Why is one players ring worth more then another? I don't get that. Besides it is their ring do as you please..... Fucked up situation.

If you haven't seen it yet, watch the 30 for 30 on SMU. That will really piss you off. Accurately depicts how the NCAA used to be about integrity, and how now they are nothing but money hungry pieces of shit. The best part of all, is Dan Bebe was the investigator that handed out the death penalty to SMU, and now he's the fucking head of the NCAA, trying to sweep the Cam Newton deal under the rug. It's all about money.

Heard it also makes Dickerson come off as a stuck up prick. Haven't seen it yet

Cam Newton gets busted mid-season and nothing happens. Don't act so surprised about this. The NCAA is about as corrupt as our politicians, if not more so.

I don't think it did. Every time he was asked whether he took money or not, how he got that trans am, etc; was the same response every time. "My grandmother bought that car. That's it." He had a smug, half smirk on his face when he said it, but I don't think it made him come off like a stuck up prick. I'd say Craig James did quite the good job at that. Of course he took the fucking money. But why does he have to admit it?


It was irritating though, how they treated their own (Craig James). Never once asked him if he took money, etc. And he was one of the main ones! They just didn't want to tarnish his image. Fucking pussy.

[pHILSANITY07]

Beebe is the Big 12(-2) commisioner.

They should just enact the suspensions the day after they graduate, that way the Buckeyes will be able to live up to the top 5 pre season ranking they'll be sure to get.

I guess Ohio state didn't pay off the NCAA enough.

They should have sought consulation from Auburn.

"My dad sold all that stuff. I had no idea." Pryor said.

Seriously, it is his own stuff. Why is he being suspended for selling his own stuff?

AND, why are they paying up to $2500 to a charity? WTF? How can the NCAA force and expect an UNPAID player to pay $1000 to $2500 to a charity?

This is all retarded.

[mstng86]

haha ESPN asked Craig James about the situation. Yea, he has a good opinion on all this.

[A_A_G]

Pryor should tell them to fuck off and enter the NFL draft.

It's all about money man. Bowl ticket sales, bowl game merchandise, bowl revenue, TV revenue etc..... they can't suspend star players before bowl games or no one will watch them.

Stop thinking the NCAA is about anything besides money and you'll understand things much better.

I understand perfectly. They'd rather slap a university on the wrist than actually punish them. Their will never be another death penalty brought down on a University again, so why would anybody be scared to do wrong?
