About 'fgcu sat'|Virginia, Hampton, Richmond 1-2-3 in LadySwish state rankings








Respect.

It's               not               about               the               word.

It's               about               the               connection               the               word               implies.

When               we               talk               about               the               word               "respect,"               most               often               we               are               referring               to               it               in               a               hierarchical               sense.

You               respect               those               above               you,               respect               those               who               have               more               experience               than               you,               respect               those               who               can               teach               you,               respect               those               who               have               your               best               interests.

Even               when               it's               hard               to               endure               what               they're               asking               you               to               do,               what               they're               asking               you               to               take.

You               respect               someone               or               something               enough,               and               anything               is               possible.
               The               backwards,               hypocritical,               asinine,               and               insipid               system               currently               active               in               the               NCAA               is               a               prime               example               of               how               words               like               "respect"               continue               their               rapid               decline               in               value               in               our               society.
               Don't               believe               me?

Recently,               a               man               was               fired               from               his               coaching               position               for               something               he               did               in               November.

Or               rather,               something               that               he               was               filmed               doing               and               was               later               given               to               the               athletic               director               it               November               (which               is               important).

It's               implied               that               he               could               have               been               doing               it               for               months.

For               years,               perhaps.
               Of               course,               the               man               I               am               talking               about               is               former               Rutgers               head               basketball               coach               Mike               Rice               Jr.,               who               was               dumped               by               the               program               on               April               3,               when               a               video               of               him               abusing               his               players               during               practice               was               first               aired               by               ESPN's               Outside               The               Lines               television               program.

What               do               we               mean               by               abuse?

Gay-slurs.

Smacking               players               in               the               back               of               the               head.

Throwing               balls               at               players               heads               and               chests.
               When               the               abusive               video               was               given               to               then-Athletic               Director               Tim               Pernetti,               it               was               decided               Rice               would               not               be               fired               for               his               actions.

Instead,               he               received               a               $50,000               fine               and               a               three-game               suspension,               according               to               ESPN.
               Were               it               not               for               then-assistant               coach               Eric               Murdock,               who               I               will               be               discussing               later               on,               turning               over               this               video               to               Outside               The               Lines,               Rice               would               still               be               the               coach               at               Rugters               and               no               one               would               have               been               the               wiser.
               Here's               the               question.

What               do               we               want               kids               to               learn               from               collegiate               athletics?
               Loyalty?

Yeah,               loyalty.

That               must               be               it.

Easy               enough,               right.
               Not               quite.
               The               current               head               coach               of               the               Norte               Dame               football               program               is               Brian               Kelly.

Before               he               took               that               position,               he               was               the               head               coach               of               the               Cincinnati               Bearcats,               where               he               racked               up               a               record               of               34-6               in               four               years               en               route               to               three               Big               East               Coach               of               the               Year               awards.

One               of               the               players               credited               for               his               success               in               Cincinnati               was               a               kid               named               Marty               Gilyard,               who               played               cornerback               and               wide               receiver               under               Kelly's               system.

In               2006,               Gilyard               was               redshirted               for               academic               reasons.

I               imagine               Kelly               saying               something               to               the               effect               of               "In               order               to               play,               in               order               to               be               loyal               to               your               team,               you               have               to               respect               the               academic               process."
               And               like               the               obedient               rascals               that               football               players               are               trained               to               be,               Gilyard               did               just               that.

Improved               his               grades.

Became               a               starter.

Earned               first-team               All-Big               East               honors               in               2008               and               2009.

And               for               his               loyalty,               for               his               respect               and               commitment               to               his               program               and               his               coach,               how               was               he               repaid?

In               2009,               when               Cincinnati               earned               a               Sugar               Bowl               birth               to               play               against               the               Tim               Tebow-led               Florida               Gators,               a               game               that's               possibly               the               biggest               of               Gilyard's               college               career,               Kelly               departs               for               South               Bend,               Indiana.

