Pure Speculation, but God I hope this has legs

Postby htownponyfan » Fri Dec 17, 2010 6:32 pm

T-sips are beginning to freak out about reports that a newspaper is going to release a story detailing extremely embarrassing actions by UT football players and admins.

Check out the comments on this article about Mack:

I must say this is purely speculative, I heard it on ESPN radio here in Houston. But I just can't help but hope this is something big

I hope they get the death penalty for being obnoxious.

From what I heard, it doesn't sound like there are potential NCAA violations attached, just allegations that would add insult to the injury that was their 2010 season. Recruits being given escorts, admin personnel sexually harassing female personnel, and who knows what else.

Makes you wonder what Muschamp might know, if anything. Hopefully this snowballs into something.

I would think giving prostitutes to recruits would be a violation.

Definitely, that is what I would think is more on the speculative side of the allegations. And I doubt the NCAA would want to ruffle the feathers of one of the most profitable sports program$ so I'm sure they'll find a way to ignore anything substantial.

If that's not a violation, there's something really wrong with the current NCAA rules, wouldn't you say?

The NCAA and the Big XIIish won't do anything to Texas. Texas brings money into the NCAA so they are part of the protected class. Our former crucifier, Beebe, will invent new excuses to protect his money machine.

Just to clarrify, the UT system of alumni sponsors, gifts, jobs, hookers, cash and payments are not violations of the NCAA. Given the facts, the punishment, the penalties, what UT provides has never counted.
