That's what Steve and others have hinted at.

8 games is a little much compared to what the NCAA has let other teams get away with. I think 4 should be the limit.

Agreed. Seriously, it?s like a one year probation.

Is the NCAA suspending our players or did we do it proactively?

Do ten players take the same damn chemistry class? Now I don’t doubt that a couple may get 8 games but the chances of ten players and one basketball player taking the same chemistry class and all getting one tutor to take their exam seems dumb and idiotic to me.

A lot of them do have the same major. It used to be education psychology when I was at MSU. Not sure if that has changed or not. I had classes with several football players. And by several I mean probably 1/3 of the team as I was an education major as well.

If this is true, that is a massive hit for depth this year. 10 players? so we will be about 73-74 scholarship players for 2/3 of the season? Really?

So let me get this straight, you think there is no chance of beating LSU, A&M or AU at full strength?

You miss 8 games you might as well miss the season. No rhythm, chemistry. The next man up will probably be playing at a higher level by then. Maybe Gay could plug and play at a high level. The strategic ?pick the game suspension? seems silly. Just sit the first 8, if that is even what the penalties are.

This is on the players no doubt and they are to blame .. but if anyone thinks our compliance department isn’t playing checkers while all the other compliance departments in the SEC are playing chess then y’all are sadly mistaken.. it’s embarrassing...

No I didn't say that. I think there is no chance to beat bama yes. Next two least likely auburn and A&M then LSU Bc it's at home. But, as I said, I'm trying to give us the best chance to win 8. You don't have to agree w me about the best way to do the suspensions. That's fine. They aren't asking me or you anyway jmo

As I said about a week ago- we have a history of over-penalizing ourselves.
I'm also concerned about some of our transfers in football having trouble qualifying while other schools seem to have no issue. Specifically Waitmann and the DT from Louisville.

We mainly are going to play two LB's anyway. I think Tim Washington while he's not Willie Gay is a senior who is a solid player. Aaron Brule has really impressed me when he has played.

We didn't self impose this. But I understand the frustration with it. It's amazing the same compliance Dept got Danberry eligible, but love isn't. Who knows.

To me, it probably makes more sense to sit out the first eight anyway. That way if there are any injuries or whatever later in the year you may have someone fresh and ready to play.

It seems to be more of an issue specifically with football. I don't know why. We have gotten baseball transfers in with no issues either.
