Why the **** were they scrimmaging a few days before fall camp starts? 
Doesn’t make any sense. Blatant disregard for the rules that’s like any extra game. Probably cost him his jobWhy the **** were they scrimmaging a few days before fall camp starts?

On X they kept calling it an "illegal early scrimmage"
That may be strong, but clearly not part of standard fall

We really gotta be careful how we handle this now. I don't know the plan but really hope when everyone starts pulling his offers now that we still keep him on. Dropping him would have a lot of blowback.

Doubt we drop him. We're aware of the repercussions, plus, the kid is too talented to afford that.
He'll heal up and we'll make it work.
I agree. I feel bad for the kid. Everybody is put in a bad spot on this situation. You gotta still take him and pray he has a great recovery. He’s coming from your great pipeline in your city, you gotta protect your relationships

Compound fractures (I'm hoping for a great recovery for him no matter what the extent)are not some easy process. It's a long LONG road. A guarantee (if it is a compound fracture)he's got at least two years ahead of him till we can count on him in any capacity. Add to that no way in **** he's gonna have his nil in place that was agreed to. I'm interested to see how this plays out.

Agreed, best hope now is that his fracture doesn't attract any infections pre- or post-surgery. But medicine has come a long way, avg. recovery is about 15 months.
However, Miami Central is going to be in some rough water now. Talk about ruining your schools reputation with stupid **** like that. I hope that kid has a decent lawyer at hand.

Rashean Mathis broke his leg in highschool, which resulted in him losing all of his D1-A scholarship offers. He turned around and ended up as an All-Pro. I hope we stay on this kid.

Well this is a punch to the gut
The NIL piece of this is interesting. Even with a scholarship limit I would expect UM to honor his scholarship for the reasons everyone cited, but also because it is good PR to make sure everyone knows UM stands by its commits when this type of thing happens.
But NIL is different as there must be a limited NIL budget and like any athlete, an injury impacts earning potential until the athlete overcomes the injury. I would like to think that keeping his scholarship in place is what Wallace and his family are realistically hoping for.
This is what we need to ask you. Forget the injury for a moment. With 100 people or more in attendance it’s not like this would have remained a secret. So why is this scrimmage worth the risk, and what is the penalty for doing it?Why the **** were they scrimmaging a few days before fall camp starts?
