the sweater probably told the basketball team about this great tattoo parlor that does free work for jerseys and the team was just tired.
Could be.
Shit's rampant everywhere right now. HBO special was a damned joke. 34 universities under investigation. Blow it all up.
during the glory days of college football it was paid ringers who jumped from school to school and got paid (i say glory days because michigan and notre dame were good and
you were not)
there is no way to expect to expect things to be on the level when the
NCAA makes 680 mil just from tv deals. sure this is total sports, add in the major sports revenues from games and memorabilia/clothes this number could double, but just throw that kind of money around and the players are bound to end up with some in their pockets. probably rightly so as long as their entire athletic programs are funded fuck it.
LOL OSU GOT BUSTED DUMB FUCKS
Oh, I know it happens, and has happened for a long time. It's just now it's far too easy to get caught doing something wrong. Also some of the rules are just plain moronic. I'm sorry, but if you want to sell your own personal property, then by all means go ahead. I personally wouldn't be selling gameday gear or memorabilia for a tatoo, but whatevs.
And this is far from over. I feel the hammer is going to start coming down, hard, on a lot of universities. Supposedly the guy who broke the OSU story (Tress emails), has two stories about other universities in the pipeline. He said on a scale of 1 to 10, one is a 7, the other is a 9 or a 10. I'm wondering what those will be. Part of me thinks his 7 was the HBO special that maybe he got scooped on.
