Freakin' NCAA. What's the point of an appeal process if it isn't timely??

Justice delayed is justice denied.

Oh, take off the maroon shades. The NCAA was never going to allow him to break his contract.

Lampkin should have brushed up on his espanol. Time for him to get away from mama and man up and attend Junior College.

Charlie should have told him Rumph was leaving...

you won't get siptrash55 to even go there. The chump will never discuss hard facts when it comes to the lies Chollie tells.

Is anyone surprised when a kid/athlete doesn't gain admission to Stanford?? No, they are not. Granted, Stanford is very careful with their scholarship offers, but not every single one of their commits end up there. It happens.

They kind of take some pride in releasing kids who aren't "Stanford Worthy."

Wish the young man well, and send him on his way. Common decency for adults. There are some adults somewhere in this equation, aren't there??

---

Unfortunately, even after 132 years, our little baby brother is still the same immature petulant angry narcissist child he's always been....and apparently that will never change.

Everyone here knows the NCAA never rules against the sips in these situations.

Why doesn't Lampkin just apply to OU as a normal student since he qualifies and then join the team at the end of August when Texas officially released him/denies admittance? Financial aid?

There are many old threads about Strong doing what was best for the kids first on here that can be bumped. Threads with sips bragging about him helping talented kids go to the school that would best fit them.

---

Ahh, the maroon kool-aid is strong (see what I did there) with the home fans today.

Strong did exactly what was best for the kid. He made him man-up and learn about the meaning of a contract.

And if the roles were reversed you'd be bragging about Coach Swagger doing the same.

---

That is completely spin. It's because he wants to go to OU, period.

If the kid wanted to go to Boise, he would already be there, and this would not be a story - except that the media would be gushing over what a fair and stand-up guy Chollie is for allowing the kid to realize his dream of playing College Football.

This. If tu lied to him then IMO they broke the contract anyway and the kid has every right to be pissed and wanna jump ship

I was reading an Orangebloods article from June and it said that anybody denied admission is automatically released from the LOI. At this point there is no way he can take the required classes so he is effectively denied. He doesn't need a stamp telling him he has been rejected. That's why I think it would be worth a shot to try to expedite something through the court, because this is pretty cut and dry.

I know there's some more wording I saw in a previous thread that is in the LOI with regards to not qualifying, but I still think he has a small case.

There are literally hundreds of posts at the shag and 247sip discussing Lampkin-gate, and almost 100% of those posts conveniently do not mention even a single word about Strong's and Rumpf's dishonesty and culpability in this mess.

None of that surprises us about them, of course, because we dealt with those people for 130+ years. But (Thank God) we left them behind in the bdf.

Beyond stupid. The "If game", the favorite sip talking point. Dumb though. If the roles were reversed, no. We'd be blasting Coach Sumlin. AND your critical post would have already been wiped from any sip "discussion" board.

While I feel sorry for the kid, this is the best possible outcome for us. This maximizes the appearance of pettiness of the Texas coaching staff and will be used against them in recruiting for years to come (assuming they hang on that long).

Charley took a chance on an academically questionable recruit and it didn't pan out. They should let it go. Maybe in the future there should be more oversight from their coaching staff and they won't offer kids who have no chance of getting into the university.

Who am I kidding, next year they will continue to offer barely functional special needs kids if it will boost their recruiting rankings. Charley forgot he wasn't coaching at Louisville anymore. How many of their recruits are not going to make it in this year? If it's more than one, that is all on those coaches and shows that their "core values" aren't worth the poster-board they were printed on. Throwing away a kids future to "win" in recruiting is despicable..... but not surprising.

Uhhmm, money?? They can't offer him a scholly. He's from OOS.

And no Car Dealership jobs open at the moment? Something doesn't add up.

So how many academic casualties are we looking at total for strong's frantastic 2015 class?

I'd love to get a reranking taking into account the players that didn't make it to campus.

That is how fran would occasionally beat mack at recruiting. He would take a bunch of grade risks to puff up the class's rating.

To verify I am not being biased, I'll iften try to turn these things around:

Assume it's an A&M recruit who failed to qualify academically and Sumlinviproom was sitting on his LOI to prevent him from going elsewhere. How would I react?

I WOULD BE PISSED! Most normal people would be. I cannot imagine a scenario where I would think Sumlin is doing the right thing.

In addition to Lampkin, there's Gilbert, Clarington, and Ronnie Major who still haven't been admitted by utex yet. The sips think Major will get in. Clarington has a clearinghouse issue, reportedly it's a suspicious ACT score. Last I heard, Gilbert has basically disappeared.

If the sips don't get Clarington, Gilbert, and Lampkin in, they likely drop to 15th or 16th in the national rankings of the 2015 recruiting classes.

He cannot qualify for admission into tu. He did not break the contract. Impossibility of performance.

He was a risk of not being able to attend tu when Strong offered him. Strong took the chance, the kid didn't make it. But he's been cleared to play for other programs without the language requirement.

---

At this point do not contractual requests for impossible performance and or court ordered/barred or statutorily barred actions constitute their own breach of contract and open them up to Deceptive Trade Practices/treble damages?

I think that this is going to backfire on Chollie on multiple levels. Texas High School Coaches will take note of how Chollie treated a prize recruit that did not qualify and will guide their highly ranked players in other directions. Chollie and his assistants may not even be welcome at some high schools. Other College Coaches recruiting in Texas will make sure that any recruits that they are interested in know how Chollie treated Lampkin. Finally, Lampkin will eventually play D1 Ball somewhere, most likely at OU. I think that if I were Lampkin and Chollie and the sips had cost me a year of eligibility I would be Super Motivated to meet the sips in the Cotton Bowl every October. I would make sure that I did everything in my power to inflict as much injury and damage on the opposing sip players that I could. Chollie is making a big mistake on many levels.

And let's not forget that, by delaying the inevitable, #DumbassStrong is wasting a scholarship he could use to bring in his grey shirt QB. I guess it's not like the sips need any additional competition at QB though.

longhornhere55 wasn't rejected from Texas, he was taught a lesson.

Considering that "your" school has demonstrated a pattern of letting in students that weren't qualified, I'm guessing they should just let Lampkin in, right?

They must have some standards though, because they didn't let your dumbass in.
