I stopped counting, but it seems like probably 15-20 Canes names on today's list. Hopefully some of them get picked up elsewhere or signed to practice squads. Even Winston got cut (that one doesn't bother me a bit), but the rest were guys who for the most part never lived up to their potential here and so not that surprised other than by the sheer # of guys packing their bags.

It's Al's fault for helping get some of them in camps. Sarcasm

I hope some (or all) these guys got their degrees or plan on coming back to get them.
The day comes for them all and you hope they have no lasting damage.

This is why you really need to take school seriously and get a degree you can use. The numbers are not in your favour regardless if you're a 5 star or 2 star.

It's basically the starting lineups of the 2012-13 Canes. It's staggering.

But hey at least Donna looks good with her APR and grad rates. You people are fools if you think these kids are better off with their meaningless degree than they would have been if they were in a program that actually cared about developing talent. Shalala pats herself on the back, but when this many kids from one period are failing, it means their program failed them.

Their degree means about as much as one from any football school; not much. Stop thinking that Donna did these kids a service. They came here on the promise of winning and developing, and our admin failed an entire generation of Canes in those respects, while cashing TV game checks and reporting APR results.

I'm DONE blaming the 18 year olds for the failures of the adults. This **** is sad.
 
Just shows a lot of the players in the last decade we had could never live up to potential

So it looks like the Bills couldn't get much out of Gaines as some thought they would once he got better coaching.

I'm not surprised at all. Were we watching the same dudes the last couple of yrs or not???

Everyone I seen making a squad did and vice versa. You can't be average in the NFL.

Hopefully they come back to school and get their degrees.

What a total load of crap. Do you really believe the **** you just posted, or are you trolling?

These guys know going in that only a handful of players make it to the NFL. Something like 2% of all CFB players. So don't give me this crap that it's Donna's and Al's fault.

You want to change the system? Do away with CFB entirely and make a minor league system in which these kids don't have to get a degree. Till then, you're **** right that Donna and all the other presidents are doing these kids a favor.

Well I hope this was a lease. Oh well, at least he didn't re-injure those glass ankles for us by taking any unnecessary hits. Gotta look on the bright side.
