August 30, 201610 yr They were posting pictures together' date=' some were obviously a little premiscuous (which is the issue here) But the pictures were taken under her permission. I've read a lot about it on Rivals. I think the problem Urban has is that he is suspended for essentially the whole football season, seems a little harsh in Urban's opinion. So yeah, he shouldn't have taken the pictures and I fully believe Urban would have disciplined him internally and probably suspended him a couple of games, but to suspend the kid from the university for something with zero criminal charges seems unnecessary. But then again I give credit to the university for treating Torrance the same as any other student. I don't really fault anyone in this circumstance because I think all parties did what they had to. I think it will die down anyways simply because it was a 6th string WR.[/quote'] I hope things work out for TG but all it potentially does is open the door for another 5 star player next year if he leaves, we're having a number crunch crisis right now.
August 30, 201610 yr Read about the story before you comment. He was with the girl and it was consensual. He decided he didn't want to be with her anymore and she went to the school. The school was in a tough spot because they don't want to appear like FSU and Baylor' date=' and Urban is in a tough spot because he has to stick up for his players to maintain the respect from the rest of the team, despite publicly going against the school. I'm sure the school understands why Urban had to publicly go against them and Urban understands the situation the school was in. Not much either side could do. You have to feel for the kid though. 2nd year, had to switch positions and RS 1st year. Then has a great spring game, but now he found himself, at best, 5th on the Depth chart at WR and passed by a true freshman. Then this comes out. If I had to guess I would say we won't ever see Torrance Gibson in an Ohio State uniform which is a shame because the guy is a hell of an athlete.[/quote'] Read it on Rivals best part. Lol. Keep blowing sunshine.
August 30, 201610 yr I hope things work out for TG but all it potentially does is open the door for another 5 star player next year if he leaves, we're having a number crunch crisis right now. He has had character issues as far back as HS, but he seemed to have turned his life around a bit. But I won't be surprised if he transfers. But it does open a scholarship for next year. They need the space or they will have to start turning away 4 star guys. Haha I was reading this week that there is a 4 star guy out of Ohio that hasn't been offered by tOSU yet and is sort of putting his recruiting on hold until they offer. Haha I'll try and find the article. BTW are you also on Eleven Warriors?
August 30, 201610 yr Read it on Rivals best part. Lol. Keep blowing sunshine. Not a comment board on Rivals, but from a reputable source on Rivals. Should have made that clear.

If we do not know if it was consensual how do we know if the punishment was fair?
