The ninja cans gregg goff..

[8dog]

For doing what every coach in america does. Just doing it in the wrong manner

 

[57stratdawg]

Cliffs?

 

[8dog]

Goff told many returning players their scholarships weren't guaranteed. Apparently thats actually a violation of rules even though coach cut kids all the time

 

[MSUDC11]

He told 10 players he was revoking their scholarships for next year, which is an NCAA violation. Parents threw a fit and now he's gone.

For those that know how things work better than I, what is the difference in this and what SEC football coaches often do?

 

[8dog]

As kendall rogers noted its done all the time. You usually just tell a kid he wont ever play and they leave on their own

 

[coach66]

Could it be the Ninja was looking for an excuse and found it?

[8dog]

I think so. There is also a poster on another board that said he had mishandled lots of other things

 

[JungRebel]

Aren't scholarships renewed every year and can't players be taken off scholarship? Why is this a violation?

 

[patdog]

How is that a violation? Happens all the time in their football program. I guess Saban will be next on the chopping block. Or maybe it has more to do with finishing DFL than cutting dead weight.

 

[KingBarkus]

I wonder if Byrne will go after his former baseball coach at Arizona? Btw, I don't see anything wrong with Goff's actions.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Saban just offers a Grey Shirt to his....

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Aren't scholarships renewed every year and can't players be taken off scholarship? Why is this a violation?

That's what I'm wondering. If scholarships are awarded year to year, how is this against the rules?

 

[aTotal360]

I bet Byrne stays as far away from Arizona as humanly possible. #civilsuit

Didn't realize that the Ninja was being sued.

I like how the Track Coach's defense is:

"But did you see them nudes?"

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I guess this is possibly a logical response

You guys don't know the full picture. There are allegations of misappropriating program funds, academic fraud while he was at Campbell, several high school coaches already saying he is not welcome on their campus, top recruits decommitting, attempting to violate NCAA rules after being told not to, actively shunning former players, the list is long. Nobody gives a crap his first year record stunk. Everyone was ok with that. It was how he handled himself and the program off the diamond. He's a program killer plain and simple. We had to stop the bleeding, so Byrne did what he had to do. Good call imho.

That's not a good look for a ninja

Sounds like Hevesy...does he say the "F Word" a lot in front of recruits Mama's?

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

Apparently he told them to buzz off too soon

"According to NCAA bylaw 15.3.4.3.1, which was revised three years ago, "an institution may not set forth an athletically related condition (e.g., financial aid contingent upon specified performance or playing a specific position) that would permit the institution to reduce or cancel the student-athlete's financial aid during the period of the award if the conditions are not satisfied."
