Do you think Niang or other cyclones got paid?

[JP4CY]

We had Tim Floyd once as our coach, so yes.

Believe Jamaal Tinsley drove a new Lincoln Navigator on campus back in the day as well, or a similar vehicle.

Well yeah?!?!! Reggie George had a Durango!

 

[KnappShack]

Can't we just ask him?

 

[CyTwins]

Every big time program does it to some extent so the short answer is yes

 

[LivntheCyLife]

Question for everybody, in college basketball, how much of the money does everybody think is:
1) shoe money
2) booster money
3) future agent money

I used to always think of a majority as booster money but have been surprised how much the big programs seem to be influenced by shoe money. Which partially makes me think it's not as widespread as I used to think as shoes and agents are mainly focused on future pros.

Korie Lucious drove a brand new Camero while on campus..

Sounds like a bad off-brand. He got a bad deal.

 

[CyCrazy]

Yes, we have paid players in some sort or fashion. I don't care.

 

[Cycsk]

One thing is for sure. Niang was paid far-under market value!

I would bet my life that Jamaal Tinsley got paid while at ISU

Two things rampant with athletes at most high-major universities: Academic fraud and “improper” benefits.

Football player-DeAndre Jackson was a class partner, told me he had 6 F's at mid term. LOL.

Football players that weren't named Grant Rohach provided some fun memories in the Rhoads years. Not a lick of supervision from the staff, not a lick of care from the players, even the ones who didn't play.
OK, one walk-on was an exception. One.

This was my experience with hoiberg era players I had classes with

 

[Cyforce]

Ivan Drago, but the check bounced.

Yeah, I'll believe it. I only had two, but caught them both cheating.

EDIT: My guys played for Prohm. Well, they were on the team, anyway.
One dropped by to tell me that Prohm chased him off. He came off as a jerk, so it was hard to feel bad for him.

The NCAA is ******** so I hope plenty of our guys got some cash.

Did you slap some dumpy kid on the hand with a ruler to teach them a lesson?

No. I turned them in.
Well, I turned in one. I sent my belief that one wasn't aware of the deal. Judicial Affairs "convicted" both of them.

I feel like I might be able to guess who this was
