I will be sorely disappointed if Fred does not play him within the month. He fits on the team, he has progressed from a walkon to a scholarship player, he is an excellent student, and he was not fully convicted and found guilty like others in the past on the football or basketball team. Sometimes you have to act bigger than your mouth.

This is why I like Fred. Handsome and mysterious. What else could a guy like me ask for in a coach.
Don't expect him to necessarily play within the month. From what I've heard he hasn't been working out like he did the first go around. Likely lots of conditioning before he plays.
Are Nader and McKay traveling to Texas? If so, and Bubu's not, I read that as being an intentionally noncommittal and boring way of saying he's off the team. Minimal drama, maintain the poker face, classic CFH.
It became a legal matter with the actions of Leath and the BOR, with the aid of the AAG. Why do people not understand that? Bubu had the right to appeal to a district court and he did that, and won the stay. If it were not a legal matter, it would not have been subject to review by a district judge. It would have stopped with the BOR, or possibly even with the president.
I don't know...this thread is serious business and humor might be deemed offensive...
I'll be disappointed as well, but I really don't feel like any of us are in a position to second guess whatever decision he makes. He has more knowledge of the situation, the team, and Bubu as a person, than any of us do. He'll make the decision he thinks is best for the team, and I wouldn't want it any other way. In my opinion, once it was determined that Bubu was going to be allowed to stay in school, this decision should have been Fred's and Fred's alone. At this point I'm just glad that the right person will be making the decision.
He was deemed to be unfit for the team.l Only the University, Athletic Department, or coach should be able to determine that. This sets a TERRIBLE precedent in the courts.
I don't care what people think he did or didnt do. Also, he was not found innocent, people need to quit saying that. Dismissal of charges does not denote innocence, it means they could not continue the trial for various reasons.
Yes, that is why they have a court system for appeals. They wrote their own process.
Redshirts typically do not travel, so him staying back is not odd at all since he hasn't even practiced and likely won't have a chance to until after the Texas game anyway.
I think part of the problem is that Hoiberg wanted him on the team (i.e. a scholarship for the 2013-2014 school year).
Then after that was agreed to, he was kicked off the team. From my understanding, the lawsuit is regarding whether the correct processes were followed regarding his dismissal by the President and the appeal to the BOR.
I'm not sure, but it's likely a rule that once an athlete is under scholarship for an academic year, they can not be dismissed from the team without just reason - and there is likely an appeals process.
One of those reasons being the accuser losing all credibility by fabricating evidence, but I guess that's not important!
