Well Rick isn't concerned...

Yeah, something bad happened. He's trying to put as much distance between him and the situation that he can.

Used to deliver pizzas quite a bit to Sukup facility for their youth camps. Usually decent sized orders. I always wanted to take the orders because it let me in the building and see coaches/players working even though I never got tipped.

Except for the one time Matt was tasked with grabbing the food. Dude whipped out a huge chunk of cash, largest tip I had ever received (not life changing but would cover a night at the bars) and then asked if I wanted more. I said no. Then he asked for my shirt size and gave me a camp t shirt.

I always assumed this guy was just on the bottom rung of some New York mafia.

Matts usefullness went away when they could legally pay players and everyone knew it. His main job was being the slimeball that did all that dirty work. Everyone knew it. He will take the blame but everyone knew they hired him just to do that job. So he might get a bad rap for doing it but all he was doing was the job he was hired to do.

Boy, what do you have to do to illegally pay players in this landscape? Breaking rules when there are no rules is honestly impressive.

Financial irregularities mean that money may have gone out the door and magically disappeared. Doesn't mean it went to players.

I think you can replace may have with did.

Update: I fell for a parody account, feel free to move along!

That's just it, seems like he wasn't paying players:

This is a parody account.

Apparently this guy is parody. Appears as a real journalist though.

He's pretty deceptive. It tricked me the other day.

He's not the only one saying embezzlement happened though. Trilly Donovan said that's what got him fired and Pitinos reaction sure makes it look like something bad happened.

Right. This is kind of wild in what to believe with the situation. Seems legit...for the time being.

And we still couldn't get Rashad Vaughn and Cheick Diallo with him handing out a bag.

He’s likely not as effective in the NIL world compared to non NIL world. If that makes sense lol

It makes perfect sense

Someone should ask Travis Hines for his updated opinion on his ole double digit source.
