any tips on where I might be able to catch the real sports piece online... I know I have seen links posted on BP to see games streaming before, hopes up that someone may be able to provide a link for this as well.

gonna be interesting to hear what NCAA president Mark Emmert has to say about LSU being mentioned in this one.

He was Chancellor at LSU, and heavily involved in the athletic department during the time Mclovin is talking about getting a money handshake.

Emmert is the guy who hired Saban, escorted former AD Joe Dean out the door, etc. etc.

Ohio State has a "booster problem" now. And thank goodness we do. The only programs that don't are the ones that have sucked since dinosaurs walked the earth.

All a school can do is try to keep this stuff relatively well controlled. If someone claims their school doesn't have NCAA violations, smile politely and then laugh at them behind their backs - they're clueless.

The difference between Ohio State, USC, Auburn, Alabama, LSU (on the one hand) and Boise State, TCU, Washington State and Utah (on the other) is that ESPN and Yahoo recognize that the former schools represent a potential scandal, and the latter schools represent a "who gives a shit." Stuff happens everywhere, and the sooner everyone understands that, the sooner we can get the NCAA to focus on what its charge should truly be: the welfare of the student-athletes.

This is an interesting point in that everyone talks about the NCAA like its a person with feelings...."NCAA doesnt like to be lied to" etc....the fucking NCAA is run by mercenaries that are friends with AD's and have personal relationships with many of the people in these programs. I do not believe they have "feelings" about anything as an institution. They are as predictible as snow flakes.... No one retires from the NCAA and feels like they are NCAArs.... like Alumni feel like Alumni or Ford retiree only drives a Ford

HBO Investigation special

Well, leading up to this I thought it would be much more invasive / damning.
but after watching the "special" I believe it was more filler..less substance.
Same old arguments..

Wheww....

But Game of Thrones looks like it has got the backing it deserves.

yeah baby!!!

And one more...RichRod is now the official defender of all that is honorable in college sports.

exactly.

plus on the LSU deal, 2 things in our favor:
1 - the statute of limitations has passed
2 - I don't think Emmert is gonna dig up too much dirt if he has any chance of being buried in it.

if anything fishy was going on at LSU while he was there, I would bet good money he knew about it.


his salary and bonuses at LSU made a few waves back then.
he was getting paid better than guys in similar positions at Ivy league schools. I love LSU to death, but you'll never convince me that the chancellor at public university in a state notorious for low education levels is worth more than the guy running Yale.

and his bonuses were rumored to violate the booster clubs and board of supervisors own bylaws.

Another possible LSU payoff to a recruit:

Willie Lyles asked Texas A&M for $80K

Willie Lyles, a Texas-based football trainer who is under NCAA investigation after receiving $25,000 from Oregon, told Texas A&M it had to "beat" $80,000 if it wanted to sign star recruit Patrick Peterson in 2007, a former Texas A&M coach told ESPN on Wednesday.

Van Malone, the former cornerbacks coach at Texas A&M, told ESPN that Lyles phoned him in 2007 after Peterson had visited the College Station campus.

"A few days after the kid's visit, Will calls and says, 'If you want this kid, there are other schools that want this kid as well. They're willing to pay a certain amount of money, around the $80,000 mark,'" Malone said. "He said that was something we were going to have to beat as a university to be able to obtain the services of this kid."
Peterson originally committed to the University of Miami but ended up signing with LSU. Now a junior, he has declared for the NFL draft and is the No. 1 player on ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper's Big Board.

i'm not gonna pull an Auburn and just blindly deny the possibilities.
i'm not naive enough to think that this couldn't or even hasn't happened.

i attended a 1AA school.
i personally know a guy who delivered a car to the back up qb.
a brand new car (nothing fancy, but a new car). knowing waht the qb drove before, and what his parents drove, I find it difficult (not impossible) to believe he or his family paid for the car.

if that little half broke 1AA scholl was possibly handing out gifts, i'm pretty sure it's happening on a much larger scale at schools that actually make money off of their football teams.


only thing i can do is hope and pray that no serious violations are uncovered and that we don't get plunger raped by the NCAA.
