I think that's bull[censored]. What if he would've played the lottery and hit for 30 million... would he not be able to keep that either? The whole thing just doesn't make sense.

If that happened he would've taken it even if it made him ineligible. He just would've played football somewhere else. |

I really cannot stand the guy, but I have to say that this specific case sucks for Tate. It seems stupid, but the NCAA has to have black and white rules because there is always going to be the booster-type who are reading every detail to see how much they can get away with.
Does the NCAA have any kind of rules-interpretation committee set up to hear cases like this and decide if it's exusable or not? If they do, I cannot imagine them ruling against Tater. Seems to me this committee could have helped out in Jeremy Bloom's case too.

That really sucks for Drew, but at least he hit a hole-in-one!

From SI's "Ten Spot"
9. Iowa quarterback Drew Tate won a new Dodge worth $25,000 by making a hole in one at a golf tournament last Friday but couldn't accept the vehicle due to NCAA rules. In a related story, the wheels-less Tate announced plans to transfer to Ohio State.
Har-har-har-har-har. What a sense of humor, and original too. Now we can wait for the mailbag next week to see how many equally stupid OSU "fans" e-mail they guy with rants full of spelling errors.

Hmm. Wonder if he did the arm windmills after he hit the hole-in-one.
*cheap shot, but hell, that image still hurts my brain.

No. I hear he spiked the 6 iron and delayed the threesome's advance to the next hole. No flag was thrown. |
