The Other Shoe Dropped

Daaaaammmnn. That’s an article. Tell it like it is. It paints a perfect picture of that school and their values. Not to mention their delusional fan base.

good points, but the media seemed to help in the slow rolling as well. that could have been written much sooner. also isnt auburn one of the top seeds having done the same thing, yet also paid basically no price. Would like to see more focus on the football violations as well.

Prosecutors alleged that Funes submitted numerous vouchers in which he fraudulently represented that the money was needed to pay for home medical care and other expenses for an OLOL Children's Hospital patient. But Davey's mother and sister, nor any of their family members, had ever been patients at the hospital.

Kind of hard to believe someone all on their own would risk prison to just give the money away….

Can’t wait for the day the IRS gets involved. Will either shove this back under the table or kill it.

I’ve explained this many times with my friends…addictions come in many forms…in this case, in the administrator’s fandom, he ruined his career for his love of Alice Shoe. It’s not gambling, sex or drugs, the big 3 of addictions.

Pat Forde beautifully stated what everyone outside of BR thinks of Wade and the scum that is the LSU Athletic Program: https://t.co/B5ul0uHBDc

Flagship University!

Everything we already know to be true about LSUA&M-BR athletics. He left out some good stuff, but I give it a 5 $$$$$ review. Pat Forde is always a good read.

Yes, North Texas guaranteed NIT. Their NET dropped to 46 which probably puts them out the NCAAs. Tech is at 96, which probably puts them in a buy in tournament. Their only hope is last year’s deep run in the NIT buys them goodwill.

Lady Techsters bite it in finals too. Honestly, a once stout program a glimmer of itself. Poster child for the landscape changed and they couldn’t keep up.

Not this year. The NIT is only a 16 team tournament and they are not guaranteeing conference champions a spot this year.

Back to 32 for the men’s. Women have 64 this year.

CIT is being rebranded to “The Basketball Classic”. 32 teams, no longer pay to play. Can’t find bracket, found list of 12 going, 4 declines on Wikipedia. Flo sports broadcasting.

In the expanded WNIT, no at large from the SBC.

That was a good read

So..... It's fine to openly buy/hire a football player from the "portal" whateva that is but not ok to buy/hire a basset ball player? Help me out what's the difference?? What in blue blazes is the "portal"? I'm serious I can't figga out what's going on...really.... Wouldn't it be better to have "players" apply for a job at the school as a player?? I mean that's what it seems like the schools are doing.....right? Why are the basset ball jones's being put in jail and the football one's aren't? What a mess....

You can’t buy any player at the college level. While the NCAA has quickly shown that it is ill prepared to manage Name Image and Likeness deals, the one thing they do make clear is you can’t “pay to play.” Are schools and boosters doing that, absolutely. Can you do that under the rules, no. Not in any sport.

I’ve heard Alice shoe fans make the argument that Wade paying players is legal now. No it’s not.
