bobbob1313 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Tommy Bowden's showing a lot of class here: The Ray Ray McElrathbey story is a special one. The Clemson reserve tailback gained national fame for taking custody of his 11-year-old brother Fahmarr in 2006, then received a rare waiver from the NCAA that allowed him to get assistance from the university and the public in taking care of his younger brother and still maintain his football eligibility. On Saturday, Clemson announced that McElrathbey, who has two years of football eligibility remaining, was going to graduate in August and was no longer a member of the team. Now the truth. Tiger tailback James Davis says McElrathbey didn't have a say in the matter. The coaching staff decided not to renew McElrathbey's scholarship for the 2008-09 season. "He said something about how they weren't going to renew his scholarship," said Davis, who has known McElrathbey since their high school days in Atlanta. "It really surprised me. But there's a lot of stuff you can't say. It's something I guess everybody has to learn to live with." Why is Clemson doing this, especially to a player Link to post Share on other sites

I guess he's not too bright period... Gamecocks' freshman QB charged, fined Garcia's underage drinking rap follows a pattern ASSOCIATED PRESS Published on: 03/24/08 South Carolina's highly touted freshman quarterback Stephen Garcia on Monday paid a fine for underage drinking, marking his third run-in with police in about a year. Garcia, 20, was one of three football players arrested Saturday for underage drinking near a campus dormitory, according to campus police tickets. "He doesn't make any excuses and did not want to put the fans and the university through this and have more negative attention brought towards him or the school," Garcia's attorney Neal Lourie said Monday. Garcia's brother was charged with giving beer to a minor. Garcia enrolled early at South Carolina to get a jump start on spring practice but was suspended from the team a year ago after two arrests. In February 2007, he was charged with drunkenness and failure to stop for a police officer. About a month later, he was charged with malicious injury to personal property after a professor reported that Garcia had used a key to scratch the man's car. Garcia has previously successfully completed a pretrial intervention program to clear his record of misdemeanor charges. An athletic department spokesman did not immediately know Garcia's status with the team. After practice Monday night, coach Steve Spurrier said he would leave Garcia's fate up to university officials. "We just have to wait and see," Spurrier said. "His fate is out of my hands. ... He's had a lot of chances here, and we'll see what happens." Garcia was to miss Monday night's practice for academic reasons, spokesman Steve Fink said. Also charged with underage drinking Saturday were offensive lineman Heath Batchelor, 20, and walk-on quarterback Zac Brindise, 19. They were scheduled to appear in court next month. School telephone listings for Batchelor and Brindise were not in service. Police responded to students' complaints of loud music in the dormitory courtyard, university spokesman Russ McKinney said. McKinney said all three players would go through the university's student disciplinary system. Link to post Share on other sites
