I live in Valdosta GA. In early 2013 a young student was found dead in a rolled up gym mat on campus at the county High school. Police investigations by county, city, Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the FBI all turned up nothing. His understandably distraught family sat a vigil outside the county court house for a year plus demanding justice. Subsequent amateur investigations turned up some weird stuff. The body had been stuffed with newspaper post autopsy and an independent investigation revealed blunt force trauma to the base of the neck. Last week five members of the family were found guilty of obstruction or some similar charge but the sentence was suspended by a judge attempting to balance the rule of law and its integrity with not destroying an already believed family. By this point you are wondering what this has to do with college football. I'll explain: yesterday a senior standout football player from the school had his football scholarship to Free Shoes University (45 min away) pulled because he and several of his friends were named in a civil lawsuit by the be bereaved family. I have zero knowledge of this kid or how he is related to the case because he was literally never named a person of interest at any point in the actual police investigations (to my knowledge anyway). From what I gathered his being named is based on hearsay in the amateur investigations.
Now listen, if he is guilty and somehow it has been an extremely well covered up conspiracy (dudes this has been a two yrs circus I don't know how it could be missed if he had anything to do with it), than I hope he rots for life. But if this is groundless and the suit goes nowhere, this family has literally ruined this young man's life and cost him a $125k education and experiences that are so rare as to be considered unique. That is irreparable harm. If that is the case than I don't know what to say to the family driving this man. Shitty deal all the way around and unfortunately it does not appear anywhere close to an end.

You live in Valdosta?? And your AF? Well I know where you were stationed. I was attached to the 69th there in that really tall tower also until 94 when I got shipped down to Tyndall. Valdosta High still a juggernaut or is Lowndes the ones in charge now?

Devil's advocate here: so Patrino is the only coach in all FBS or FCS history to have ever recinded a scholarship because he needed players in a different position and is limited byacholarships? He could have called the kid himself but he didn't. Patrino has a bad past and in my opinion he is a terd. But do we really need to trash everything he does?

Like you said his past brought this on him, also doing it so close to signing day. Had he done it 3 or 4 months ago that would be one thing, but with his past, that was just an explosion.

Like others have said his past plays partly into it. They really shitty part though is doing it when he did. Schools are full up on scholarships for the year then he pulls this crap. Kinda looks to me like he did it when he did it just to keep the kid around by limiting his options, hence the whole "why don't you greyshirt" thing.

Geez, what a shitty way to do business. Fortunately, it sounds as though he is getting other options made available to him, even if it isn't ideal. Also, how did they not recruit enough DBs to cover any losses to the draft? You have so many scholarships to hand out. You know some guys would have graduated soon enough, even if no one declared for the draft.

I liked Uncle Lou on game day final. But to be honest, it was getting old and they were completely staging his "heat" with Mark May. I hope he lands on his feet...just thought about something just now....Lou and Finebaum....you know they are going to do it
