so these poor young men can finally afford to “cover basic living expenses”… “and maybe even take a girl on a date sometime, like normal students are able to do.”
Remember those ridiculous arguments?

Ya reckon the Georgia Athletic Staffer was paying the checks? You beginning to see how UGA land all those 5* players?? They are just 17-20 year old kids ya know.

Do you think Clemson players aren't doing similar things?
Some of the things i saw at the houses of football players from 2011 - 2015 would make all of you squirm apparently

the problem with trying this at Clemson is you've got to drive an hour to get to any self-respecting strip club. I guess you could go to Ram Cat Alley, but then you're gonna run into people you know: "Preacher? What are you doing in here?" "Uhm, research!!"

Well, Toppers in Athens is not much of strip club - low mileage dances and high prices. SC does not really have any strip clubs in the entire state. Nakitas in Welford does in a pinch - MB is just more terrible dances and high prices. If the recruiting/analyst gals knew what was up they should have shown the kids a really good time at one of he mixed or AA clubs in Atlanta. They would need to circumvent the 21 to enter rule (maybe money talks). Sorry for the tragedy, never heard any report of excess blood alcohol level but was speeding in a 40 mph zone and unlucky to hit a utility pole and a tree. RIP and hope the survivors make a full recovery.

Of course not…But the options aren’t exactly locally available for Tiger players…
The issue is “Athens” is literally smack dab in the middle of UGA campus…They keep a separate identity and city for the university intentionally. This voids UGA of any liability if anything was to happen…But the university knows how much a glaring distraction that Athens is…

accidents happen all of the time, whether you are at a strip club or going to Publix. Let's wait on the alcohol report. That could be more of an issue than where the party was.
Also, quite possible that hitting the curb and over correcting was all that happened.

People are more likely to drive unsafely when the passengers are raucous.
Not saying that the players / student athletic staff were raucous, but it is more likely that they were raucous after spending the evening at a strip club than if they had been shopping at Publix.
Or maybe I’ve been to the wrong aisles at Publix.
Publix isn’t open into the wee hours of the morning, so there’s that.
These risk risk factors don’t have to include alcohol.

Funnily enough, I'm two weeks away from having my car totaled getting out of a Publix, so you are correct. It is true, though, that you typically aren't exiting Publix at two in the morning, with a snootful of coke in you, unless one of the bottles ruptured in transit, or something.

While this is sad for all of these young folks, it also is a demonstration of the absolute need for seat belts when in a moving vehicle. The young lady that was driving had to have been crushed between the exploding airbag and the untethered 300lb young man behind her coming at her with a force much greater than his actual weight. None of us would ride around with a 300lb weight sitting behind the driver's seat, but for some reason people find a unbelted human ok. I'm in no way trying to place blame on anyone, it's just that people need to think.

I see photos of college players driving in cars and few if any are wearing their seatbelts. My wife and I have mentored a group of 5 siblings for the last 7 years and none of them or their friends ever wore their seatbelts - unless their were in one of our cars. I dont know if its an age thing, but its crazy. I used to be an auto adjuster for an insurance company so I always wear my seatbelt and i tried to get them in the habit of wearing theirs also.

(gasp) adult beverages.
I'm wondering why so many people want to make the strip club part of this sad story. Don't mean to offend any anti-naked women people, but what's the issue here? Does anyone really think we don't have some players that would partake in a post championship strip club venture?

Don’t confuse the issue by trying to justify your own actions - you are trying to paint people as prudes, when I do indeed think most of us would be very surprised to find our Clemson Team is doing this as a group activity. I’m not saying they (nor I) are choir boys, but it’s a slippery slope when you start hiring young ladies to ESCORT underage players to strip joints and then tuck them in at night. Drinking or not, the optics are terrible, but the fan base doesn’t care in the least, beyond being genuinely sad that they died, I’m sure. Dabo’s faith has been ridiculed and he even was accused of forcing his beliefs on our players at one point. I do think he holds the players to reasonable public behavior standards. I’m glad he takes the high road and it definitely trickles down to the players.

Where is the strip club in Clemson? If we don't have one, how can we ever hope to compete with teams like Georgia?
UGa employee driving a rented car (?), crashes the car and kills herself and a player.
Trying to pretend nothing out of the ordinary happened here is crazy.

Not Unexpected From a Program That is Felon-dense And
Jan 24, 2023, 8:45 AM

is only focused on winning at all costs. A lesson to parents here is keep you children away from people and programs that use them up carelessly. Though unspoken, I would most confidently presume these young women were University-provided dates/escorts whatever you want to call it. If they were truly there functioning to keep these players "safe" they would never be permitted to take them to a strip club.
No public institution would provide paid chaperones to knowingly go to a strip club in fact I bet the Georgia code of conduct coloring book calls this out. Most public institutions would immediately terminate that employee/scholarship holder if in an official capacity they were in a strip club. At Georgia it would appear they incent this kind of behavior. Kirby owns this when one puts a moral compass on it.
God rest their souls. I hope Georgia gets litigated into the dark ages.

it's just a new world, apparently. When I think of "recruiting analyst," I think of a former high-school coach who's just seen 30 years' worth of kids playing football, probably 5 years or so from dropping dead of a heart attack, or lung cancer, showing up at some 1A game in order to see whether or not some kid he's heard about really is all that.

Won't happen at Clemson as Dabo only hires ex-players for analyst and most other positions and their wives won't let them go to strip clubs. Seriously, a sad day at UGA though.

There needs to be a public mourning period for all of us and especially the loved ones to deal with this tragedy. After that there should be a serious investigation of the factors mentioned in the original post and others.
