These become a huge problem if mom or son have any ties to ISU...

At what point does message board speculation hurt our program?! Good grief, people. It has already been shown that the DesMoines Register will run with rumor off this site, do we really need to make this situation even worse?!
:skeptical:
hopefully the lady is a big enough cyclone football fan that, if she gets her money back, this can just be swept under the rug.
you know, like the big boys do.

I wouldn't recognize David Sims out in public unless he was wearing a jersey with Sims and #1 on the back.
Doubtful a fuzzy surveillance video would make it any easier. This is a very strange case. I hope he really doesn't have any direct involvement in it.
Exactly. I have talked to him and other players at practice and after practice and I don't think I would recognize them on the street if they didn't have some sort of ISU football gear on.
Re: Not a lawyer..
Wow, they had a federal investigation?
When my cards were stolen and about 3k used on them, the guy crossed state lines physically to make transactions. I brought the police a list of all transactions, with the location and time. Since two of the transactions were car repairs, they should have easily been able to identify the perp with a couple of phone calls. But the cops basically threw up their hands and said they didn't have time to investigate this type of crime, since I was getting my money back and apparently stealing 3K dollars isn't worth making two phone calls to arrest someone. Of course they still have plenty of offices writing tickets for 55 in a 45 mph zone.. guess police have to focus on raising funds rather than worrying about things like theft.

This type of speculation is to be expected when it involves last year's conference Defensive Newcomer of the Year, and the fact that our defense lost a ton of starters from last year. Sims is one of our two top returning defensive players, of course we're going to speculate because we need to know if he's going to be a part of this year's team or not.
IF he did do this, (which i hope he didnt) he deserves whatever is going to come at him. Jail time will do the trick... When i got ousted 150 bucks when someone got a hold of my checkbook i was ****** off. These guys have everything handed to them when on scholly, its pitiful to think that some of these athletes do this stuff.
And rampant speculation answers that questions, versus waiting for the *facts*? Spin it anyway you want, but these threads help no one.
Please enlighten me as to what we should do to "help" someone in this situation.
Speculating on a stupid messageboard isn't going to hurt anyone. Paul Rhoads isn't going to base his punishment decisions on anything said here, and the Story County attorney isn't getting his evidence here either.
I think it looks pretty bad that Sims hasn't posted anything in either of these threads to clear his name and get everything out in the open. You know, show he has nothing to hide, allay everyone's fears, that sort of thing. Pretty fishy, ya ask me.
If he's getting legal advice from anybody, and I'm sure he is, the last thing he's going to do is come onto a message board and start spouting off about the details of the case regardless of what actually happened.
Wow. Im sure he was kidding--obviously Sims isnt actually going to come to this site to talk about it.
How is that a huge problem? A stupid mistake by a teeenager, I have two at my house and they make dumb decisions every day. I can't see this being a compliance problem like the mom bought them a stuff as a boooster, actually that would probably be better.
This could be a huge problem, especially considering 2 things: (1) NCAA is doing a lot of investigation related to improper benefit - see USC and just the last several days: trip to Florida made by several players from different programs and (2) our history with NCAA is not good. Remember the story about one former basketball player who lost a year of eligibility ? In this situation the host-parents involved were not boosters, if I recall correctly, but still it was regarded as improper benefit
