Thatâs if itâs his choice.
Mind you iâd say DIT which is a little disjointed anyway is not like playing for UCC or UCD where there is alot of history and itâs alot of craic.
Brian will get his scholarship back by backing himself to win young footballer of the year

Is that priced up anywhere?
Itâs grand to play it like, itâs better than training and Iâm sure itâs a bit of craic alright but nobody has ever grown up dreaming of representing Mary I or UCC or NUIG in the Fitzgibbon/Sigerson.
Whereas representing your county⌠or even your club, thatâs something thatâs with you from a very young age and drives a lot of people on to become the players they are.
Honan actually talked about it recently, he was in UCC, and he dismissed the college competitions compared to club/county. Which is obviously understandable. I think most county players wouldnât play if it werenât for the money factor to be honest; they wouldnât be allowed by their managers. But youâd be mad to turn down a scholarship, college can give you a lot of free time for hurling/football that you wouldnât have if youâre working.

Thatâs a load of cock.
You clearly know little about that game.
Not all county players get scholarships for 1.
Of course County is no.1.
But thatâs hardly the debate here. They should not be made choose.
Players are liable for return of scholarship if they break rules you know.
The main point is there should be no clash. The playing of David Clifford twice now is particularly stupid and short sighted and selfish
???
Bizarre outburst?
I donât think you disagreed with anything I said?
I know little about what game? The college game? Iâm not that long out of college; a good of my friends would have played for various teams.
And I know players are liable for return of scholarship?? I didnât say anything to suggest that⌠or about Clifford, of course he shouldnât have played. And there should be no clash, again obviously, but the GAA have literally just re-organised the intercounty season; there is no part of the year where there wouldnât be some sort of clash.
I dunno, maybe you were replying to another message?

Heâs dead right. County before place where you to get an education.
Agree fully.
To think they scrapped the u21 Championship to keep Sigerson in its current format. Ridiculous.
County players should not be playing University football. Most people have to take out loans and work part time jobs to fund their university studies, GAA players get this fee thanks to their paid hobby. I see another Mayo student received a brand new car free of charge.
Agreed. He should drop back in the scholarship this morning to prove his point.
Thought shit for universities. They shouldnât be spending public money on that nonsense in the first place.
Say wha?
If they give these guys scholarships for a hobby then they deserve all the hard luck possible. Entry to universities should be on academic grounds only.

What about other sporting scholarships?
Same principle.
All sports?
Yes. Thatâs what I said.
In just Ireland or all Universities around the world?
Just because you owe the British Government a fortune to pay for your qualification doesnât mean we all do. In the south most get their education for the minimum.
All.
My debts are paid back.
It is no wonder youâre all entitled snowflakes down here.
