Title: Fining Players
Post by: AppleJack on August 27, 2015, 02:24:49 PM

I've created this thread so people smarter than me (not in real life obvs) can discuss the merits of fining college football players. Thank you

without knowing anything about it or having any opinion whatsoever, I've decided to staunchly support fining players.

Anti fine.

This is a coward way of coaching them, punishing them, and still playing whoever is best regardless of what the off field crap is.  That is, unless some coach is going to not play ppl with outstanding fines.  If that is the case, just do what most coaches do now and with hold playing time without the stupid fine bullshit. 

Also, it is basically against regs for any of these kids to earn an income of any type outside something like 8 weeks a year.

This would be a good way for a school to leverage the sports they aren't good at: just recruit rich kids with no discipline and fund your programs.

Because I don't really like fining college kids with the little money that they have, I would support adding a zero at the end of every number and making the punishment be burpees or gassers.

I think it would be pushups for Bill.

I did lunge triangles around a baseball field for hours before practice even started. Fining players is so ridiculous, I can't imagine them actually paying.

the CFB players won't have to come up with the "straight cash, homey" like in the NFL but likely have it deducted right out of the monthly stipend check.

I'm just here so I won't get fined.

Ugh, what horse crap. And why is the highest fine for a penalty on the field? Nice priorities. I hate Virginia Tech, always have.

also like how a teacher reporting being disruptive in class is half the fine of just straight up missing.

Being the only school to fine their players is prolly a great recruiting pitch.
