I am a fan of oversigning.com.  These kids are embarrassed at having been cut, through no fault of their own  More of them need to speak out like this guy.  This is abhorrent behavior on the part of the coaches, and of the entire athletic department for allowing it to happen.

Now kids who are willing (and more importantly, able) to give up ("sacrifice") their scholarships because their reckless coach has oversigned players are being hailed as selfless heroes.  Admittedly, it's nice of them to do that.  But it opens up opportunities for all kinds of abuse.

“What an incredible gesture that is for him and his family to do that."

What a con.  He's the captain of the team.  He may never go pro.  But how  much do you think this "selfless" act will "boost" him in his career.

We're going to be seeing a lot of the same thing happening at Alabama and elsewhere very soon.
