While in compliance with the letter of the NCAA bylaw, Oderinde is among a handful of those coaches who, experts say, are underqualified. But there's really nothing new there that already hasn't been hashed out..... BUT, what triggered that article was this one by CBS Sports.... and it's mind blowing where they went for the first comments on the subject and if there's a stronger synonym for ironic it needs to be used to described this gem: “They [Oregon] got away with it because none of them [the players] died,” said Hoffman, also chair of UCF’s Education and Human Sciences Department. I guess, though, if there's any place that would know about getting away with something involving this subject, it would them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Hoffman, how did George O'Leary get away with it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about S&C which is about more than weights. Second- if you're going to lead with the dinosaur-era reptile that inhabits our beloved state in your SN, and relegate the Bulls to second-class citizen status, please, respectfully, STFU with any supposed defense of UCF, and maybe even of Oregon for that matter, on this Bulls board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people want to be mad, be mad at the protections provided by the sovereign immunity provision and the like. Any school would have sought the same protections, including us. When families are actually able to collect 10s of millions of dollars from a university, things will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not defending UCF, maybe Oregon, I still have love for Taggart. But let's go back to the "Voluntary" part of this workout. Nobody forced these guys to kill themselves. They probably were too eager to impress and hid their pain pretty well. If a workout without using weights puts you in the hospital then they probably was out of shape to begin with. As for Bulls coming after the Gator part, Im a UF Graduate, gotta show love to my Gators first....even though Im obsessed with the Bulls lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
