SOURCE: Mississippi State sophomore WR Creed Whittemore plans to redshirt 2024 season
A major contributor at wide receiver for Mississippi State is no longer available for the rest of the season.
Whitmore Redshirting 2024 season
- Thread starter PapaDawg
- Start date
He gone, and honestly I don't blame him. He's electric with the ball and yet we rarely ever get him the ball.
They really make it harder and harder to care for college football.
Contracts or no NIL donations. Or no fans for that matter. This is stupid.
ETA: You ******** shaming people for not donating KNOW this. Somewhere, deep down inside, you do.

Man I hate to see it. He's dang good and tough. We have a crowded room at WR. Seems like when a new coach comes in there has to be personnel changes. He probably felt like an odd man out since Lebby didn't recruit him. Seems like I dislike modern sports a little more everyday.
This honestly might do it for me. This really isnt fun anymore. In the past i would have been livid we were this terrible and Ole miss was this good. I honestly don’t care. This is just idiotic.
Even if state got a donation of epic proportions and went out and bought the best team ever for next year, who cares? It would honestly feel empty. I really dont like this at all.

The only response is to cancel your TV subscriptions. Nothing else will matter.
Or don't watch. They count the people that watch the TV ads. Advertisers won't pay low numbers.

Screw this. My level of caring goes down by the day.
Yeah. I don’t think I’ll ever care about Mississippi State football like I once did. I already don’t care about the rest of college football. But really, it’s not like this makes a difference. It’s not like we ever used him like we should have anyway.
I don’t even blame the players. I mean, we can harp about loyalty to teammates, but the design is flawed and the incentives are wrong. We’re getting what the current system is designed to deliver.
GIVE US MoRe! Hell no! This is one of many reasons why. They just want even more and have no loyalty to the school they come play for and signed up for. Give me the NFL all day over this crap that has happened to college football. When fans stop showing up and stop watching there will be no money except the biggest schools and then they will have their super league of football.

I don't watch a bunch of Minor League Baseball and I love baseball...Minor League Football sucks.
I'll go ahead and mention that a white WR quits when the white QB is out for the season, replaced by a black QB. Purely speculation but someone somewhere will bring it up at some point. Birds of a feather quit together, stay together. I've seen it before on teams I've played on many years ago.
Don’t go there. Just don’t.
I think he sees the writing on the wall with Craver taking his playing time.
He had to have the highest ratio of impact plays to touches of anyone on the team. It’s criminal how little we’ve gotten him the ball.
I’m honestly having a hard time being mad at him.

What a 17tard you are. Not that we didn't know that already
Sir, this is a Wendy's. or something
well damn. Guess I won’t be posting this in the game threads any longer.
ETA: lol I didn’t read the second part

I don't blame them for playing the sytem either. However, my biggest concern was just other teams poaching players. Now, we have players quitting, not even in the middle of the season. Wow. 17 it all.
There has been some really dumb **** posted on this board. I mean some really dumb ****. All of those posts look like Einstein wrote them compared to this.
So redshirts are now a last resort now to preserve a year of eligibility. Imagine the phone calls happening tonight and tomorrow before the 5th game. Isn't that when you have to quit by?
What am I missing from this list
What am I missing from this list
- Ain't paying enough
- Ain't playing enough
- Don't vibe with the team (for WHATEVER reason)
- Provided girlfriend broke up with me
- Don't like my roommate anymore
- Coach at another school called and made big promises
- New girlfriend at new school
- Family misses me or got paid to get me to redshirt
Lot's of bruised labia in college football

Like I said in the other thread, the quick solution is to abolish redshirting altogether and let everyone just have 5 years to play 5.
It doesn't fix the transfer problem completely, but it at least puts an end to quitting after 4 games.

I'm honesty enjoying this. I hope about 300 players sit out and redshirt this year. Especially since NCAA/legislators screwed up a good college sport.
Contracts are coming next season. Bet on it. Once there are contracts, there will be limits instead of verbal promises. Salary caps will soon follow. And then thank God, the draft should happen - players will get to match with up to 10 schools that can then draft them. I guess we will see a franchise tag in college football next.
Until then, respect their decision and do not slander these young men. They have (cut and paste) decided to open up theirwallets recruiting again. Need to feel loved and appreciated.

I guess my question is how does it align with the scholarship money and academic eligibility? Seems like the easy way to police this would be to eliminate these kids from being eligible at the next stop, or at least forcing them to pay tuition for the full semester and revoking their scholarship.
Example - athletic scholarship requires full participation for each calendar year, or until graduation….whichever comes sooner. If you quit outside of the designated transfer portal windows, scholarship is revoked and all tuition for at least the previous calendar year must be repaid. Or, scholarship athletes are not granted an early academic withdrawal date. If they enroll at all, they must finish the semester. If they do not, they fail all coursework, and are automatically ineligible at the next stop. So, if someone wants to quit midseason but still retain eligibility, they gotta pay their own way for at least the current and previous semester, and they have to stay enrolled as full time students and pass their classes.

2 year contracts. In house. Salary levels set by the conferences.
NIL will just be icing on the cake.

If only we could sign a new transfer QB by the deadline...........

Greg Byrne was no different. Left MSU to go back to Arizona in order to be close to aging parents and/or other family....or something like that. Then a year or two later returns to the Tuscaloosa football powerhouse 90 miles to the east of us. Pure greed always wins.
