I'm remembering 6.02 x 10 to the 23rd.

EDIT - looked it up - it's 6.022 x 10 to the 23rd (In high school we never used that last digit).

I thought Avogadro wore #32.

Similarly, the NCAA is toothless as well without either Bush or USC admitting wrong doing or some gross preponderance of evidence against them (which doesn't exist now, by all appearances). Once again, programs that self report and play by the rules get screwed, and teams that stonewall the system will get off scot free.

This whole debacle is going to really weaken the NCAA's enforcement ability. They're going to have to give some program the death sentence to put the fear of God back into schools, because once this shakes out nobody, and I mean nobody, is going to fear the NCAA.

I would think that Lake/New Era would have some type of financial records (corporate financial reports, cancelled checks, bank withdraws/deposit records, etc.) to prove that money changed hands. As W. Mark Felt (aka Deep Throat) told Bob Woodward: "Follow the Money".

I'm wondering (if large sums of money did change hands here) did Reggie and/or his family pay income taxes on it; and if not, is the IRS interested in the case.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I'm trying to remember from back when I was in high school. Now I remember. Didn't he score three times against UCLA for the Trojans in 1972?

It used to be 6.023 * 10^23 - but then they revised the record books taking away a full season's worth of carries - hence the currently accepted value

Only because the NCAA wouldn't allow two players with the same number.

yes, Lake has audio of Bush's father. They had a transcript on yahoo sports a couple of months ago. The article is linked in this thread. Bush's father comes out looking like a real ass-hole as he says he wants to make sure Reggie's mom doesn't know about the gifts/money.

Lake in the same conversation tells Reggie's dad it would look real fishy that he (Lake) has withdrawls of thousands of dollars the same day Reggie purchases a brand new vehicle.

All of that coversation took place as Lake felt like the Bush family may go another direction in regards to a sports agency and Lake needed to make sure he got them on tape so he'd have a case after lavishing the family in gifts. Who knows if he has anything else?
