Interesting comment on here to the effect "Can you prove that CJ was NOT taking money?" when no one has produced any evidence he ever did. Like accusing someone of taking bribes and then challenging them to prove they didn't! LOL
Long live Inez Perez!

unfortunately Arkpony, presumed innocence is a legal/constitutional issue, whereas the 'court of public opinion' demands defense of points of contention or honor...or presumption is guilt or worse.
Sometimes the idea of a duel seems almost reasonable in discussions of 'he said he said.'

Here's a document I have had for a while. I guess this is a good time to share it. I don't know if it is comprehensive. It is written by someone (I guess Ron Meyer when he got to Boston) to George Owens (one of the ninebanned boosters). This was his payroll to meet. The right column is partially cut-off but shows the number of months for payment.

This is stunning. Absolutely stunning. One name in particular surprises the hell out of me. And notice the lack of Craig James on the list.

Good point. I am just shocked to see the name of one of my best friends on that list.

Posted this on the other thread with the list which is presumably from Meyer to George Owens: Dickerson's HOF Speech: People like George Owens, who treated me like a son when I was at SMU. Who when things were tough for me, he’d sit and talk to me. When I couldn’t get back to Texas, back to Sealy, Texas, he’d talk to me. And I really thank you George, for that. http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/membe ... tab=Speech

you're projecting what i said out over an awfully broad area. the NCAA is a hypocrisy, i encourage the active subversion of their policies. those players deliver and extremely valuable commodity, and this being the USA, they deserve to be paid for delivering that service.
