So Tee Shepard's late night flip was a Trojan Horse sent by Dan Mullen to help bring down the false prophet. What a stroke of genius by Dan the Man!

I was told his family does/did have a role in the page and it has their support. Further, if certain concessions weren't made (whatever the hell they are, I have no idea), they would consider legal recourse. Long story short, the Shepard family isn't going peacefully in to the night.

It is unbelievable that anyone could do this to a guy who has dedicated his life to football and a university.

Snake charmers eventually get bit.

I'm sorry but let's review. He went to Notre Dame. Left because he wanted to be close to home. Flirted with Fresno State, then USC but decided to go JuCo. He commited to us then flipped last minute to go to our rival. Now he leaves a program with both sides saying different things as to why he left. I hate being devil's advocate and all, but his actions don't exactly fit that of a guy that commits to anything.

Apparently he committed to his studies in juco. He took a huge course load to qualify

I do agree that there is something to everything you just said. I'm sure he and his family is pissed he's not starting but what can they really do?

Once again, if Freeze has just kept his mouth shut with the whole not being able to hear at away games non sense, this would be done getting talked about.

Word is tee is back on the team. I guess that was a concession. Just sucks for Ordway since they burned his shirt 6 games in after Tee bolted.

I don't know the inner workings of any of this. But, I'd say this rings more true than anything else.

Not the first time this year Freeze has gone out of his way to piss off someone he really shouldn't want to piss off.

So if Tee gets back on the team, is he still a locker room cancer and a no good quitter? Or is he back to being misunderstood but a really good kid at heart? Questions that only the enlightened souls of NAFOOM and the spirit could answer...

I just don't see it. Being deaf is about the only disability where more players with the required athletic ability could play if coaches knew more about how to accommodate them. There's just not very many deaf people with the athletic ability to clearly belong in college athletics.

Pretty much every other disability is going to be tied too directly to performance in the sport. Obviously not very many sports blind people can play. Any ability that affects physical performance will basically be a no go. Are athletes that can't lean a playbook going to claim it's because of a learning disability and that nto playing them is discrimination? Or not providing a full time tutor to teach them the playbook is not accommodating them (I imagine that most coaches would be happy to have an athletic trainer spend 40 hours a week teaching a blue chip athlete the playbook if they thought it would help). At worst this is going to be a potential problem for sports where the majority of the competition regards coordination rather than raw athletic ability. You'll get stupid claims where disable people argue that an athletic component of the sport shouldn't really be part of the sport (like the golfer arguing that the PGA shouldn't be allowed to decide that walking the course was part of the competition), but for the most part they won't be in sports people care about.

I guess it will get worse as prosthetics get better and more amputees can compete with assistance, and then you will have the argument over at what point assistance is removing a disability and at what point assistance is providing an advantage.

I hope there is less discrimination in athletics as the years continue. Some can resist the progress and cry about how its PC. Meanwhile, hopefully the large majority is accepting of less emotional taunting and embraces compassion and empathy when working with others who aren't the same.

I know the situations were different but for a comparison, how many people even knew that Matt Wells could hardly see in one eye? No excuses were made by our staff, we worked with the player and developed him even with a handicap. And most of our fans were none the wiser. Obviously we didn't have any character issues to deal with from the player but our staff also never once used his handicap for any type of excuse.
