one year delayed, eh cap'n?

She signed a NLI which is binding for one full academic year (two full time semesters). It's a contract binding you to an institution. She signed the contract, K-State paid for a year of her education and for her to play basketball. Completely reasonable for K-State to not release her. She signed the agreement, end of story.

But, apparently Jay Bilas and all these other dumb asses don't think there should be any accountability on the part of the student.

You seem like you have a firm grasp on the issue.

she went to school for two semesters and played basketball

Wait, did you post this because you don't know the academic year goes from August-early May? Did you think she was going to leave last week or something? Bad look for Arch E majors and grads, yikes.

MIR, or other High Crisis Manager Experts in residence,  is there any BS story Currie could concoct at this time to put out after we release her that would ameliorate some of the damage  ?  Put your selves in the imaginary position of trusted adviser/mentor Godfather style of JC.

some tampering cat burgler was sneaking into the KSU house but KSU was on red alert and heard them coming. KSU stepped out of bed, winked at the sleeping wife like a complete stud in control of the situation, grabbed their biggest gun stashed in the night stand for this very situation, and confidently blew their own dick off.

Stuff got lost in translation.  Once we got a competent translator on board instead of the dumbfuck she brought from Spain or wherever, it was all clear and of course we released her.

No. But really for 99.9% of the people reading these stories their concern/fury/condemnation ends about 47 seconds after they've read what has happened. My chief concern as far as our PR goes is that we made public that we have a policy of not granting releases and that can be used against us. Contrary to what some may say on here it is incredibly rare for a school to make public that they have a policy of not granting releases. It was a colossal blunder that can only be fixed by publicly announcing a change in policy. It is astounding that the policy wasn't stated that releases will be granted on a case by case basis.

For the few people that actually care about Leti if/when she gets released people like me will say good for Leti but K-State still screwed up. If she gets released it won't get anywhere near the publicity that this has, zero chance that her release will garner a follow up on Slate.   

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

I feel like Debs overt sociopathy and manipulative nature has been ignored in this whole discussion. If the AD mumped up anywhere, it's not in the reactionary posture it's taken with Leti (again, wgaf), it's not firing Deb years ago, or, more appealing to me, exposing her for the sub-human she is in this whole mess.

[catz]

When did Dax become such a conformist lemming for the K-State athletic department?  From "disassociated" to "knee jerk apologist."  Sad, really.

I see all your stuff over on the phog Beems.  You're the very definition of a ku propagandist.  You're a walking, talking, typing ku glossy brochure who touts the ku party line at every possible opportunity . . . with thousands of posts on a K-State bulletin board no less.  You're the last effing person to start referencing anybody else as an apologist.   

MIR keeps talking about the team APR score, or individual academic accolades.  All of which is completely irrelevant to this discussion.   Individual student athletes make up the APR composite.   Why should K-State potentially (Possibly, maybe) take an APR hit because one player wanted a transfer (possibly as part of a package deal) 12 minutes after the previous staff got fired?   Reasonable question. 

Why should K-State just immediately acquiesce to the transfer demands of a current player who may have been part of a tampering situation?  Yet another reasonable question.

 



 

This has nothing to do with APR!!!

Jay will say that he got her the release and that he is a super stud student athlete advocate!  And all athletes will look at him like

Agreed, but Currie was too busy taking care of "the sports that matter"

[HerrSonntag]

One thing that the slate article brings up is an important element of the student athlete experience.  You have contractual situations, as ArchE_Cat described, that have certain obligations associated with them.  There are exemptions, but to fully realize those aspects requires someone with some degree of specialization.  One half of the contract (Atheletic dept.) has salary employees to meet those demands however the other is contractually obligated to not have the means to have matching representation.

I think, that the NCAA either needs to require member institutions to supply funding for some sort of player advocate service that could provide such counsel, or treat players more as at will-employees, capable of making their own decisions.  I think the latter is a would be a better use of resources, but athletic departments that treat players like property might have trouble swallowing it.

i think if the last word in the story is "that we granted her a release" we shouldn't have any lingering problems with recruitment in other sports.

Watching the draft, the cb pierre desir from st louis was originally playing at washburn.  Washburn refused to release Pierre because he wanted to transfer to be closer to home and his daughter.  ESPN was saying something about working multiple jobs and some kind of sewer work (?)  Just thought that is was interesting that this happens in lower divisions.

That offseason ravaged the WU football team's roster. They didn't want to release their all conference defensive back, when they were losing so many key players to graduation, dropping out and prison sentences. Also, Coach Schurig, the HC who recruited him, is still coaching at WU, so it's not a very comparable situation.

John Currie is a very good AD. He needs to do the right thing and give Romero her release. Today. One of the worst rules in NCAA rule book.

[meow meow]

Sounds like Deb and Shalee are going to Northern Colorado to join Ethridge's staff.  Doubt Romero wants to play there.

[Jackstack99EMAW]

Just block Northern Colorado and release her for Christ's sake.

that is what is going to happen by the end of next week.

Do we really give a crap if she goes to NORTHERN COLORADO? I mean really.

Exactly I mean if she likes those coaches well enough to follow them there than so be it.  They obviously didn't use her as leveridge to land those jobs.
