, not an issue I give a rat's *** about right now, though I guess a fair question?

I guess schools like UF, Alabama, F$U and Ohio Taint with scores of such issues should also be considered.

I want a program that is respected, but it is a distant second to one that is successful. Why? Pretty simple...the media, the NCAA and pretty much the rest of college football have demonstrated that regardless of how clean a program we run or how bad we suck....we are hated regardless.

Personally, if that is always going to be the case...I would rather win than worry about Richt having the most unblemished off the field player record.

I can't speak for programs outside the state but I know in po-dunk Gainesville, the football players are treated like gods. You'd have to murder someone to get arrested there. Oooops...scratch that. Hernandez. We all saw how far backwards the Tallahassee police department was willing to bend to keep Jameis and Dalvin out of jail. These guys have free reign to literally rape and pillage the areas around campus.

In Miami, you're just another dude. I'd venture to say that outside of maybe Kaaya, the cops here wouldn't give any players so much as a break on a speeding ticket.

Maybe, but Florida had a ton of arrests under Urban Meyer.
