one year delayed, eh cap'n?

Sounds to me like the old regime made this a pretty nasty process.  I don't think Currie is the type of guy to let that crap go and here we are.

Bilas needs to STFU unless he wants to do some actual reporting.  His crusade for the student athlete loses credibility when he never adds any insight and just wants to throw stones at the establishment. 

Also, I know there are student athlete rules but why was the Jamar Dillon's Trashgate thing allowed to be talked about and this is not?

I've agreed with ChiCat (excellent poster) through this whole thing.

Did the Angel comment ever get clarified?

No. From what I have gathered in this thread and on twitter, the investigation is ongoing and headed by Trim

 

I'm stalled out at the moment.  Leti favorited my "Is Leti Romero on twitter..." thing Sunday.



I then got into a DM exchange with her after this:

Perfect, it's @LeticiaRomero95. Leti, I'm w/@goEMAW.com. Can we talk about Angel and his release?

https://twitter.com/TrimGoEMAW/status/458033086769283073

In hindsight, I may have been a bit too ethical in clarifying exactly what aspect of all this I cared about. 

I indicated I'd like to submit to her some questions that she could take her time answering.  Eventually, she said she didn't want to go public any further as of Sunday.  I guess there's a chance that maybe we could eventually still do it.

I'm with Daris re: Angel.  I am bothered that while it could be 100% true that Angel only formally requested a release after 12-13, that he wanted a release after 11-12 but was told before the formal request that he'd have to put in at least a year to get one, and then he didn't bother formally requesting it.  That was always what I took away from Leti's quote, and it's such an odd thing to have brought up, that I want to know everything about why it was said.  I don't get why none of the media types aren't insisting she clarify that whole thing if she ever wants them to run with the stuff she's providing them (you know, blackmail her). 

That's all I was trying to get before she was silenced.  Well that, and whatever non-Angel stuff you guys would've had me ask her.

Missed a pretty sweet opportunity with that valentine candy, tho.

I'm not familiar enough with the situation, what would look best on the valentine candy? A gE logo?

So Trim, is the ultimate goal to determine if Angel was an even bigger FP/TC than realized and the administration called him on his FP/TC'ness and tried to install a little fortitude into the youngster, before finally acquiescing to his FP/TC'ness so it wouldn't infect others?

[Mr Bread]

You didn't actually say that last thing fwiw.

I know.

Its all good. You've been consistent with your stance on transfers from the beginning. I suppose its fair to say I don't necessarily disagree with you that much, but I'm prone to take K-State's (as a whole) side a bit too much.

My natural inclination as an Illinois fan is to dislike the AD.  It's easier for me.

Perfectly understandable.

Illinois:  We're really not that good at anything anymore.

Adorable.

Without the GRCOAT policy, there would have been no Frank.  Without Frank, there would have been no Angel.

if the GRCOAT policy was used here it would have been to keep the recruit that we let go, not to keep a current player on campus.

How is this relevant to the discussion of not letting players go when they want?

[michigancat]

Which GRCOAT players formally asked for a release?

[Trim]

Someone recap this entire thing in a small picture and request for info that can be sent to Angel via instagram.

[Dr Rick Daris]

NONE OF THEM EVER DID SO JUST WHY ARE YOU SO CONVINCED THEY DID AND WHAT'S YOUR AGENDA!?!?!

[chum1]

I don't know.  But I do know our policy had they asked!

I don't think you do. I mean, we wouldn't have had to hire frank if we wouldn't have let anyone go. We could have hired that dream boat mark fox and x'd and o'd like mad.

I pretty sure we said "we're going to hire Frank and Te, how about you guys stay around for a year and see how it goes. You can get a release then if you want one."

Very smart of KSU to employ the coaches who the best players wanted to play for.

That's amazing, now I need to decide if I want to do a signature change, I may start a GPC account just to have this as my sig pic over there
