Criminally minded

Sometimes I feel NCAA rules are just plain ridiculous. Designed to protect Student-Athletes from unscrupulous schools/coaches/general public, they have turned into a murky twisting back river mess of contradiction and double-speak.

Take for instance the whole UNC "mess". Prospect Iman Shumpert played a little shoot around with Sean May, Raymond Felton and Marvin Williams. Because Felton was on the UNC basketball team in 2005 and is no longer a student, he could be looked at as a representative of the Tar Heels interest thus violating NCAA law with him speaking to Shumpert.

Yer kidding, right? So freaking what? Anyone going after a recruit is a representative of that school. Just because he does not work for the school or go to class makes him DANGEROUS to the recruit?

Use some common sense, guys. This is such a non-issue.

How unlucky is SMU? First they got the Death Penalty for their football program and now narrowly avoided NCAA sanctions on their basketball program!

"SMU reiterates its commitment to competing at the highest level with integrity throughout its athletic programs and, like the NCAA, considers the matter closed at this time."

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha! Yes Mustangs, your track record shows it.


A symbol of excellence!

And Auburn's Frank Tolbert shows that you can't just TAKE a man's SUV now. He don't play that shit.


Jail or no jail, I'm GETTING my SUV back!
