re: 650k wasn't a typo

Because the NCAA is not just going on someone's word. They have to have evidence other than testimony to support an allegation

You don't think LEO who ended up at state, who you know still gets under the table benefits from the source who gave them to him when he signed couldn't give the ncaa evidence to prove he was paid? And why would they need evidence? Why would a kid snitch on his own school and make it up? They are going to hammer OM on a text message that, while yes, we all know what it means, but never mentions a payment.

Could they find it on MSU if they wanted to? Yea probably so. They aren't burning that bridge though

This is all we are saying. They just released an article about being guardian of the game and its all bullshite.

You act like it is the Leo allegation that is going to get you hammered. That is only one of many dude. Just bend over and quit asking for a reach around already. Geez.

Years from now , some of us will still gather and reminisce about the 2 rebels who fought all the way down to the bottom of the sea





Their names were pankreb and whereisomaha

I'm just telling you that State's not getting in trouble for it, just like your players who took Sherrill down didn't get your school in trouble. It is what it is. Stop recruiting outside your realistic range and you won't have the NCAA doing this shite to you.

The first part is reasonable, the second part is just stupid. OM got busted because they recruited a kid who had his hand out the whole time from Mississippi while under investigation. That and stupidity with the staff. Not because of two top 10 classes. That got OM attention yes, but Freeze being a dick to Sheridan and stupid on twitter plus msu being a bunch of snitches is what has screwed us.

Things Dodd is claiming in this one article:

1. Leo Lewis and Ricky Seals-Jones were both offered in excess of half a million dollars to play college football.
2. Both Leo Lewis and Ricky Seals-Jones (and/or their families/handlers) turned down that much money.
3. Coaches gather boosters and tell them what games to bet on during the season to finance their 'recruiting budget'.

ok, Dodd.

Top level recruits get paid. Not nearly in the amounts he's claiming here. And definitely not via the avenue he outlined.

And the Leo Lewis situation of allegedly getting paid by multiple schools is MUCH more common than some of these talking heads pretend. In fact, that's actually how it does work. You toss a little money around to guys you know aren't going to come to your school. Most schools have certain territories "covered" by certain "bag men", and it's usually a steady stream of smaller payments over the course of their entire recruitment. I highly doubt anyone is cutting 6-figure checks to a recruit's family these days.

The NCAA made it clear that they didn't believe one word his mother said.

Nor did they believe what Leo said about taking money from MSU. Just what he said about OM, the school he didn't end up at.

Leo's mama destroyed her own credibility with the $650,000 claim.

If LSU paid its players that much we would have had at least one recruited QB the past 10 years who wasn't bad to mediocre at best.

A Georgia and a Purdue transfer are the best quarterbacks we've had since Ryan Perriloux. You'd Think in a decade we'd have been able to get at least one to campus.
