but will still get to play in a high stakes bowl... interesting how that works lol http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5950873
So why are they being punished and have to pay money back for the things that they sold? Do they have to keep that stuff for the rest of their college careers? If so, that's stupid. If they don't want to keep it, do they have to give it to their dad, and then have their dad sell it for them for it to be 'legal'?
I think this comes down to expectations. If these players were clearly told they are not allowed to sell these items while attending school, then there is an ethics issue. If they weren't clear that what they were doing was wrong, then the punishment is extreme and blame lies on OSU and the NCAA for not clarifying their Hitlarian rules. This seems extreme and a bit nonsensical to me. Like a wise poster said, are they expected to keep this junk forever --- or just during their college career? Recently camped next to a well known Duck. His party didn't have any dry wood so what shared what we had. SSSSsshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...don't tell the NCAA. They might suspend him. Things are getting a little crazy.
I got to thinking about the Dez Bryant situation and googled it and this came up from today... Kinda how I feel http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/34197/dez-bryant-finds-easy-target-the-ncaa
I think it's ridiculous that they aren't suspended for the bowl game. Either they deserved to be suspended or they didn't. I don't know for sure that they did, but I don't think that the bowl game should be an exception to their suspension. Ed O.
It just proves that the NCAA is full of hypocrites. If they were playing the Little Ceasar's Bowl, they would be suspended. I also believe that if Cam Newton played for Vanderbilt or Kentucky, he would have been ruled ineligible for the bowl game. There's just too much money involved with OSU and Auburn to ruin it for the bowl season.
Funny that after Posey promised to come back for his senior year, Pryor avoided the subject today. Have to think there is more money in having Pryor around to make a Heisman/ Championship run then from one Sugar Bowl.
