Anyone know the facts/story concerning Kitt's not being allowed to play yesterday?

[Southern Fried Chicken]

They stated that it was an academic issue ... (LOL!!! I'm certain that she can spell her name without assistance) but, it's somewhat odd that she wasn't allowed to play, yet allowed to dress, allowed to sit on the bench and allowed to travel out-of-state, with the team.

The only things I can think of: 1} It was a Coach Staley benching (for whatever reason) or 2) She just skipped an exam/test without permission.

C'mon, .... dudes playing in their 7th year of eligibility?, dudes playing for their 3rd & 4th school?, a ROYAL A-hole suing the NCAA for additional eligibility since N.I.L. wasn't allowed during his first two years? An NFL Player getting his degree 15 years after flunking out and without ever having attended another class since???

SERIOUSLY .... I used to think it was only about the $$$... NO!!!! It's only about the stupidity. They used to call it Prostitution ... making money for using your body, for display or abuse ... now they're called Sex Industry Workers or Professional Athletes.

My guess is that she had a class attendance issue or skipped some sort of mandatory study session.

The only other thing I can think of would be that she's missed so much work in a class that it caught the attention of her teacher or tutors.

The son of a friend of my wife already had her son quit mid-semester at a small college and return home. He wasn't doing well adjusting to being away from home and wasn't going to class anymore. He's a good kid so it wasn't that he went crazy at school. Just wasn't doing his work.

I was glad to see the suspension. I think it shows the coaching staff takes things seriously and you have to take care of your business first.

Watkins misses one game after pleading guilty for assault and kidnapping and entering PTI.
Kitts misses one game for missing some classes.
Yeah, sounds about right in this day and time.

She was suspended from all team activities from the start of the pre-season practice, all the way to early November.

She missed the trip to Memphis to play in the St Jude exhibition event. She missed the home exhibition game against Clayton State. She missed the trip to Las Vegas. She also missed the trip to the White House with her teammates.

So, it was more than just one game.

No, it was just one game. The other things you mention were not games. Barely a slap on the wrist.

She missed more than 1 game. She missed exhibition games, 2 months of practices, and 2 trips with her teammates, including one dedicated to honoring the national championship team that she was a key part of.

Being suspended from the team and not being able to travel with her teammates and team is punishment. You might not like it, but that doesn't matter a damn bit.

Coach Staley's job isn't to please JGH 35.

I believe if you check our official record it is 2-0. We've only played two games. Exhibition games are basically scrimmages against sacrificial lambs.

Posting that she "just missed one game" is misleading and isn't a complete picture of the punishment that was handed out.

You need to learn to read and comprehend before commenting. I only compared the number of games each missed (nothing else) which is 100% accurate. You threw in Exhibitions which are not games. Our record is 2-0. If Exhibition scrimmages were games our record would be 4-0, but it is not. I was 100% correct and you are wrong. Just deal with your error and move along.

Watkins also was suspended and missed over 2 months of practices, 2 trips, 2 exhibition games, and 1 regular season game.

If you are going to compare the suspensions of two players and make a negative comment about the comparison, post a complete picture of the two suspensions.

In addition, we don't know if it was just for "missing some classes." We know it was academic in nature. Could have been "missing some classes" or something more than that, or a combination, or something different. We don't know other than it was academic in nature.

Regardless, she sure isn't suspended for 2 months from the team like Watkins was.

Again, reading comprehension is not your friend. I was only comparing games missed, nothing else. You added other shit that wasn't part of my discussion. LEARN TO READ!!!!! If I wanted to compare other possible (mostly insignificant stuff) I would have.
The FACT REMAINS they BOTH missed ONE GAME. PERIOD!!!!!!

We would be criticizing any other coach if their player got off so lightly for domestic violence.

She wasn't charged with domestic violence.

you only compared "games missed" which doesn't come close to accurately depicting the two suspensions - which you were doing.

I provided an accurate accounting of what the suspensions entailed which is the only fair way to make a comparison.
