NCAA Violations for Pryor?

[Spence]

How do you know what they were doing?

How do you know they wouldn't give a ticket to a possible recruit? How do you know they would turn down an offer for a trade of something of value?

You have know idea other then what they might have said,,,,and the road to hell is paved, etc. etc.

They weren't planning to give it to a potential recruit or they wouldn't have did it in such a public way and they wouldn't have taken it through compliance, bacause they would know for sure they would get caught. Whoever won these tickets, the news media would be right on it and so would the university compliance dept. They would know everything that could be known of the winner. It would have been well covered.

If they were going to trade something of value, they would have to be fairly stupid to do it in such a public way. As I said before it would be a well covered event by the local media. Pryor can be overly self confident and he can be arrogant to the point it even shines through when he tries to be humble. He isn't stupid. He was recently named to the academic all big ten team.

If either of these kids were trying to get away with something, it isn't likely they would have ran it through compliance first. That would take stupidity or a level of arrogance that not even Terrelle Pryor isn't capable of showing. Besides Pryor is a Junior, with almost no chance for a freshman to make an impact before he leave, what is in it for him? Why would he take the chance of having to sit out his senior year for this? It wouldn't make sense unless the coaches put him up to it and if that is the case, there is more than just this for compliance and the NCAA to investigate.


I don't know what the motivation for them doing this was, but it looks like they just thought it would be a cool thing to do. They didn't try to get away with anything. They took it to compliance before they did it. It seems to me, like they weren't trying to hide anything here, but no I do not know for sure that they weren't trying to pull the wool over everyone or not.

Oh..I'm not blaming the kids...I am backing up compliance guys who did their job well.

I'm not blaming the compliance guys either. Just the all or nothing NCAA guys who make the rules.

The beef also is the spirit and original intent of athletes getting tickets. It was, I assume, so family and friends could watch them play, It made them affordable..which is a real issue, free and made them available which in some situations is a bigger issue. It costs schools a lot of money to give tickets to athletes. They loose revenue at a much greater price than student tickets. So...when athletes decide the tickets are theirs to do with whatever they want, that is not the case nor the original intent. With as most things today, the legalism of it all destroys the spirit. I refer you to the Pharisees and Sadducees of years gone by.

Spot on my friend! Laws, rules, ordinances, and the like should never be loosed from the intent and the spirit that birthed them. But we have this running rampant all over now. Law on top of law...burdens grievous to be borne.
