This won’t be popular but all that college kids care about these days is winning... outside of the FBS Power 5, they give very little credence to Conference prowess. And I speak from being part of a collegiate conference transition change, as well as coaching players who are going on to the next level. They would rather come back for winter break and tell their friends they went 9-2 than say “We went 6-5... but it was in a really good conference.” All that to say if YSU went to a smaller conference and dominated, it would probably actually help recruiting. As long as we still had the same facilities and the amenities we have now.
Honestly, FCS would benefit from spreading the wealth. There are two conferences inside the MVFC and almost every season 6 or 7 teams in the conference are playoff caliber. It is just deflating for the division when you don’t have a real quality game until the quarterfinals. That’s when the true playoff begins.
Listen, I like the MVFC but as proud as I am of the fact that we play in a tough conference... no one outside the people on this board and those in the stands at stambaugh care about that. Their bottom line is did you win a lot of games and what did you do in the playoffs.
This course of events should not surprise anybody. Contrary to what some believe, the United States operates under the rule of law. Depriving a duly registered student of access to a campus activity SOLELY because others objected to his participation was an action that would never stand up in court. So the mess continues, and the university administration brought this all upon themselves by pandering to the mob. And for the fifth time let me say that I am not happy that this character came here.
People are stupid. There are many other things to worry about than this stupid issue. The kid did his time and in America that means you are free. He still has to register where he lives under our laws.
At what point did we turn into a socialism or communism? After you pay the price by doing time and have to deal with reputation /perception that will challenge you forever you continue to be judged are are not permitted to have the freedom of everyone else? WTF people. Seriously? This is stupid and all political. Some twenty something retard is driving this because they have no life and will never hold an important job or position in our society. This is their 2 min of fame, their flash in the pan before they become some sort of social worker. This is as dumb as the motjerfuclers that want to bring in Syrian refugees. We have a right to keep them out for as long as we want because they aren't citizens. However, since this kid is a citizen he has rights that are being taken away but the godamned communists don't understand it. They should do something productive not destructive. What are the ends to the mean here? I will tell you. NOTHING. They will only try to destroy a person with issues that have taken him partly down that road. What ******* consequence will come if he plays? Nothing. But if he doesn't play it only hurts him. Good for the judge. I'm glad I don't live there anymore. Town is running around with f'img morons now.
These protesting ********s need a lesson in civics, government, and history because they are coming from the dark ages where they clearly belong. This is Salem witch trial bullsh**.
To the morons in the dim range of the IQ scale answer me this.......do you think his individual rights are being violated? How would you like it if I shamed you on social media and got a petition against you because you are a w****? Being a w**** is illegal and it would really suck if you were the husband of the w****. But let's just say the w**** was jailed and served her time. Now the w**** wants to get a drivers license but now I protest it. What the he'll does that have to do with anything?
You are just a bunch of retards. This has nothing to do with football. Nothing.
Hunter messed up but he outplayed the USC 5th year rent a qb for Pitt.
Hunter Wells is very bad at quarterbacking. Every time he doesn't throw an interception is a minor miracle.
Replace him with?Fumble fingers #7? Broke arm MO transfer or run till you get your head tore off new WR??
He's won more than he lost. go root for another team "IF" you don't like him.
Carry on
This is what kills me about you and EVERYONE else who signed it.
"I think the vast majority signed it because they didn't want a gang rapist on the football team."
But it is OK with all of you that he can walk around the campus as a NON "Student-Athlete" and go to class EVERY ******* DAY OF THE WEEK. Are you people ******* SERIOUS?
And he can walk around this country with a big "Y" on his shirt or a "YSU" on his shirt and that's NOT bringing any negativity to the university because he was in juvy for 12 months? Once again, ARE YOU ******* KIDDING ME???
Either way, he's repping YSU....pick the acceptable one.....WTF!!!!!
He is a current student at YSU. YSU has the policy for EEO and non-discrimination (see university policy below)
Youngstown State University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, disability, age, religion or veteran/military status in its programs or activities.
I read this three times and I don't see "previous violent criminal offenses" listed as one of the things YSU can't "discriminate" on. If there is something illegal or against university policy for baring this kid from playing on the team, I haven't quite seen it yet.
The action has to be taken based on university rules and regulations rather than emotions. If he is kick off the football team for this, somebody will either issue another petition or file a law suit against the University for Race Discrimination because he (an African American) was singled out for exclusion. I would assume some of you people (who signed the original petition) would sign this one too.
As someone who signed the petition, I can assure you I won't be signing some other petition if he manages to get kicked off the team. Suggesting as such is silly.
Comments to your first Point:
You are correct. since as you said, YSU does not have it in writing specifically for "previous violent criminal offenses", then YSU really cannot discriminate against anything. University cannot manufacture a cause to prohibit certain students whom they want to exclude from participating in university sponsored programs.
Using your logic, I did not see a statement said "university can prohibit students from activities from previous violent criminal offenses" either
Comments to your second point:
The first petition is not done in the interests of the university. It try to force the university to act on issues that are not in line (or violating) with their own policy. If and when there is second petition (for race discrimination) initiated against the university, why would you not sign it since, in your mind, the university is doing something wrong again.
Let me ask you this, do you know for sure the reasons why other people (might not be you) sign the petition? How could we even know if some of them sign it because they are bias on his race?

This is complete bulls _ _ _ Football players are "student" athletes and are NO BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE. As an alum. wearing YSU gear, with YSU golf bag and club covers and a ton of hats, I REPRESENT YSU ALSO. Does anybody have any issues WHATSOEVER about how Richmond has represented YSU in his year and a half? You have rules for admission. If this kid meets the requirements, then he is admitted. Full status. We don't have different levels of students, and we don't enforce those rules randomly as some here would like. Most of you are former YSU students. Didn't you learn anything is school or life about fair play? IMO you guys are patsies for the anti-YSU editiorial staff of the Vindy.How much press did this kid receive after he enrolled at YSU? If he hadn't walked on to the playing field, would their still be a petition to prevent him from receiving an education only? Doubt it !
Ummm...the letter accompanying the petition says they are fine with him trying to better himself as a student, but shouldn't receive the elevated status of representing the school on the football field.