Gilyard               was               visibly               upset,               and               rightfully               so.
               Oh,               but               that               was               different,               some               might               say.

At               the               big-time               schools,               those               things               "just               happen."               Bret               Bielema               leaves               Wisconsin               for               Arkansas.

Pete               Carroll               leaves               USC               for               the               NFL.

Hey,               but               at               the               smaller               schools?

Man,               those               coaches               are               loyal               to               their               kids.

Yeah,               you               wanna               see               loyalty,               take               a               look               at               the               smaller               conference               teams.

Boise               State               (football).

Butler.

VCU.

They've               got               it               right.
               Ok,               let's               do               that.

One               of               the               feel               good               stories               of               the               year               so               far               would               have               to               be               the               basketball               team               at               Florida               Gulf               Coast               University.

The               bracket-busting               team               that               no               one               saw               coming.

Led               by               a               stud               coach               named               Andy               Enfield.

Last               month,               Enfield               led               the               15-seeded               Eagles               to               a               dominating               victory               over               Georgetown,               a               Final               Four               favorite               in               the               eyes               of               many.

After               beating               San               Diego               State               in               the               next               round,               Enfield               became               the               first               coach               to               led               a               15-seed               into               the               Sweet               16,               his               loyal               players               chanting               "Andy!

Andy!

Andy!"               after               the               win.

And               although               the               team               ultimately               fell               to               the               Florida               Gators,               FGCU               is               a               program               on               the               rise.

With               Enfield               at               the               helm,               perhaps               the               Eagles               will               shock               the               world               again.
               Just               one               problem.

Enfield               left               the               program,               left               the               small-nit               community               of               basketball               fans               in               Fort               Myers,               Florida,               left               the               players               who               chanted               his               name               and               followed               his               lead               when               he               asked               for               their               loyalty               and               respect               during               every               game               and               every               practice.

He               left               for               the               bright               lights               of               Los               Angeles               to               become               the               head               coach               at               the               University               of               Southern               California.
               Ok,               so               maybe               the               coaches               don't               have               it               all               together,               some               might               say.

But               what               about               the               athletic               directors?

They               never               leave               their               schools.

They               know               about               loyalty               and               respect.

Yeah,               the               ADs               have               it               right.

College               players               should               aspire               to               what               they               stand               for,               right?
               Well               let's               see.

When               Pernetti,               now               the               former               AD               at               Rutgers,               was               first               made               aware               of               Rice's               behavior               in               the               video               back               in               December,               he               opted               to               fine               and               suspend               him.

When               the               proverbial               "stuff               hit               the               fan"               in               April,               he               decided               to               fire               Rice.
               In               a               statement               he               made               after               the               firing,               in               an               attempt               to               explain               why               he               hadn't               fired               Rice               sooner,               Pernetti               said               "I               am               responsible               for               the               decision               to               attempt               a               rehabilitation               of               Coach               Rice."               He               also               acknowledged               that               it               was               the               wrong               decision               to               make.

It               would               appear               that,               at               the               very               least,               Pernetti               was               owning               up               to               his               mistake.

That's               something               that               you               can               teach               to               college               kids,               right?

When               you               make               a               mistake,               don't               go               blaming               others.
               However,               on               April               5,               Pernetti               submitted               his               letter               of               resignation               to               Robert               Barchi,               president               of               Rutgers.

During               a               press               conference               to               announce               the               news,               Barchi               read               two               statements,               one               of               which               was               Pernetti's               letter               to               him.
               In               that               statement,               Pernetti               said               "As               you               know,               my               first               instincts               when               I               saw               the               videotape               of               Coach               Rice's               behavior               was               to               fire               him               immediately.

However,               Rutgers               decided               to               follow               a               process               involving               university               lawyers,               human               resources               professionals,               and               outside               counsel.

Following               review               of               the               independent               investigative               report,               the               consensus               was               that               university               policy               would               not               justify               dismissal."
               So               on               Wednesday               (what               I               call               Damage               Control               Day),               he's               responsible.

