They were talking about him wanting to transfer to Duke. Unfortunately for Driskel, Braxton Miller was also rumored to be going to Duke.

If Braxton Miller goes to Duke, that'd legit be awesome for the Dookies, who I actually like in football. Fuck em in basketball though.

[Mertron]

any of the ohio state qbs are free to transfer to Rutgers

RUTGERS

[Palpatine]

I've got some BowlMania to care for; that's the only thing that'll keep me up for the first half.

[Serra]

That's the only thing helping me give a damn about non-B1G ball.

PJ Williams and Mario Edwards Jr. declared for the draft. Thought it would happen but our defense is gonna be hella depleted next year. Meanwhile, Jameis' dad says he won't make a decision until after the national championship game. Selfishly, I'd love for him to stay, but he needs to get out and get paid while he can.

[Kirin]

Winston to flee to draft. According to his father he clawed with the decision until last night. Seems kind of shellfish.

[Anoat]

I see what you did there.

Best decision he could make for himself and his family.

I'm sure someone called this in one of the earlier threads:

Attorneys for the woman who accused Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston of sexually assaulting her in December 2012 filed a civil suit Wednesday against the university, alleging it didn't properly protect her Title IX rights.

I've got a question though, maybe someone will know the answer. Will this woman actually gain something (material) from suing FSU, or will they only get punished?

Long version:

Spoiler: show

I know there are some laws and regulations for universities that are designed to protect students, but don't offer any real recourse for the student if violated, only punishments against the university. If I'm not mistaken (and it's been a few years since I completed the training), but I think FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) is like that. For those who are unfamiliar, part of FERPA is that universities are not allowed to reveal information about students without their permission.

There was a case a few years ago where a student had been expelled or suspended or something (I want to say he was suspended for sexually assaulting another student, but it might have been something else..). When he applied for a job, they sent the disciplinary file as well. He found out about it and sued saying he had never given them permission to release that information. The case made its way through the courts and the ruling was that the university had violated FERPA, but that meant the university would be punished, not that the student would receive any compensation.

So does anyone know if Title IX is like that as well?

St. Louis Rams OC Brian Schottenheiemer has taken the OC and QB coach job at Georgia.

Richt gone would just make it easier for us to hire Smart. I'm ok with that.
