NCAA Investigators may need long term lease in Collie Station

All those years you had all the power to recruit with no limits and recruit people just to keep them away from others or before the national letter of intent when you could just steal players from other teams at the last minute you didn't need to cheat. correct. Didn't you go on probation in 1987? Not sure if its true, just wondering.

Yes, they did go on Probation. Rice was the ONLY swc school that did not cheat in the 80’s/early 90’s.
 
It's been alleged that your institution is in clear violation of multiple NCAA rules. The likelihood of these allegations being true are so astronomically high, that you yourself can't even deny them. You then make a conflating remark that "nobody is impervious to cheating" as if to say, "it could happen to anybody".

But here's the deal, it's not happening to everyone. It's happening to you--- and instead of drawing one of two distinct lines in the sand---

1. We did not do this. These allegations are false.
2. This is wrong and the perpetrators and institution should be held accountable.

Instead, you shrug and say "well, cheaters gonna cheat and there's nothing you can do about it.....".
sorry I wasn't clear. My point is that no matter how much people consider their school "blue blood", if the wrong people are in charge, they could cheat even if they don't have to as you say. I think this: Let it be investigated and if these things are proven true, all involved should be held accountable.
 
Huh? Please go on, I'd love to hear more about this theory.
Backing away slowly. Thought I remembered it being BS. Couldn't google anything saying that was the case. So I was repeating fake news. My bad.
 
Simple fix..... Razoo's in CS has cameras everywhere. If, as the player alleges, the coach pulled him into the bathroom to give him money, simply watch the tape and if they ARE in the pooper at the same time, he's telling the truth. I know, I know, there's no cam in the pooper BUT, you can tell if they are out of camera in the vicinity of the bathroom at the same time.

If the tape magically was erased or wasn't functioning, the allegations are likely true. If not true, the camera will show us.

And please tell me why Sumlin has an axe to grind? You gave him $10 million to LEAVE. He got a job at a school where he actually has a chance to win a conference title. He's in a real city with a metro population of over a million people. He's an hour and a half from some of the greatest golf courses in America. He and his wife are surrounded by the top luxury resorts and spas in the country.

Translation: you got him out of a one horse town to an actual city.

Why would he be mad? It dang sure isn't because his situation wasn't improved.
Sumlin has one of the biggest egos you will ever find. I know you didn't watch many of his press conferences, but he NEVER did anything wrong. Players fault at all times. I agree he is in a better fit, but rest assured he doesn't want Jimbo to come in and take his talent and do something with it to make him seem like a failed coach. I agree with you on let the cameras do the talking on Razoos. Has to be something there you would think.
 
I'm not sure how much all of this will come out that is true. I do believe part of this will bite Marichol in the ass. If money was given then the consequence should be whatever it is. The other crap I'm not paying attention to at all. You were hurt and encouraged to push through? Cussed at? I know Jimbo has open practices to family. I don't think he had much to hide there. The new rules do make things likely that the story has to be as brutal as possible. I don't think it was as bad as he was making it, but where there is smoke there has to be a little flame somewhere. I don't think much will come of any of this, but it is still a distraction that isn't needed.
 
The only thing that could come back to Marichol is that he kept them money that he didn't spend on the "unofficial" visits. Not sure how much money he kept but it is an impermissible benefit and would most likely have to pay it back and possibly a suspension for a half depending on how much he kept.
 
wow!...you talk about a tough assignment...

coach: here is $300.00....take these recruits out and show em a good time..

player: $300.00?? where am I supposed to show em a good time here?

coach: if you need more just let me know...

player: need more? it only costs $10.00 at the chicken and the Dairy Queen isnt open on week ends here. Did you want me to take them to Austin?

coach: dont let em any where near Austin. Here is another $500.00 take em to Houston.

I'm talking about whether or not things he are accusing of are all real. His desperation to play this year may have led to some lying as well. Again, I believe when all said and done he isn't going to be clean in this.
 
I highly doubt that he is lying. His attorney would never let anything out that couldn't be substantiated through an investigation. Everything he claims in the interview happened to him. No third parties, no hearsay. Ive been around college sports. Nothing sounds really far fetched. Nothing is a major violation. Playing on a grade 2 sprain isn't a huge deal. Not too smart in the offseason but the kid included it because they thought it would help his case. Getting extra money for an unofficial visit is a violation but I don't think too serious. The practice violations are also minor. If the NCAA turns up anything else then these minor violations could add up to lack of institutional control which is not minor.

So weird. I have been in public restrooms with other people hundreds of times and no one gave me $300. I have even been in public restrooms with people I worked with, and not a one gave me cash. It makes no sense.

I am sure the general manager of the college station Razoo's would love to volunteer the tape, especially if it pisses off 99% of his customers. Sound business strategy.
My point exactly.

If the two of them never went to the bathroom together, Razoo's would gladly turn over the tape. But if they did go together, the tape will magically be deleted or come up missing.

That is an aggy(fish camp?) myth, the SWC instituted a 115 scholarship limit in 1957 which was DKR's first year. The NCAA limit of 105 came in 1973, to fund Title IX, and was reduced to 95 in 1978 and then to 85 in 1994. BTW, A&M had the most scholarship players when the SWC limits went into effect according the Dave Campbell's Texas Football.

Another interesting stat is both OU(with 89) and A&M(64)had more players drafted by the NFL than Texas(58) did during DKR's career.

And I just thought about this. I've mentioned on here that AZ has a good chance to win the Pac XII South this year. Favorable conference schedule, a non con schedule that would make Art Briles proud. Mostly a qb with AA caliber talent.

Now doesn't that sound like Sumlin's first year at the cow college?

BUT, don't you think that will be your view no matter what? If they Aggies turned up somewhat clean...I say somewhat because I believe SOMETHING happened..aren't you just going to say the tape was deleted anyway?
 
Yes, because all Longhorns follow your code of honor at Texas. Please. Pot meet kettle.
Yes because Longhorns are self righteous snobs about being the best people/fans in the world. Definitely an apples to apples comparison. I give your post 10 out of 10. Would read again.

Forensics--- if he goes to the crapper with the coach, not a good look.

If he never goes near the crapper with the coach, I believe he's full of chit.

If the tape magically disappears or "isn't working properly", then alos not a good look.

I can be objective, can you?

Or if kid gets dismissed from school because he might be a lying POS
 
Just because the kid’s a racist doesn’t mean he didn’t get paid.
 
"Or if kid gets dismissed from school because he might be a lying POS"

Of course thats what happened.....said every aggy.
