NCAA action: catch it!

Reprimand please. Kthanx

 

[Mr Janny]

that's pretty awesome. I notice that they don't mention meatballs. That seems fishy. Emmert probably should send an investigator.

 

[Bigman38]

so now OU has stooped to paying players in pasta. How are we supposed to compete with that?

 

[VeloClone]

I'm pretty sure ISU could have been busted for the same thing back in the day. There is no way that Victor Alexander wasn't getting more than his share.

They would have got away with it, but an NCAA investigator discovered pasta sauce on the seat of one of the players' new Lexus and became suspicious.

Seems like the typical over-report negotiation tactic imo.

What kind of pasta are we talking about here though? I mean I think if we're looking at a spaghetti or even a rotini with a ragu sauce we've got to expect some serious penalties. If it's more along the lines of a penne with a basil cream sauce I think it's more of a public reprimand.

Throw the NCAA a bone, er, pasta. Make them feel like they are doing something.

NCAA RULES.

Conspire with Barilla. OU couldn't match that.

If this was ISU, the Rag would be calling for death penalty.

I ate broccoli three meals in a row. I should be fined.

Terry Woods just shared with him. Nothing to see - move along.

 

[ThurgoodMarshal]

death penalty!

 

[im4cyclones]

Was any garlic bread or breadsticks involved? Who's asking the tough questions, dammit!!

 

[im4cyclones]

Also, no mention of sauce. Meat sauce is WAAAAYYY different than marinara. Or was it a cream sauce? I thought it was funny when they hired this guy to their football staff...

Definitely had a questionable football background!!

Please how did this thread make it this far without Wayne Morgan covering up fro Aaron Agnew? Maybe Doyle was going to break that story next on Wayne Morgan giving Agnew to much at every meal.
