KeSean Brown Not Happy with APP FB

[AppSt94]

If this is really the case, why is he seemingly so mad about it? Did he not realize that the scholarship was in exchange for his playing football? This thing is so weird to me.

Brown should know that his free education was for playing football. He could not have really expected App to pay that expense this spring while he is not on the roster.

Again, they did not pull his scholarship for spring semester. His scholarship (as with all athletic scholarships) was for the entire academic school year.

They pulled it for next year. He chose to leave for spring semester.

My understanding is that the staff wanted him to return for next year until he chose to enter the portal. He could have returned next year, on scholarship, but he chose not to.

He was welcome to maintain on the team for next year. When he chose to not do so, they pulled his scholarship.

So basically, he “stripped” himself of a scholarship.

I would say that sounds like a "you can't fire me because I quit" situation - or I guess "you can't quit, you're fired" in this case - but I've seen the less mysterious explanation of the situation now, so it makes sense.

I edited my last post. They outlined a plan for him to retain the scholarship. He declined to follow said plan. Scholarship was stripped for next year. He could have maintained spring but chose not to.

So, yes, he stripped himself of the scholarship.

He wasn't at App four years. He played four football seasons. He was here 3.5 years. He's saying App pulled his scholarship for that final semester because he announced his plans to go elsewhere for grad school and his covid bonus season.

That's what I have heard from several different sources.

I have heard that as well but I don’t get why he would be upset by that. There has to be more to it. It makes zero sense for us to want him back and he decide he wants to enter portal but gets upset at us claiming we took his scholarship. Based on that story he was the one who declined the scholarship for next year.

It’s a “woe is me” world. People are always looking to be the “victim”. Getting way more support on Twitter from his story than he would from “App actually had expectations I had to meet and I didn’t want to so I quit”

My point is that he had to enter the portal. Read what AppStateNews said. He said we pulled his scholarship for 2023. Our coaches told him he was not welcomed back for next year, for whatever reason, he got mad, and decided to enter portal now rather than wait until after he graduated, which makes sense he would because why stick around when he can get a jump on his new team and be there for the spring. Some are saying he was wanted back for 2023 and I don’t believe that to be the case. Him being told he was not welcome back would be good reason for him to be mad. He wouldn’t be mad and accuse us of pulling his scholarship if he chose to leave on his own and we wanted him back.

My theory is that he did something but people in the building take the high road and won’t throw him under the bus for it. I have doubts about some things Shawn has done but one thing I don’t doubt is the fact he is a good man who takes the high road.

Appstatenews said there was a plan outlined for him to return next year and he declined so he hit the portal.

Exactly. They outlined a plan for him. It included several things including academics, weight room, playbook studies, etc. He didn't agree to said plan for whatever reason (I have my ideas but are only ideas and not confirmed so I won't share) so staff pulled the scholarship for next year.

**Edited to add** Brown went in to the meeting informing staff he was interested in testing the waters of the portal. So, his intention was to transfer any way. The staff basically said "we want you back, but this is what you'll have to do." Brown rejected the plan.

Every player has a plan laid out for them to retain their scholarship for the next year when they do end of year interviews.

Agreed. I’d say it’s pretty clear his version of the story isn’t the whole truth.

Character always shines through, and honestly at this point, he went out of his way to bad mouth the coaches and our program…. Goodbye, and good riddance. Probably a case of addition by subtraction.

GO APPS!!

The way he put the entire program under the bus just confirms he wasn't ready to take the next step the staff wanted him to take. It's a shame, but if he's not all in, next man up.

He was given a plan to maintain on the team and scholarship for next year. When he chose to not accept the plan outlined, they pulled his scholarship.

That is on him then. He can’t get mad for this but when a player needs to make changes they typically don’t see that they are causing issues. We will see what happens with Marshall.

Did they at least let you keep your swingline stapler?

I did keep my 'red' Swingline stapler and I'm proud of it. My boss picked it up but I ended up getting it back!

Someone said that there are always two sides to the story. I like the one that says there are often 3 sides- yours, mine and the truth. In this case sounds like the young man was indeed given a plan, got swept up in the delusion aspect of the portal and expected for the staff to change the plan. Good luck to you.
