Didn't he have the tweet before the draft about taking money and then said his account was hacked?

I doubt anything comes of this but if we go on probation again I'm done with college football.
If you can't stay off probation for more than 3 years then you're doing nothing but embarrassing the institution I received my degree from.

So Luther Davis was an LSU mole the whole time?

Yeah, but the tweet wasn't even in his usual, uhh, typing dialect I guess you would say.

Meh there is enough anti-NCAA steam that if they retroactively tried to do anything to us it could seriously backfire on the NCAA.

It really wouldn't surprise me if we're the ones that get hit with major sanctions.

With any luck, all of these agents will take a tumble up the stairs.
Otherwise yeah, I could see us losing 2011 and 2012 to this. If the NCAA was actually serious about stopping this kind of thing (they aren't) they would work with the NFL to ensure that any sports agent tied to this sort of behavior loses his NFL certification for a period of time so that he loses all of his clients and goes broke. As it stands, the only person with anything to lose is the player, and the agents just DGAF.

I could see this leading to the end of the NCAA more than to our dynasty
Everyone needs to read this Dan Wetzel article: LINK
quote:
Here is the early prediction on what will come – at least in terms of NCAA sanctions – from the accompanying Yahoo Sports story detailing how Luther Davis went from starting Alabama defensive end to middle man possibly funneling money from agents and financial planners to a handful of top SEC players, including some in Tuscaloosa.
Nothing.
Or, at least, not much.
quote:
And that's fine. The NCAA always looks foolish when it tries to retroactively strip championships – in this case, Alabama's.
It's looks even worse when it argues that something horrible occurred if a kid such as D.J. Fluker, who grew up poor even before Hurricane Katrina left him homeless and sleeping in a car with four others, actually accepted some of the money that just about everyone was willing to throw at him because they've defined his worth as far greater than just tuition, room and board.
quote:
This is major college athletics. Not those public-relations commercials during the games with cinematography, soaring music and canned concepts propping up "amateurism" as anything more than a tax dodge. And this is the river of underground money that flows through major college football. It's everywhere. It's undeniable. It's uncontainable.
quote:
The real scandals don't involve money; they involve academics or drug-test fixing or other real-world issues. Systematic academic fraud – one that keeps borderline students uneducated – is what should generate the harshest penalties, the loudest condemnations and the most aggressive NCAA investigations. These are, after all, supposed to be institutions of higher learning. And the schools are very capable of looking into this stuff themselves.
That isn't how the system is set up though.

The core problem isn't the breaking of the rules, it's the rules that are being broken.

What absolutely pisses me the frick off is you don't keep that good records from that far back that meticulously is if you have a beef and are gonna try and burn some one and that's a fricked up mentality
Every school in the SEC is involved in bullshite like this with the boosters
That letter was BS it was just trying to recoup money owed and based off her employment she was about to have
I'm so frickin pissed

Couldn't agree with that more. The NCAA is a joke of an organization and if this is what it takes to bring about its demise then that's great. If a brilliant graduate student comes up with some sort of drug or invention or whatever that a huge multinational conglomerate is willing to pay him millions of dollars for the rights to, it's perfectly fine and does nothing to jeopardize his status as a student or his efforts at obtaining a degree. Dez Bryant get to have dinner with his childhood idol Deion Sanders, who insists on paying for it, and he is declared ineligible. Ohio State players barter for tattoos with trophies they earned through their play on the field, and they are declared ineligible. It's a ridiculous double standard. I especially find it inappropriate to hold some naive, impoverished 21 year old to a higher standard of ethics than a grown man who is doing everything in his power to take advantage of the 21 year old's ignorance and poverty.

At the time, I honestly thought Cam Newton and Manziel would skate. They eventually did because there was no hard evidence.
This story definitely has me worried. The elaborate paper trail is really shocking. There is no other way I can see this being corroborated other than Luther Davis personally handing over this information to Yahoo Sports.

Miami seems to have done alot worse things, and hardly any punishment. Ohio St lied to the NCAA from the players to the President, and they allowed the guilty players to play a Bowl game. If Bama suffers severe sanctions, after a proper investigation is done, I will be surprised and just a little more than pissed.

If any major punishments happen, the death of the NCAA will surely be on the way. More and more high powered schools are realizing, they don't need the NCAA and it's lower level schools that have as much power.

Isn't that how it works? They pardon those around us then make us the example.
Then these idiots say the NCAA loves us.
Nothing will come of this unless we hid information, which from the looks of things we have not.

If they get slammed with sanctions and 2011 and 2012 vacated, I'm done with college football. So tired of all the selfishness, from boosters, agents and players. I was already starting to hate it.
So disappointed. frick Fluker and Davis.
