Look I dislike Mayfield as much as the next guy, but if Trevone did something similar we would have been agreeable with this punishment.
scheiss Lincoln Riley
- Thread starter LVH
- Start date
He has a whole body of work to refer to. This year was gifted to him by the NCAA, and he has seemingly done something unbecoming almost every game.
The brat should be more grateful and thankful for his opportunity.
Just because there was not a suspension does not mean there was no action taken...
Look at Kyle Hicks this offseason. He was arrested, and he was not suspended. I guarantee you there was some sort of punishment from Patterson or some sort of required actions to prevent a suspension.
As fans we only see most of these players on game days, so we always want punishment to be something that we see. Coaches have more options than just suspending players, and I am okay with them those utilizing various punishments.

Whatever. 15 yard unsportsmanlike had it been caught. Anything further than that is ridiculous.

False metaphor. If TB had done this it would have been his first offense at anything because CGP would have disciplined him appropriately. Secondly, don't include me in "we" because I would have been fully supportive of a one-game suspension. Completely supportive.

If SR:
Gets arrested in the offseason
Taunts Baylor in warm-ups
Throws a football at a random OU player in warm ups
Taunts Kansas like he did
He isn't playing a game or two, guaranteed
His extra year has nothing to do with the NCAA. It was a big 12 rule that took away his year of eligibility; it had nothing to do with the NCAA.

He was already excusing BM's actions late on Saturday night saying that he's just so competitive that he crosses a line sometimes and you can't really punish him for it because it's what makes him him.

For the record, I probably don't think a full game suspension is necessary. First half would be fine.
Yes it’s a big 12 rule that majority of other conferences have as well.
My bad. He still caught a huge break that players before him did not get.
Thanks for the clarification.
So... nothing to do with the NCAA. Like I said.
And still a made up rule. Who gives a [ Finebaum ] if it’s the NCAA or big 12 that made up the rule
I bet they enjoy participation trophies for their kids too
I was responding to somebody that said "This year was gifted to him by the NCAA". There is a big difference between being granted an NCAA waiver, and a conference having a specific rule.

For the record the Big 12 rule did not take away anything from him. HE took it away from himself when he decided to transfer to another school. It was HIS decision that did it not the rule. The rule was not a secret.
A rule that has been in place and was known when he transferred “without OU knowing he was even on campus”. And a waiver is a waiver when it comes to eligibility. NCAA is always in discussions with conferences

Wasn't it overturned because 1) According to the NCAA rules, he could have still played in '17 as a grad transfer (just not in the Big 12), and 2) The Big 12 pretty much knew that there was no way it would stand up if Mayfield challenged it in court?
I can't remember how the whole thing went down but as I recall the Big 12's hands were pretty tied.
