Nate should have taken it, bought a lowrider and his mom a caddy with 24's. It was near 20 years ago. Lets ramp up an investigation while Bama and Auburn just offered 100k per 3-star kid a month ago.
We can all thank potatoe head for ncaa scrutiny...here we go again. At least you could have won a few games Romar you hapless garbonzo -
Yeah... and Nates Dad was Jacques Robinson.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

He's pissed Isaiah Thomas (he's named after Isiah Thomas you know.) got his #2 jersey retired and Nate didn't.creepycoug said:I'm not jumping into the amateurism discushun; I'm just wondering why these fuckers feel the need to open up a can a worms YEARS FUCKING LATER after the fact.
Does it make them feel important again to remind everyone they were the caliber of athlete that got offered?
Did someone at UW piss them off?
What possible motive do you have for saying this shit out loud this many years later? My understanding of NCAA statute of limitations is that they're fucked up and that there is a broad exception to a default 4-year limit for "blatant" disregard of the rules. If that is enforced on its face, you can drive a truck through that.
Good news for Washington. Emmert and the NCAA have much bigger fish to fry that some $100,000 offer allegation from 100 years ago. NOGAF. Nor should they.
I'm less concerned about the NCAA and more annoyed at Robinson. What a dick move dood. Huge dick move.
Not of the Swiss Robinson's though. -
Cam Cleeland was on yesterday morning and said that He was full of shit. He said boosters were always around the program and there were some small coffee cups passed around when He was in school. But mostly fruit basket shit. His take was that for someone to offer 100 ger to DB back in the early 2000's would have never happened.

Or you could just let them make their own money on their own time with their own means. Scholarships are endowments at every major school so the school doesn't pay a dime for them to begin with.Alexis said:How bout this. If a guy wants to get paid, fine, let him. But if he does, he loses his scholarship, his food money, his stipend. So he is off the university books. He still counts as a number on the schollie count, but the university doesn't have to pay him, whoever he is getting the money from has to, and the athlete has to get taxed on their income.
So, use a guy like Baker Mayfield. He was a walk on so no one was paying him his freshman or sophmore year. By his Jr year it was apparent he could get paid. So he has to decide. Does he want to be a college athlete, or a pro athlete paying for college.
If a guy takes money during a year that he is getting scholarship money, he has to pay it all back that year. Year is from August to June. So before the school year starts, you have to decide what you are going to be. Once you go pro, you can't go back to a scholarship athlete. But if you are stupid enough to get paid for two years, fine.
If some agent wants to take a chance with the 7 foot AZ hoops player, fine. If he wants to take the chance with the fast pitch stud like Danielle Lawrie. If he wants to take a chance with Jake Browning (who sucks by the way) Knock yourself out. But you have to pay for their year of education and all the other shit college athletes get also.
The players can't use anything associated with the university to make money. Everything outside of that is them earning their own source of income like any other college student.
If I'm on an academic scholarship and make an app that profits me $2 million I don't lose my scholarship.
Exploiting young men that were born physically gifted needs to end. It would also help the schools as kids on the fence about leaving early would stay more often. -
No, the NCAA doesn't have bigger fish to fry. Nothing illegal has been done and the one piece of possible evidence is obviously bullshit. They fired Rich Rod for something they know he didn't do after hiring a law firm to investigate for a year. They've already backed Sean Miller and he isn't going anywhere.creepycoug said:I'm not jumping into the amateurism discushun; I'm just wondering why these fuckers feel the need to open up a can a worms YEARS FUCKING LATER after the fact.

The NCAA has been irrelevant for some time and this basketball thing will make it apparent to the masses. The next step will be for a major football program to just ignore their sanctions and still do whatever they want. It appears Ole Miss is already doing that. -
Power 5 college fball isn’t going anywhere. At some point the power 5 schools will have to compromise and your big sky, mountain west teams will die off. The poor power 5’s like osu/Wazzu will stand out that much more. The conferences will combine in a some way.RaceBannon said:
College football could end in my lifetime and be replaced by this model. It won't be paying players.
The new league they’re trying to start is meant to help players who can’t get into power 5 academically. So they will no longer rot in junior college.
Baseball has its system because no one cares about it. There isn’t money to be made.
College basketball is dead because they chose to make the entire season 3 weeks in March. -
I see something like an upper division with four 12 team conferences and a 16 team playoff and something similar with a lower division.haie said:

There would need to be some sort of relegation to make sure you don't get a long term Vandy or Oregon State in the top division.
People want to see good college football, not just college football. Illinois vs Indiana on a football field isn't a big time game under any circumstances, but technically it is because conferences are way too big.
