Gags might have a story about some of what is going on? Tutein is being pretty vocal about the whole situation, and obviously I feel for the kid in the fact that it sounds like he didn't want to leave the team.
 
I don't know how to embed tweets, but according to Tutein's twitter he was forced out or something. This is weird.
 
Yeah, kid walks on, plays, doesn't earn schollie and ends up booted from team?

I wonder if his earlier tweets about not getting a schollie rubbed Bohl the wrong way?

I will be interested to hear the whole story (if we do).

Best of luck to him!
 
Sucks to lose Olive. Honestly, I was kind of disappointed in him this year. I watched him off-season break weightlifting records and such, and it just didn't seem to translate on the field.
 
It's just me, but if you're seeing field time, you should probably be on scholarship. Good enough to play should equal some type of compensation. Hell, even practice squad dudes should at least get some type of partial, like tuition. If you're not good enough to help in practice, you should be cut
 
Agree, if you're seeing meaningful playing time , starting multiple games, anything like that you deserve a scholly. I feel like he should've got one after he lettered, especially given the attrition we had.

Why? Their job is to make the program better. You guys complain all the time that your tax dollars are being used on a 2-10 coaching staff, welp, this is the coaching staff working to make the program better. CFB is a cruel bitch sometimes.

Although I agree with you MrT, good luck getting some on here to see your side-- so blinded by their own opinions, the very thought of someone else actually knowing something is out of the question.

I don't need anyone to see my side, people agree and disagree and that's why this forum exists.

Wait, you can have an opinion on here??? Hmmm, don't say that out loud.
 
So what I don't get is - with the level of attrition we have and the limited number of scholarships available in any given recruiting class, why wouldn't we be able to give scholarships to walk-ons who have been playing? There's no way we're even close to the max total at this point or next season.

Sure they may not be the most talented kids there are, but given how many injuries we've seen, having somebody less talented but with playing experience could still be preferable to stripping a redshirt from somebody with zero experience late next season, no?

Right or wrong, I agree with you. It cuts both ways, though. Can't hate on a player for committing, getting better, and leaving for what they perceive as a better opportunity. CFB is a cruel bitch sometimes.

I absolutely agree. Maybe Tutein's production was down because he felt completely shafted and taken advantage of after last season when he played better than all but a handful of scholarship players. Tutein got screwed and I've lost some respect for Bohl because of it

CFB really has been boiled down to a business. A buddy of mine the other day and I were talking about it this week. Montana cut 8 from their roster, all cited as "personal reasons" but they're basically cuts. There's so much money at stake, and so little time to "build a winner" that coaches have to make shitty decisions like this. They have to take care of their families and do what's best for them, unfortunately in this business it comes at the expense of college student athletes. It's horrible for everyone, basically. Don't turn your program around in four years, welp, your coaching staff gets fired.. that's 10 families that are affected.
