Big23Head Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 We all get hyped up and always want our team to win, which is how it should be. But we wonder why some kids don't work out and some can't hang in school or other various outcomes. Below is a good reminder that you never know what is happening in other people's lives a lot of times and in recruiting they are just kids. Bryce Gowdy had gotten into GT and was going to enroll early. ND had looked into him as well. Very sad ending to his story. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Teen football star Bryce Gowdy faced slew of struggles before his suicide, family says <a href="https://t.co/DTpY7kL8O6">https://t.co/DTpY7kL8O6</a> <a href="https://t.co/oTtXz0YMN9">pic.twitter.com/oTtXz0YMN9</a></p>— South Florida Sun Sentinel (@SunSentinel) <a href=" ">January 1, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieAngel Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I followed this story as well. Sad stuff, it is a solid reason for the NCAA to pay players, at least something. If this kid's family wasn't living in their car then he might be starting classes at GT right now. Tragic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldnt have been getting paid yet anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrown_9999 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 He wasnt enrolled in school yet. He wouldnt have been getting paid yet anyway But if he knew that he could help them out once he started in January, it might have made a difference.

Im not blaming the ncaa on this one. He obviously had a lot of demons if he was willing to do this. This runs deep. A little extra cash would not be the fix imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDhoosier Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 But if he knew that he could help them out once he started in January, it might have made a difference. People with money commit suicide. I have seen many arguments for why college students should be paid. All of them are bad, but this... is among the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
