I don't know how good the kid is but is it worth burning a bridge to the most successful player your football program ever produced? :doh:

Yeah pretty shortsighted if you ask me. It is not like UB is competing for National Championships, give the kid a scholarship & reap the rewards of having Mack in your corner.

It's an institution run by the state government of New York, and you're marveling at incompetent and stupid decisions?

This decision isn't from the SUNY hierarchy. It's from the dumbass head coach Lance Leipold. Mack was Jeff Quinn's guy.

 

Leipold was the winningest coach in D3 when UB hired him. I guess he thinks he's still in D3.

What's up with Mack's relationship with UB? I read an article that Tim Graham tweeted in maybe September or so - I never saw it in the paper. Graham kept trying to talk to Mack, and I think even went to camp - and Mack wanted nothing to do with UB anymore...............Then, during his phone conference before the Bills game, he said something like Sammy Watkins stole my city because he wanted to be drafted by the Bills and they Bills took Sammy one spot ahead.

I don't see anything remotely wrong with this if it actually opened up a spot for someone more deserving. There is no reason that any program should "owe" it to a former player to recruit their siblings. I know nothing about Mack's brother. He might be a great football player, but if UB didn't see him as a fit there is nothing wrong with that imo. Apparently people find it a shocker when neopotism actually fails.

World we live in.

 

Exactly. Shameful. Not saying his brother HAS to help him out... But how much $$$ is Mack making, yet he wants his Bro on a free ride. If anything, there are more deserving players out there that actually need the scholarship!

 

He can't scratch up one game check for his brother's tuition?

 

Not saying he has to play fast and loose with his money either.

 

Why sports is turning me off.

I found the article by Tim Graham, who I know used to talk about seeing Mack, I believe even after he graduated, all the time at Duff's or some other place by the UB campus:

 

http://buffalonews.com/2016/09/03/khalil-mack-creates-separation-on-the-field-he-did-the-same-for-this-story/

"Mack is drawing a sweet salary. His four-year, $18.6 million rookie contract is fully guaranteed. Oakland gave him an $11.9 million signing bonus."

 

And he can't send his Bro to school for 1% of that? If that over 4 years. ??

Maybe it's not the money.

I'm starting to think that Mack's brother isn't good enough to get accepted to the school at all.