Then               two               days               later               it's               "Oh,               wait,               no.

I               wanted               to               fire               him.

But               umm...the               lawyers               and               the               uhh..HR               people               said               don't               fire               him."
               So               which               is               it?

More               importantly,               which               answer               did               Pernetti               give               to               the               abused               players.

The               fact               is               we               don't               know               what               communication,               if               any,               Pernetti               had               with               the               players               directly               after               he               viewed               the               video,               which               leads               me               back               to               former               Rutgers               assistant               coach               Eric               Murdock.
               According               to               stories               published               by               NJ.com,               Murdock               was               fired               in               July               2012.

Murdock,               hired               by               Rutgers               in               2010,               gave               the               video               to               Outside               the               Lines               in               April               2013               and               told               NJ.com               that               the               video               is               compiled               of               "hundreds               of               hours"               of               practices.

Murdock's               attorney               Barry               Kozyra               said               "There               was               more,               but               how               long               do               you               want               to               make               it?

It's               hard               to               watch."
               Let               me               get               this               straight.

Murdock               sifted               through               hundreds               of               hours               of               abuse               that               the               head               coach               was               administering               to               college               kids,               an               unimaginable               experience               in               and               of               itself.

He               watched               players               transfer               as               a               direct               result               of               the               abuse.

Murdock               sat               by,               game               after               game,               practice               after               practice               as               it               happened.

However,               when               news               of               these               events               finally               breaks,               it               just               so               happens               to               coincide               with               the               wrongful               termination               lawsuit               he's               filing               against               Rugters.

As               speculated               by               Deadspin.com,               this               would               appear               to               be               a               PR               move               to               maximize               his               legal               position.
               I               would               understand               Murdock's               strategy               if               it               were               just               about               his               termination.

But               it's               not.

What               those               kids               when               through               far               outweighs               his               unfair               treatment               at               the               hands               of               Rutgers               officials.

Don't               tell               me               that               the               video               couldn't               have               been               given               to               the               public,               been               given               to               ESPN,               sooner               than               April               2013.

Murdock               held               on               to               the               video               until               it               was               beneficial               for               him.
               That's               the               point               I'm               trying               to               get               to.

The               system               in               place               by               the               NCAA               and               its               conferences               is               this:               "Loyalty.

Respect.

I               get               it.

But               what's               in               it               for               me?"
               And               because               of               that               mindset,               we               now               have               a               sports               system               in               place               that               can               do               nothing               but               abuse               college               athletes               in               big-money               sports               events               (basketball               and               football).

Brian               Kelly               and               Bret               Bielema               didn't               physically               hit               their               players               (that               we               know               of).

But               preaching               commitment               and               loyalty               to               their               recruits,               then               bolting               for               the               next               big               thing               is               just               as               abusive               as               a               head               slap.

Making               millions               of               dollars               off               an               "amateur"               sport,               then               telling               kids               they               can't               have               any               of               it               because               they               are               amateurs               is               just               as               abusive               as               name-calling.
               When               the               NCAA               hands               down               sanctions               to               programs               like               USC               (in               2010),               Penn               State               (in               2012),               and               SMU               (in               1987)               for               lack               of               institutional               control,               or               for               a               sex               abuse               scandal,               or               for               repeated               violations               respectively,               it's               usually               the               players               who               had               nothing               to               do               with               it               that               suffer.

They               can't               play               in               bowl               games               or               appear               on               TV,               all               because               of               what               others               did.

Meanwhile,               the               true               perpetrators               leave               with               minimal               to               no               damage.
               To               me,               that's               abuse,               too.

But               hey,               that's               just               business               as               usual               in               college               sports               today.
               And               that's               the               worse               part               of               it               all.

The               NCAA               has               us               all               desensitized.

Somehow               "respect"               and               "abuse"               have               become               the               same               word.
