In response to "If there is a difference between the NCAA and pimps, I'm failing to see it. -- nm" by David

This is the single most asinine justification I've ever heard for not suspending them a big game.

The players are eligible for the bowl game because the NCAA determined they did not receive adequate rules education during the time period the violations occurred, Lennon said.

They aren't elgible for 40% of next season ... but in a game that means money for the NCAA, of course they can play. What a fucking joke.

go look at what they suspended two kansas state basketball players for. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 23, 09:37 6
- What was it? I can't find details other than clothing purchases. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 23, 09:39 5
  - that was it, they got discounts on their purchases like they would if they were an employee - tRuMaN Dec 23, 09:47 4
    - Jamal Lewis got charged for a felony for this back in the day. He paid $20 for $380 in clothes. -- nm - David Dec 23, 09:56 2
      - the story is that the employee at the register just gave them a discount. - tRuMaN Dec 23, 09:59
      - Yeah, it's a pretty serious thing at least in theory. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 23, 09:59
    - Yeah, there's no question that's a violation. And it's 3 games, aka - Will Hunting Dec 23, 09:49
I'd say this means Pryor turns pro but even though he's 21, he can't yet. He's class of 08. -- nm - David Dec 23, 09:37 7
- He's only a Soph? I woulda put money that he was a Junior. (nm) - musubi Dec 23, 09:38 5
  - 08/09 was his first season. This is his third season. -- nm - TWuG Dec 23, 09:42 4
    - Wait. So how is he not draft elligible? (nm) - musubi Dec 23, 09:45 3
      - He is. I just looked it up and I'm wrong. So, he's gone. -- nm - David Dec 23, 09:56 1
        
        So it's a total non-punishment, a la Cam Newton. Sweet jeebus, every time I think the NCAA can't get more farcical....(nm) - musubi Dec 23, 09:57
      - I have no idea. I heard all sorts of talk that he might go pro and never heard "but he isn't allowed" as one of the reasons he didn't. -- nm - TWuG Dec 23, 09:46
- He's only been there 2 years? I thought it was 3 seasons of his overrated ass. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 23, 09:38
