It is the same concept as the library...or at least it's supposed to be. I thought the allegations were that student athletes were getting their free books and instead of returning them, they were SELLING them to other people therefore turning a profit. Am I wrong on that?

Zero dollars and zero cents were involved in any of the book violations. They were getting books for their friends. It has been made rather clear than no money changed hands. I'm certain that most don't believe that. I probably wouldn't if the roles were reversed.

Correct. If you read the report from UA, the NCAA agreed with them that no money every changed hands between anybody. This was confirmed through questioning from the UA staff and NCAA investigators. At the time of the report, all books had either been returned or were paid for in full by any student athlete involved.

If all this is the case...you guys have nothing to worry about. Good luck with that!

Who then sold them and laundered the money.

Can I depend on you guys to not give me a hard time when the NCAA ruling is handed down?

You are in luck, partially anyway. Most of the guys on this board are incapable of giving ANYONE a hard time without pharmaceutical intervention...

But as for me? You can depend on me to remind you every time you show up around here that you are an inbred white trash fuckstick from the Ham. Take your pleas for sympathy and shove them up your ass along with your "feelings" - damn, boy, I done told you once this ain't no gotdamm Dr. Phil show...

Shut up. BITCH!

I thought they were trading them straight up for cars in Gadsden.

Well honestly, a book does hold around the same value as a car in this new and improved economy. I say it's totally fair.

Ever consider that the friends got the books at a fraction of the cost with the stipulation they had to be returned at the end of semester? Kinda like renting the book.
Then the player/students involved lied about receiving cash.

Just a side note. I personally don't give a flying fuck about textbook fondling or whatever the hell they did. I think student athletes deserve a little spending cabbage anyway. Scholarships are worth a shitload of money and value that can't be measured...(If they choose to take advantage of it) But, these athletes are making quasi-skwazillions for the school too. They need a little peel off to be able to go to the movies, take a date out to eat, have a beer if they so choose...Hell, selling my textbooks at the end of a semester was straight up buttah, baby. $26.32 cash money in hand. 6-pack and a dime bag...good times.

Now, if coaches or boosters or whoever are paying recruits, buying cars, givin' mama a house or remodeling her kitchen...fuck em'. You're breaking the rules. You're cheating like I did on my Chemistry final. You deserve to go down.

But textbooks? Please. It's almost embarrassing to make fun of that.

It's criminal that they make money off of each players likeness every year (NCAA football 2010) and they aren't compensated for it.

For $26.32? In the 80's? You had expensive taste for a college kid.

I could give 2 fucks less what happens to Alabama. I will just think it's fucking hilarious that the savior was only scoring recruits by cheating his ass off....

IF it is proved to be that way...

Speaking of scoring recruits....what time is the Demarcus Milliner presser today :thumbsup:
