I have to agree with Wooly here. First ND isn't a school that will cut your scholarship over this type of infraction. But we are also a school that can't afford to cut scholarships we are barley at 85 now. And he does seem to be a very good student which is what we all want.
No if the on of the freshman come in fall and beat him out sorry bout his luck but we could still use him against running teams and on special teams. There would still be a spot for him. Not to mention it is still depth in case someone did go down with an injury.
I said nothing to the effect of cutting Redfield from the team, Wooly somehow misunderstood the phrase "cutting our losses" to imply cutting Redfield from the team, which I was not calling for.
Cutting your losses-
"to extricate yourself from an impossible situation, where there is very little or no hope for improvement."
What I was try to convey is that Redfield is not the teams future at S and he should be benched. (my opinion)
Not cut from the team, not losing his scholly, just losing his starting S position, very similar to the calls for Joe Schmidt to have been replaced.
That's all, nothing more, nothing less.
-and now back to your regularly scheduled thread topic-
