Things have sure been quiet about Bernard

Nothing was hardly mentioned last night on the Sitake show about Francis.

I suppose it's none of my business, but this is what I expect to happen. (Nothing insider at all, just a hunch) After the Ute game, an announcement will come that Bernard is leaving to attend Utah. He will be granted a release from BYU.

We have all agreed to let you leave without restriction PK

8/23/17 10:28am

Do we even know if FB has asked for a release? Isn't he still thinking it over-- despite what his bro says.

It's also pressing into ncaa ethically gray area

Rules should force Patrick Kinahan to leave the state of Utah.

PK has the names wrong. The headline is more apt for the Tukuafua story.

Definitely applies. It fits both situations.

8/23/17 10:58am

Does it fit the Bernard case? Is BYU withholding his transfer?

8/23/17 11:02am

Nobody knows.

You should be able to restrict from teams on schedule over remaining eligiblity

If you never attended the school or practice, you should be unrestricted (Joe T)

There is even a Kyle Whittingham quote at the end that says just that

I agree with him. What's everyone's problem?

I've learned that most don't care about individuals, only institutions.

Why can't both be protected?

Programs should have a right to kick someone out

Why should players have a right to transfer without penalty if it could...

8/23/17 11:26am

Are you prohibited from receiving money from a 3rd party?

thebruce

8/23/17 11:44am

Hahaha, really? Only like every time. Non-competes and/or buyout penalties are

So wait, you can't take money if you sell some shoes or accept gifts?

I'm not talking about a competitor. I'm talking about a booster.

thebruce

8/23/17 11:59am

Sure, that's not all that uncommon either, but it depends on the job, of course.

8/23/17 12:13pm

My point is you are acting like a student athlete is comparable to regular jobs

thebruce

8/23/17 12:24pm

Nobody forces them to sign their contracts. In fact, most students would give...

8/23/17 1:40pm

Again, you are proving you care about institutions more than individuals.

thebruce

8/23/17 1:43pm

No, I really don't, I just care that contracts which benefit BOTH are honored.

8/23/17 1:47pm

Yes, and I'm saying the contracts aren't fair to both.

No I'm not talking about rivals at all.

So you're not talking about FB at all then? Just trying to get your argument

Is this a serious question?

Two big problems I see:

Based on all the KW quotes, there's nothing justifying the headline's assertion.

8/23/17 10:56am

Headlines are written by the copy desk, not the writer of the article. Seems they have

Got it. PK basically wrote the headline in the first paragraph though, so in

Accipiter

8/23/17 11:59am

Yep, that's basically what they go off. Read the lead (1st paragraph or so) and write the headline.

He said the same exact thing many on here have said for days.

8/23/17 10:57am

Wonder why there was no article aimed at USU, this is clearly not an issue here

PK is a HACK!

If coaches can leave (they have penalties paid by the new school), then athletes

Often coaches have non-competes too. Look at Bielema's contract at Arkansas...

It's actually becoming more common for coaches to have non-competes as well.
