Perhaps we did that?? Apparently, we offered him a medical hardship scholie, and he chose to give it one more shot. I'm not for pushing kids out, either, don't think that was the case.

You're right, I don't know what happened. My point was just that many on this board were all for giving him the boot. Hopefully Dixon treated him right.
Some of you people want to protect Dixon like as if it's your mom that's being criticized. lol.
Untrue. If something is a valid criticism, I don't say anything. I am sure you are used to your mom being criticized, and the way you turned out, well she should be.
Almost nobody, and I mean it, almost nobody, wanted to keep him here based on how he looked in games last year. He may have continued to heal or whatever, but that isn't always foreseeable. If your criticism is Jamie isn't all knowing of what someone's long term prognosis is with a a bad micro fracture condition in his knee, then you are really reaching the bottom of the barrel in some strange attempt to find criticism anywhere you can. Valid or not.

I didn't say he was a bastard, but I understand the allure of driving out the weakest players in hopes of improving the team. I think college athletics should be better than that, but I realize that is contrary to popular opinion.
It is what it is. Every school does that to some extent. Not every player pans out. I am sure when the coach lays out to a guy that he will not likely ever play for a team again, he sets up a scenario where it is likely in the best interests of both parties that the guy move on. Perhaps at D3 it isn't that severe, but there is too much to be perceived at stake to be the only school that does not do that. Look at it this way. Lots of people don't keep up academically, and end up either leaving school or transfering or changing to an easier major. I know academic and athletic analogies don't always fly, but that's the best analogy I could come up with.
I don't think this is a big issue, based on last year, you couldn't know that Joe would be this good he could barely move, just the seeming sensitivity of it is what sticks out to me. Just seems funny that anyone would be so upset. And it's too late to criticize my mom, she died 3 yeas ago, may she RIP.
Not exactly anybody's mom in particular, just said some people seem to jump to Dixon's defense emotionally, like as if their own mom was being attacked.
