Good luck to Luke. Winner. Might be my favorite Akron QB.

Especially given the fact that Harris wouldn't give him a release, which meant Akron had to wait a year to give him a scholarship. This forced him to pay out of state tuition in his first year here when he was sitting out and running the scout team, not to mention he had to cover his own living expenses. I don't know, but if a guy set me back 20k just because he wanted to be a d#@k, I'd have some "hard feelings".

Does your football/penis envy have to come through on every thread?

Penis envy? I love penis! It's more of a massive eye roll that you guys pity the poor football player who actually has to pay tuition AND cover his own living expenses. I mean, god forbid they don't get everything handed to them. Because of Title IX the other male teams get less scholarship money than even their female counter parts. Many of the non-football male athletes have to do the same. So why don't you guys pity the track athletes too? And don't give me that crap about football being the biggest money maker, cause it's also the program that is the furthest in the red.

Good for Luke to be able to put it in his past and move on. That's probably one of the reasons why he will succeed.

Because football is a real sport not a place where you can see who the best at exercising is.

Getsy is a real good D1 quarterback and a genius in the sport of football; he would sit coach only meetings as a player. He should have never had to pay for school. The way the system is Football gets full rides in D1a . But Harris would not sign to release him so anybody would be mad if I got charged a year of tuition when they should not have to.

Id like to see you do even a fraction of what the track athletes can do. Just because they are better than you in terms of athleticism but dont participate in your "favorite" sport doesnt mean you can beat them down like that.

Also, I believe this man would like to have a word with you

Thanks for your input Mrs. Getsy.

I have to go with the chick on this one. I make fun of the gun shooting team a lot and it's not because I have vagina envy. I love vagina. Its more a massive eye roll that some folks actually think gun shooting is a sport.

lol got to stick up for my husband . Bolt I will be impressed with that number when you run that in full pads, not running in a straight line, show some lateral quickness threw some athletes that want your head, after you caught a ball. But Bolt your still the fastest guy on a treadmill. Sorry track fans I know your athletes, just I hope some day the schools think your athletic enough to get full scholarships. I didn't know I would cause this much controversy just trying to stick up for one of my all time favorite Zips Getsy, who led us to out sole MAC ship.

Ok, how about the men's soccer athletes. They don't all get full rides and they're a national contender in the most popular sport in the world. That's more than just running on a treadmill.

90% of all male soccer players are just jockeys who can't ride horses.
