You are absolutely correct, but, it does give the NCAA reason to interview every player on that team and ask them have they EVER taken any benefit that wasn't allowed by the NCAA. And these investigators are known to put pressure on these kids. NOBODY wants the NCAA snooping around their teams and OBJ just kicked the door wide open and said come on in.

Thankfully for Bama the NCAA statute of limitations on McElroy's career has passed. Not sure on Burrow or the other Tigers, but I think it's more than 4 days.


Tell that to Michigan's Fab 5

Did you really feel the need to explain this?

Does this make you feel smart?

Sure they do. What is the cost of tuition, books, housing and meals a year at LSU? Now multiply by 85. And that's just football.

Is this a thing?

(Serious question)



Actually, it is.

They have a few exceptions but generally it is 4 years prior to the start of the investigation.

Good for GMac. Although I think you can round the numbers up with a few zeros.

Don't believe it.

Greg was a rich kid from the Dallas suburbs. His dad was an executive with the Dallas Cowboys. What good would $100 do him?

Everyone cheats, but UGA boosters are on a different level at the moment.

I hope they made Greg pay them during that stretch of games between Ole Miss and LSU in 2009.

If nothing happened from that blatant Will Wade move last year, you are right… aint nothing going to happen. It's the Wild Wild West. Cheat on!

Pretty sure nothing will happen with this. It was so out in the open that LSU is going to make sure any players that got money will return it

I watched a 2nd string LSU player get several $100 bills to buy an alumni a beer at a bar. Each time he just put it in his pocket. It came from a guy wearing an LSU polo shirt. I know the player pretty well so I wouldn't ever mention his name but this stuff happens all the time everywhere.
