Maybe now some of these people can let go of how much we lost out on when he couldn't qualify.

As I've said for years now, dodged bullet...

I agree, he was a man and takes responsibility for his actions.

I hope he follows through and graduates.

Is it just me, or foes it feel like Mike Ford has been in school for the better part of a decade? He was a Shula recruit right?

Under CNS, his story might read very differently right now. Sadly, he did not qualify and played for others who could not keep him from flying off of the tracks...

No it is not just you. I thought he was history as USF about 3-4 years ago. It is the classic case of having all the physical tools but either not smart enough or just cannot adjust to big time college football. I do wish him well though.

It has to be tough for a kid with learning disabilities to juggle college and athletics. I was surprised we kept trying to get him enrolled as long as we did. It goes to show how hard recruiting was for our former coach.

:BigA:

I was just thinking the same thing. Seems like he's been in school forever...
