Going to have to make smarter decisions if he wants to stick w/ a college program next time around. I'm sure he will.
I am one of the clueless on here who do not know the story. I respect the privacy of Dee and the University of Illinois.
A few questions I have, is there any opportunity for redemption down the line? Is a second chance even up for discussion? Is it best (permanently v. temporarily) that both parties remain apart?
Dan, I am hoping I am asking in a respectful enough manner, with sensitivities to both sides. If you feel these questions are inappropriate, please delete with my humble apologies.
Meh I think there will be another opportunity that presents itself.. Consider a program like Louisville gets strippers or Jerrance Howard gets caught with weed...
But there will definitely have to be a time gap he can point to where he's grown up a bit and won't make the same mistake twice. Trust me it sounds like he did something terrible (and I'm not saying what he did was fine) but it's something a lot of guys would fall to the temptation of.
I'm always uncomfortable in these threads as unsubstantiated opinions and second hand (at best) accounts progressively leak out. I would be surprised if he wasn't back in some capacity and sooner rather than later.
I wish someone would just tell us all what happened here.
I don't believe Dee was arrested and resigned. He will get another chance and hopefully now realizes the fish bowl / microscope they put themselves into with positions they apply for.
I was sitting one day in the office of a major college coach and with one of his best friends after a game. We tried to get him to go have a few beers with us. He shook his finger at us and said he wasn't going anywhere with us !!
This is the lifestyle they must maintain ....
