Problem: UF is trying to get this ban lifted so they can have their superstars hit the field in the play offs. The school and players are the ones with the problem in this case.

ReplyDeleteHey James, this was some great information. Let's hope that UF's proposal will go through, so we can see these stars play. I've been following Gator football for my entire life, and I am hoping that players like Van Jefferson, Trevon Grimes can play this upcoming season. As for your article, people are driving recklessly and it needs to stop. There's no point for speeding because you're aren't gaining that much time by doing so. Overall, good job and loved reading about the UF transfer ruling.
ReplyDeleteHey what’s up James, I thought your post had some pretty cool points! I really enjoyed the peace that talked about transfer student athletes being eligible to play the same year they transfer. Since I study sports at University, this article really intrigued me. Also, Also, the article that talked about And abundant amount of people are dying due to fatal accidents on the road was interesting. Although I really enjoyed the article, my initial thought was What does this have to do with businesses?
