Did my post say shifty or shitty? If it said shifty it was auto-corrected. Currie didn't have to suspend Samuels for that game without a complete investigation & I hope you aren't arguing otherwise. There have been several cases of players playing in games with eligibility questions at other schools before and after that happened. Currie had a choice and he chose to suspend the player without consulting the coach and without completing the investigation. Certainly your ever enlightening
isn't being used to indicate otherwise.
It wasn't JC that recommended suspension, that would be the compliance director's job. JC did not unilaterally decide anything, and the player in question certainly did something that warranted the suspension. Players on K-State basketball teams and other schools' teams have been suspended in the past for the same type of infraction. It gets more attention because it turned out to be a senior's last game. It sucks, but ultimately it is the player's fault for committing an infraction (an infraction he was specifically warned about committing, btw).
Should JC have gotten Frank's input before the suspension was final? Maybe? It wouldn't have changed the outcome. Frank is the type of person that would take offense to just about anything, so I'm sure that pissed him off. And if you talk to people close to Frank, I'm sure his version is filled with persecution -- that's his thing, you're seeing it now at SC.
I would agree that JC didn't make a huge effort to keep Frank at K-State, and it was clear Frank wasn't making a huge effort to stay at K-State.
The
was because this has been discussed over and over and people still believe what they want to believe -- I thought it was clear what I know happened, I didn't realize you wanted me to go through it again. Apologies.

great, we agree more than we disagree I don't by any means feel that Frank was a saint and without blame, no one does, but it seemed like that relationship was fractured to the point where it wasn't getting repaired. People quit their jobs all the time because of friction with their boss, I'd assume that and money are the two biggest reasons why people quit jobs, Frank is a human not a robot. The only people who go to work everyday and hate their boss are people who don't have job options and are not exceptionally skilled.
The only thing I take exception to is your view on the role of compliance, Jamie made a recommendation, Jamar was suspended by Currie.
(an infraction he was specifically warned about committing, btw).
because he had done it before or because they were worried about it happening? if because he had done it before but you don't want to say anything about it on here because we would get in troubs give me the secret emoticon.
The "prior relationship" clause would not excuse certain interactions with regards to a certain individual, and the player was informed of that previously.
Hmmmm. I think this is new info and changes things a bit with Jamar. I wonder the lengths that we went to prove that Curtis and James's relationship didn't fit the "prior relationship" standard; if compliance asked the NCAA or if that was the compliance department's interpretation of their relationship.
