It would technically be sexual discrimination if they slap their guy teammates on the butt but did not slap her on the butt. They'd be treating her differently because of her sex, so...slap away I guess???

I wonder if she gets the whirlpool all to herself
OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

Alright, I'll bite.....how in the heck is that allowed??? Not because she's a girl, but because how is it allowed to bring in a NEW player in the middle of the season, walk-on or otherwise?
And even more so, it should be completely against the rules if she is on scholarship for soccer... it should count against the total allowed for football IF she received any scholarship for soccer.
I know, I know, it's a girl soccer player. But you need to consider the current cultural climate we are dealing with. Now, all you need to do is find a few decent football prospects, get them to claim themselves a "transgender" athlete and boom, you've got a girls' soccer team full of 3 ⭐️ & maybe even a few low 4 ⭐️ trans football players who collect soccer schollies and walk-on for the football team.
Bear Bryant and Johnny Vaught would be oh so proud !!

I'm sure there are girls soccer players that would be pretty solid and accurate placekickers. But if she didn't have the best leg available, using her just to say they used her because they were a scared they wouldn't have an extra point or fieldgoal seems a little disrespectful. If she had been with the team the whole season, yea, get her a shot at something just like you sometimes do with walkons to reward their hard work. But she had been with the team three days. It wouldn't have been insulting for her to not get a play. Now the first women to play in a DI football game got to play as a gimmick, not because she was the best player available.
Well she is something no one else on thay team can claim to be, a winner.

Makes you wonder why we can't just bring in players to fill roster needs whenever we want. We're the ones barely able to suit up a team. It was a PR stunt in a PC culture and no other way explaining it.

It's not hard to be a winner playing a minor sport at vandy. Those football players signed up knowing they were about to bust their ass for four or five years and if they're lucky, get a 7 win season and a 6 win season and two losing seasons. They presumably mostly could have gone to a successful G5 program but chose a much more difficult route, presumably to either get a degree or to compete in the SEC.
And they get rewarded by having a girls soccer player who hasn't been through the grueling practices or weightlifting and doesn't get hit giving them a speech about cheering near the end of a brutal year for them.

Well, it looks like she may play again. She's travelling with the team to UGA - https://247sports.com/Article/Sarah-...tch-155769259/

Kicking and Punting are different. They are mechanically very different, and if you are not used to doing the other regularly you risk an easy injury. In Vandy's case, an injury to the Punter would put them at a bigger disadvantage - because they punt a lot.

They could technically punt the kickoff and go for two if they ever scored a TD, so having a kicker isn't a necessity like say having a QB (see Broncos game this weekend).

That's true, just like the could drop kick the extra point or FG attempt - you don't see any of those very often.

Would attempting a drop kick fg be better than someone who has never kicked fgs before? I don't think I saw her attempt anything past 2-3 yards warming up. One fg looked like crap but the other looked pretty good. It was interesting that they never really showed her attempting anything that would even be an extra point since it would have been 7 yards further back.

Good point. Forgot about the drop kick extra point. Saw it done earlier this year in a clip from a high school in KS

I would love for Vandy to have a 25 yard fg to win the game this weekend and they trout out the punter to take the kick..
