Should we even HAVE to prove the obvious?
I can't prove the sun set tonight, but if it looks like nighttime, it probably is.
Never mind UGA, if Saban wasn't so chummy with NCAA CEO Mark Emmert, Bama would've received the Death Penalty years ago. They're the MAFIA of college football.

Dude a low end Raptor is $75K. the $60K base model comes with the standard F150 Eco-boost engine and shocks. $75K gets the performance package.

So much wrong I don’t know where to start. Go to ford.com and mess around with the configurator for the Raptor. Then let’s talk.

The folks in Detriot drove one off the factory floor from Detroit to Baja.. raced in the baja 400, finished in the top20, and then drove it back to Detroit.
Truck is legit if you are an off roader. If you just driving around the streets it is nothing but a show of money.

You don't see how implying that a black family has a nice car so it must mean that someone gave it to them can be considered a bit racist by someone?

You don't think this forum would be doing the exact same thing if a recruit of any other nationality showed up in a 60k+ car the day after signing with a rival? What about when TLaw was pictured at that dealership with a nice car and other forums said we must be cheating, were they racist against whites? You're the only one(s) bringing race into it.

I actually didn't bring race into it. In fact, my first reply to this topic asked why a family with a kid going to college couldn't afford a car for their kid, and if being poor was a requirement to playing college football. I was only replying to someone saying this person was trolling by saying it could be racist to imply that the car had to be given to them. I can see how a person would take it to be racist to imply that this family couldn't possibly have purchased the car on their own.
I do agree that other fans would do the same, and it gets a bit old to me from all sides to be honest. I get that cheating happens out there, but I get tired of seeing fans from all schools point and say the other school must have bought a player every time a player commits somewhere besides their own school.

You weren't the first, but you continued the race thread, hence the 'one(s)' designation. TNet isn't a place for rational discussion, frothing homerism is sort of the point of this forum, and 99 times out of 100 everyone would have just agreed with OP and moved on. As you can see from my post numbers, I generally avoid getting involved, but this thread was so uniquely off-brand I had to comment.

You freaking snowflakes. You see racism everywhere, every minute, every day. "Hey - you wrote that note to me in BLACK ink on WHITE paper! Is that a racist dog whistle??"
I'm waiting for the super-crazies to call for a ban on the song "White Christmas" because it's "not about snow at Christmas - it's a rallying cry to white nationalists!!"
Start thinking rationally & stop listening to your looney, lefto professors.

Think rationally? You can choose to not view this as racism, and perhaps it's not since I have no idea what's in the heart of the OP, but you think it's thinking rationally to see someone of any race driving a new car and automatically conclude the only way he has that car is because someone gave it to him to play football?
That's an opinion formed with zero knowledge of Nolan Smith's family, what they do for a living, or anything to do with their situation at all. Maybe his parents or someone else in the family makes a lot of money? Maybe his family saved up money since he was born to pay for college, and since they don't have to pay for college now they decided to buy him a car instead? The OP and everyone else implying cheating here has no way of knowing any of this, but instead decided to form the opinion that Georgia must have given it to him, and that's thinking rationally to you?
In terms of thinking rationally, can we start discussing things like mature adults again instead of jumping to calling people snowflakes every time we don't agree with something?

Thats an $800+ car payment, not including a lot more in insurance. You're looking at $1,000 per month alone in monthly car payments between insurance and loan.
How many families can afford that exactly?

Like I said, I don't know his family situation. A lot of families can't afford that. However, I'm sure many families can't afford whatever your car or house payment is per month either. Everyone's situation is different. Maybe they make enough to afford that? Maybe they saved up for college that they now don't have to pay for so they were either able to buy the car in cash, or at least put a large down payment on it.
Or maybe he doesn't own the car at all? Maybe he was posing at a dealership or in someone else's car? Didn't we have some players or recruits a year or so ago that other fans were accusing us of giving cars to because they took photos with some nice cars, and it turns out they had only taken some pictures with the cars at the dealership?
Or heck, maybe he was paid off? All I'm saying is it bothers me when people jump to conclusions based on things they have no knowledge of.

Was white anyway. I don't know anybody of any color that could afford that car for their 18 year old.
If I did they probably wouldn't spend that much on their kid's car anyway.

Do you know what race the one's making the comments are? It is not a matter of the kid's race. It has to do with the fact that he is 18. Only a small percentage of really rich parents are going to buy their kid an equivalent vehicle at that age. I hope that is his situation, but his parents should understand that it was going to raise some eyebrows.

Just saw further down that his Dad played in the NBA, so it seems likely that his family likely falls into the really rich category. I did not know, and I doubt many of the posters did, either. I stand by my thoughts that most of the suspicion was due to his age and not his race.

Can you prove it? Look, I get it. Smells fishy. But some people have or come from money. Kids these days are spoiled and now his parents don’t have to pay for tuition, room/board, books etc that’s more than 75 over 4 years. Maybe it’s a gift. But likely a gift from his PARENTS. quit making us look paranoid.

fact of the matter is that uga or their boosters flew nolan home from school whenever he wanted to come home. be pretty easy to look it up. some of you googlers have at it. much like at the last minute cade mays family got a nice chunk of land down there for cade to hunt on. you can believe it or just stick your head in the sand. the ncaa does indeed have an idea what is going on down there. it dont happen overnight.

There have been rumors about Bama and UGA for years but to now, nothing has come out of it. I wasn't wealthy but very comfortable and I had an agreement with my daughter and son that if they got a scholarship to college, I would buy them a new car. My daughter got a track scholarship but decided not to take it (thus no car) and my son got a football scholarship, accepted it and got a new Mustang. A lot cheaper than paying for 4 years of college.

What's fishy to me is that this was posted 11 hours ago, fizzled out, and has suddenly in the past 30 minutes had a flood of posts defending UGA. TNet accuses other programs of cheating all the time, why is this the one post people have an issue with?

So you're saying that no family with a kid going to play college football can afford nice things unless it's given to them by the school they're going to play for? Is it a requirement to be poor in order to play college football?

They MIGHT have saved the $$$ to buy the car that way. Then again, nothing racist about saying a Staff that is recruiting 1980's style bought the dang car.
THERE'S a REASON CLEMSON STAFF WOULD NOT LET ANY UGA COMMITS ON CAMPUS THIS YEAR. Word is out.

This is the worst part of trying to engage on sites like this in football talk. Posters wanting to toss shade at other programs over recruitment and signings. SC does it to Clemson with the whole church thing and Clemson does it to UGA, apparently because Kirby raised the recruting over what Richt was doing. It's garbage. Dabo kills it every year, including pulling some of the best players out of Georgia. Not once have I ever assumed he had to cheat to do so.

I have to agree with you. It's not a Clemson thing, but something that seems to come from fans of every school. I'm sure cheating happens out there all the time, but it gets old seeing the fingers pointed each time a major recruit lands somewhere. It gets old seeing every fan base feel their school is the only one out there doing things the right way.
It gets old seeing the double standards, aka when your school flips a player that was committed to another school it means their coaching staff are great recruiters who continued to work hard, but when a commit or heavy lean to their school flips and commits somewhere else then it's fishy that the player suddenly changed his mind so obviously he was paid.

We shouldn't act like UGA isn't an appealing program. Maybe they do pay players...but maybe they don't. Who here has the proof? The burden of proof lies with the accuser.

the burden of proof lies with the ncaa. if you do not think the ncaa is not snooping around then maybe you should remove your head from that sand.

So what is your source or evidence the NCCA is snooping around UGA? Are they snooping around all top 10 recruiting teams or only the teams you hope they are?
