    Please don't. You've presented good opinions, and this is one of the better debates on TBR. My heart says one thing, my head another. I'm really having a hard time.

    to say that he's never heard of a bowden doing anything good for anyone is ridiculous.

    This is just one of thousands:

    Houston Texans guard Milford Brown experienced that same people-first mentality when he played at Florida State. After transferring from East Mississippi Junior College, Brown started all 12 games his junior season for the Seminoles. But before his senior year, the NCAA ruled him ineligible because of a mix-up in credit transcripts.

    Unable to play, Bowden allowed Brown to occupy a scholarship position as he stayed at school to work out. Luckily, the Texans soon took Brown in a supplemental draft.

    The generosity Bowden extended made a big impression on Brown, though.

    "That goes to show you what kinda heart he has," Brown said. "Even though I was done with football, he wanted me to stay and get a good education."

    You know what, you guys are correct. I shouldn't have said what I said about the Bowden's. I don't know them personally so it's unfair of me to judge them. I'm just bothered by the situation with Clemson right now because I see it happening all too frequently in college sports. It happens in football, it happens in baseball and sometimes in basketball. I just don't like to see it happen. I also don't like players doing stuff like that to schools, so it goes both ways. So I apologize for saying they haven't done anything for anyone. But I still do not agree with the situation at Clemson.


    Edit: But Braves, "thousands" might be a bit of an exaggeration.

    He had 2 years of eligibility left and was used as a PR machine by Tommy Bowden. Once Clemson was able to shore up the RB position, they told him to fuck the fuck off. AFTER it hit the press, he was given a GA position that would pay tuition and books only. TBowden also told the media that RR could handle the responsibilities of football and academics, yet the kid is graduating in 3 years with honors.
