Not to argue with you, because I agree. But I'm pretty sure it has everything to do with potential lawsuits if/when someone gets hurt.

True story:
Before I got to college, in the fraternity house that I later joined, they used to go up on the roof and hang out and party. To a 50-year-old, it seems silly. But maybe it makes sense to a 20-year-old who has had more beers than he should. Anyway, one night, a guy who was not in the fraternity (he didn't even go to school there) - he was just a friend of one of them - he went to the deli down the street, used a fake ID to buy beer, went to the house, drank some beers, and decided to go on the roof. According to the investigation, the guys told him not to go up on the roof. I guess they didn't restrict his access well enough, because up he went. Some time later, he fell off. It's a 3-story house. He and his family sued the deli that sold him beer, the local fraternity chapter, the national fraternity headquarters, and probably some other parties. Maybe the school? I think the case finally settled after I got out of college.
Anyway, my point is that if the school doesn't expel him, maybe it looks like they're complicit in his actions, and if/when someone else gets hurt, the door is wide open for a lawsuit.

So that's my guess - take some kind of stance against this behavior or a lawsuit is going to hit you in the belly and steal your lunch money.

Similar to the targeting rule in college: penalize the hits to head and neck area, or it will look like you condone these hits. Penalize them now and you've got some ammo against any future lawsuits.

I'm sure this will come off as homerism after he picked us, but I've been of the opinion Moss is a fringe 5* since I watched his film (camp and game). He'll need some work on weight distribution and technique, but really that's 95% of OL recruits coming out of HS (or more). Moss has all the tools to be an elite OT and at worst will be a 3 year starter type, perhaps inside at guard. Lots of work in the weight room and coaching, but 2-3 years out I can see revisiting Moss and seeing why he is in the 5 star discussion.

Regardless, I'm ecstatic to land him. Great prospect and a steal from the heart of the south.

I’m not sure of his chops, but in theory it’s a great hire.

An NFL scout monitoring the transfer portal? Good deal.

I just created a thread for him and then saw this discussion.

I agree, this is a baller move. I presume that having anyone with an NFL background paying attention, full time nonetheless, to everyone else’s players who are ripe to be picked is better than nothing. Putting that on Pantoni would be too much.

The follow up to the recent Manziel interview where he states that he roots for the Browns to go 0-16 every year. I always thought he would be a bust when they drafted him.

UCLA research suggests playing pro football can increase risk of developing ALS

Professional football players more likely to develop ALS

www.uclahealth.org www.uclahealth.org

The study looked at close to 20,000 professional football players who had participated in at least one game between 1960 and 2019. The data showed that professional football players were four times more likely than the general population to develop and die from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a neurodegenerative disease.

Because the study covers 59 years, the researchers were also able to make an important connection between the length of a player’s football career and their risk of developing ALS. Specifically, the longer someone played football, the greater their likelihood of developing ALS became. Those players who developed ALS played more than 50% longer than those who did not.
