Did you ever get a ticket going 74 in a 70 zone? Were you happy being held accountable?
To make that analogy, you would have to know what rule he broke, right?
But, no, I've never been ticketed for that. Usually, tickets are written for going faster than 4 miles over the limit, you know, something more serious.

And who cares about $20k in the big scheme?
Most people.
Not those from Haddonfield.
So you would be unhappy if you got a ticket for going 4 over.
Correct.

Sure. So tell us what "minor" rule he broke that is the equivalent to going 4 over.
According to Seth it’s his teammates fault

Back to the accountability thing, I guess.
Anyway, that wasn't my question. My question was which rule did he break?
You expect him or his coach to tell some random people?

No, I expect you to tell us. You're the one that said it's the equivalent to going 4 over, so it must just be a minor infraction.
If it really was a minor infraction for which he was unjustly suspended, then I believe he would tell people and the story would get out. Yet, that isn't the case. A minor infraction leads to enough of a suspension for which he feels he needs to change schools? Not buying it.
Good luck.

No, I expect him not to lie about it on a running message board. People don’t get kicked out of school for the equivalent of going 4 miles over the speed limit, numbnuts.
And they certainly don’t run crying to the local D3 school, pissing their pants about how unfair it is and then expect everyone to be nice to them.

I find myself torn. I try to put myself into the running shoes of the individual in question. The coaches at Iowa State went through the team with a buzz saw after last year and forced a number of the existing athletes out while picking a number of foreign athletes off of the proverbial menu.
If I were an American teenager on scholarship and the coach basically established the principle of produce or be replaced by an older foreign athlete, how would I react? When I found myself in that position, the answer was no (of course, I would not have had the money or knowledge of where to begin and the foreigners I was competing against weren’t pros). I simply transferred to a cheaper school. It is a new dynamic. I won’t judge this kid too harshly.
lovely look, worse be replaced by an african elite, age group cheat, and ped user.
id not allow foreigners over age to compete their first year. or make elegibility up to age 23 for anyone.
and limit foreign scholarships.
Great kid. Wishing him the best.
Yknow this probably wouldn’t be as big of an issue it is now if he just came out saying his side of the story without violating any possible NDAs. Now he has a target on his back with all of the top guys in d3
That is a good thing. He wants some competition.
He is not disgraced. He is quite happy.

Lmao his only way of getting competition was doping this making everyone mad that he can still comepte
Everyone slings doping allegations at Hoey
but only on Seth threads do you have people talk about “libel” and “getting sued”
the haddonfield way
guess that shows the difference between rich and track in your backyard rich

And exactly what kind of NDA's do you expect that he would have signed? And for what and to protect who? What did he get out of signing said NDA's?
Stoopid take.
If I was in Seth’s position I’m switching up on EVERYONE from Iowa state publicly
