Instead, coach Ron Prince simply refused to pay for Webb's summer-school expenses because the 6-foot-3 quarterback failed to meet previous academic obligations and adhere to athletic department policies.

Webb, a social science major, didn't attend summer school at K-State and spent much of the past two months in his hometown of Denver.
Weiser said K-State officials consider that a "privilege," ostensibly extended to those who are excelling in the classroom.
Universities aren't required to provide student-athletes with financial assistance for summer school, however.

Chum,
If I had an issue with anything - and I don't, because I'm not a fan or a critic, really - it would be in how he's "nudging" people toward the door. I agree with you in that he has every right. I guess I wonder about the consistency of his methods. There are some younger players who are getting away with things that Webb is being "nudged" out for.
Thanks, Rusty. I've bit my tongue for so long on this, but it's ridiculous. Summer school is ALWAYS part of the deal in a scholarship. So, when Prince says he simply refused to pay for Webb's summer school, what does that tell you?
To imply that Webb is being treated unfairly without facts from Prince's point of view, which will never be, nor should be forthcoming, is simply irresponsible in my opinion.
I'd like to know how many players on scholarship this fall received aid for summer classes.Incoming freshman have to pay, their scholarships don't start until the Fall semester.
Do incoming freshmen pay for summer school if they attend?

Why is that any more irresponsible than to imply that Prince treated Webb fairly? There are two sides of the story and facts to support both.

Did Cartier Martin pay for summer school this year?

Apples and Oranges.
Each situation will be different, player with great grades vs. ones who need the summer school to catch up, etc...I think it was past history and off the field components that led to this, not to mention not partcipating in all spring workouts.

So Weiser is going to flat out lie?

In other words, there are different rules for different players.
Bslimz and Rusty......
Why are you both such negative Nancy's when it comes to our football program ??

Hardly, multiple problems...ever heard the phrase "straw that broke the camel's back"? Or the "three strikes, you're out"? :violin:
If Prince wins, none of us will care about crap like this.

I don't like what I see.
Do you honestly think losing Webb is the best thing for this team?

Interesting that Colorado State will pay for incoming freshman to go to summer school and we won't.

Probably true.
I didn't like the way the Marcus Raines thing was handled, though.

no because it was taybron and taybron sucks
Allen was talking transfer long before Huggs got a chance to "nudge him out".QuoteQuote
Sound familiar? Same name and everything... :tongue:
Who cares. It's done. This topic is dead.
Who cares. It's done. This topic is dead.
:banghead: The reason I care is b/c all the f*ckers who were all "Prince is a d*ck, he's scewing Webb" where are they now? :confused: Its BS to call out the coach who, by most accounts, is just cutting some dead weight from the program. If I recall Webb hasn't been on a team with a winning season...
I'm done. :forked:

I honestly don't give two @#%$s about Webb, I just think this needlessly hurts the football team.
Okay.. So no that we all have our opinions in... They won't mean jack Schmidt when the season actually starts. If we win... non of this will matter. If we don't win... It still won't matter because we got rid of a ONE player that probably wasn't going to see the field anyway due to being in the dog house with coaching staff. 'nuff said.

I hate to break it to you, but ultimately, none of your 227 posts here mean "jack Schmidt." None of my 758 posts mean jack Scmidt either. Message boards don't matter. They exist to speculate and to share your opinions.
