SOWAL NCAA pick'em

Why can't all these guys just stay out of trouble. When I say "all" I am encompassing all of the college atheletes.

Kimmi, a co-worker and I were just talking about this, this morning. He said the exact same thing. I mean, really they have their education paid for, they have so much going for them. I can't believe they would do something so stupid to screw that up. I know we all make mistakes, but to do something that you know is very, very wrong, and to know that you will probably get caught just blows my mind.

Maybe it's all they know and can't comprehend the severity of the consequences. My local troublemaker, Pacman Jones, has been in troubs more than 3 different occasions and finally they punish him severely by taking away his entire season. You think he'd learn. Maybe you have to take everything away to make them understand that the rules must be followed or be prepared to face the music.

Thanks, I didn't want to have to go back by his office after my stop at the bookstore. :roll:

Actually, the interest wasn't in the program but how a player would think this is a good idea or that they could get away with it. Look at Ball State, they have received a two year suspension because athletes from 10 different sports were idiots and did the same thing. If you go to class A, then get the required number of books for class A, no more or no less. It seems simple enough.

Um, when I was at Auburn, I bought a text book a time or two, put it on my Tigercard and returned for cash. Only once or twice though. I wasn't on scholarship though. Just the Gus scholarship.

That sounds all too familiar.

That's slightly different as in someone paid for it, and I am guessing that was Gus! I was asking about someone who got books they weren't supposed to for free and then selling them.

Technically. Here's how I see it:

In both cases the books were bought by Party 1 (Gus or said institution) while Party 2 (Kimmi or talented athlete) reaped in the benefits (beer money or beer money). It's the same but different.

This did not factor in my equation. How does one end up with books not in one's major? That isn't the athletes fault. Until they sell it, of course.

It's my understanding the players did not re-sell the books. Some seem to be automatically assuming they did, but to my knowledge, there is no evidence to support that. Sounds more like wishful thinking from rival fans who need to concern themselves with their own program if you ask me.

But let's look at the bigger picture. College kids do stupid stuff. God knows I did. What they did was stupid. I am particularly disappointed in Caldwell who is a straight-A student and graduated in three years.

But let's not be judge and jury until we have the facts.

It's making the man work for you.

Since I can't find anyone to support me, my maker will support in some way, shape or form until I am swept off my feet with a black card.

Exhibit B.

Set your bills (utilities) up to a said person's credit card, and get the check from your roommate. Until caught.
