I don't have a huge problem with them blocking the transfer

I think it's dumb and petty but I understand why the rule is there.

But USU has revoked Collette's financial aid for this semester. In my opinion, he should be able to shop his services to other schools. If he's not on the team and not on scholarship, why should he be restricted?

If a school yanks a player's scholarship, they should immediately become a

Spencer Checketts tweets tonight make Collette look pretty bad.

If usu is pulling a scholarship, I don't think we're getting the full story

USU didn't yank his scholarship.

yes, they did

why the thumbs down on my post? do I have bad info?

Collette didn't ever want to play for Dureyea

He can say that now...

By leaving the team he voided the contract

11/26/15 10:04pm

True, but then he should be able to leave immediately. USU chose its remedy

Is someone forcing his to stay enrolled at Utah State?

dratax

11/26/15 10:14pm

Academic Policy is forcing him to stay.

He chose the timing of the announcement of a decision which apparently had been

He probably still could have made with withdrawal deadline

Why do you say that?

jackcrack7

They took away all aid this semester

dixdog

11/26/15 10:07pm

Do you have any sources saying that he has to pay it all back?

Looks like if any college picks him up it would be poison

regardless of all of this - the kid is an RM and a great baller - I'd love to see him at BYU

HarlemCoug

I don't think that helps the integrity of the program.

Why would BYU want a young man who betrayed all of his teammates and coaches

Aytes was completely different. Rice called Rose upon Jamal request.

Good on Rice for looking out for the kid and trying to help him

concolor couguar

11/27/15 8:53am

Agreed. USU faux pas is not letting him talk to other schools.

The Utes could be in trouble but it sounds like Collette was reaching out

concolor couguar

11/27/15 9:28am

Scholarship was for playing ball. Can't imagine any school would not cancel the scholarship.

I don't buy USUs explanation on the roster height thing.

11/27/15 9:57am

Maybe so. But i don't see the damage done.

I agree. Not damaging. Just petty and immature by USU.
