We are mourning the death of a truly outstanding young man who just died today. And you want to bring that kind of crap speculation up? Good gosh man.

My understanding is that there is a specified number of spring practice sessions dictated by the NCAA. Ours was scheduled to begin on Feb 8th. The unfortunate incident occurred the day before at a team conditioning workout that is allowed for weightlifting, etc. This sort of thing has been going on for years in my understanding and is perfectly legal.Paladin91 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 8:21 pmAny word on whether this was an official team practice?

Just my opinion but I don't think it's the appropriate time to be asking this question. All focus should be on bringing peace and healing to his family, teammates, and coaches.Paladin91 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 8:21 pmAny word on whether this was an official team practice?

I’m thankful the hospital allowed the team, Furman officials and President Davis to be there for Bryce and his family. I can’t imagine their pain. Please keep the family and all involved in our prayers.The Jackal wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:46 amThis is truly tragic. Listening to Donnelly's comments, it appears the team was allowed to be at the hospital with him and Dr. Davis was able to confer upon him his Furman degree.
My heart goes out to his family, teammates, and students at the university.
I too don't wish for this kind of stuff to come up now. I saw a national sports reporter asking questions while Bryce was still on life support. I suppose it his job, but I personally thought it was lacking in grace in every way. That said, the questions will be there. For me, I think its important to thing about a few things.Jasper wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 9:17 pmMy understanding is that there is a specified number of spring practice sessions dictated by the NCAA.
