From an athletic perspective.
Tech just picked up former Rangers pitching prospect Justin Jamison for basketball recently as well.
I agree, he probably did it, but like you said, the administration and the PD are doing their best job to intimidate the accuser and such and keep a lid on this.
Seems like things are a little different at UGA practices this year, Pruitt has guys practicing a lot differently than Grantham did. Grantham was an NFL guy so tended to have a small group of guys that he trusted and then those guys got all the reps, and rarely were taken out of the game. Came back to bite us in the ass late in games. Pruitt is apparently doing what Saban does, which is to have everyone doing reps at the same time in practice, so the first, second, and third team are all doing the same thing at the same time. They're having to sprint from drill to drill, no time standing around watching other guys work. If guys slack off, they're bumped down the next day, if they do better, they're bumped up. They're also keeping track of something he's calling MA's (missed assignments) in practice. The first, they had over 130 MA's, the next practice they had 8. So the players are paying attention and said to be enjoying the competition, particularly the players that were in Grantham's doghouse and are getting a new chance every day based on how hard they work. Secondary is being coached by him, so they're being taught to be a lot more physical at the line, eye control, etc. Basically, the fundamentals UGA fans have been screaming about for a few years. They're also changing the "Star" position to be what they're calling the "Money" position, which will be a DB instead of a LB as it was under Grantham. The reasoning there is that Pruitt wants the star to be able to cover a receiver. They're having JJ Green play there lately (played RB last year but was converted back to DB this offseason), which is interesting.
Mentioned they're going to keep doing this evaluation all the way up until 2 weeks before the first game. That makes me a little worried due to not having starters identified until then, but if this system works for him, I'm okay with it. Offensive line is a mess right now. Tackle and center spots are settled, most likely, but Will Friend is still trying to figure out who wants to play at guard. I guess I'm encouraged by the defense but all of this I'm taking with a huge grain of salt, because this is spring practice and there's a long way to go. I remember in the G-Day game last year the defense handled the offense easily and then our season couldn't have been any further from that.
In addition to the feds, 2 other players were charged with violating the Code of Conduct. Jameis though, he didn't violate sshhhhheeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiitttt.

He didnt violate because he refused to talk, the other didnt. This whole things a cluster fucker and its going to comeback to bite the FSU admins and police big time.
They're just going to send the people that were watching an illegal act, not the perpetrator. :jnc
The other guys got in trouble because they admitted to violating the code of conduct in so much as they watched/recorded them having sex. They did this follow-up internal investigation due to the requirements and probably to avoid any blowback such as a federal case. I would imagine that ultimately nothing will happen but I guess we'll see how it all pans out.
If we didn't have Okie State first, I wouldn't have been surprised if Casher and Darby were suspended for a game due to violations of student conduct or whatever generic term they usually use.

Well, we do only have on scholarship QB on campus right now...
Who's y'alls clothing sponsor now, Underarmor? They'll need to create a fashionable uniform for him so he can maintain his stylish appearance. Otherwise I don't seeing him playing. He doesn't want to do anything that would put his NY Fashion Week invitation in jeopardy.
Mike Gundy has been confirmed as having requested that Nike put a rush order on a uniform for him for their Spring football ending open practice tomorrow.

He's also a Dolphins fan and UCF grad. Saw him throw a sword at Saban's fathead on the wall yesterday.
Lots of college football and sports references!

It wouldn't accept Gatahs for Florida :/.
No shit. There's no "h" in Gata.

That or Wildcats (which made me sad that I missed Arizona, no excuse for that one).
Weirdest one I got was ULL Ragin Cajuns. For some reason I remembered they dropped the second g.

TBS is showing the national version, then TRU and TNT are doing "homer" calls for each team.

Missed Georgia State, South Alabama, Texas State, UNLV(!), and Western Michigan.

Guys, I'm watching Arena Football. Darron Thomas is starting for the Portland Thunder. The LA Kiss have grey turf and Gogo Dancers.
And Thomas' first pass is a TAINT.

Yup, that's Darron Thomas.

He's completing under 55% of his passes and has a 1:1 TD:INT ratio.
The best part is the guy who got the pick started his collegiate career at WSU before transferring to Hampton.

The new Big East can die in a fire. AAC is the future.

Sorta like a Bret Bielema Arkansas team.
Wow, another A&M player arrested.
What's going on in College Station? Has Kevin Sumlin lost control?

RSJ was originally committed to Texas, and some fans were mad at our recruiters for backing off of him when he decided to "explore other options". Seems like we ended up dodging a bullet with him.
Looks like a decision may be coming soon for the nations #1 prospect Trent Thompson. UGA has been leader with Bama #2.
Maybe so. Don't keep up with them but it seems like he got in some trouble last year as well? Kids can change, hopefully he gets his act together before it's too late. That first year or two can be adjustment because those kids are used to getting away with whatever they want in highschool and being the best, and now they can't get away with anything and they're not the best.

Could still change his mind, but QB's aren't known for doing that.
I could have told you it was South Georgia before I clicked on the link.

With the transition of Alabama getting a new starting QB, this would be the perfect year to give the triple option offense a try.
Since there's no College Baseball topic (because who watches that???), here's a "laugh at Auburn" moment.
Playing Ole Miss, tied in the 13th inning, Auburn is intentionally walking a batter, when this happens:
Fails at walking, Batter hits a walk off 3 run home run.
Much Beer was thrown in the stands. Shirts may never be found again.
