Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

The shoes issue is a joke.
The hot takes on the classes are a joke. UNC got hammered for that, but not formally by the NCAA, so I guess for some people it doesn’t count.

Hammered? They got embarrassed a bit, but not hammered.

Academic probation, everyone from the chancellor on down fired, reputation in tatters, hundreds of millions in lost donations, tens of millions in legal fees, and 7 years of NCAA investigation hanging over 8 straight recruiting classes. That’s for starters.

UNC basketball is ranked 8th heading into the season. Looks like they found some scapegoats and kept the important parts.

They fired everyone Wainstein found remotely culpable. And he had access to the entire UNC system, including digital archives and emails, going back years.

So out of a 25+ game season you lose 1 game for selling shoes. But A.J. Green gets 4 games out of 12 or 13 for selling a jersey?

And the players that are at the same position will get to be suspended for different games.

It’s crap, but do read it right. It is football players and it says they will miss games, not game.

I can’t help but wonder if UNC had a system for “laundering” these shoes so players could get the money. I do agree that what’s yours is yours and if you want to sell it, fine.

You can learn a lot about somebody by looking at their shoes…

No sure how effective those players would’ve been playing barefoot anyway.
But it would be interesting to see.

All I can think of is that UGA basically invented this area of compliance. Or at least the enforcement of it.
I think that the Ebay Sugar Bowl rings set the precedent.

That was embarrassing. Hope that is behind us, but afraid it isn’t. Not just UGA, all programs are susceptible to acts like this.

I get the argument about the pettiness of selling shoes but why doesn’t anyone question why they are given so many pairs of shoes? (Disclaimer: I bought a pair of Nikes from UGA players who brought several pair to our poker game in the 90s.) In this day and age where they already get loaded with benefits, including a subjective “COA” allowance, why would anyone need several pairs of shoes from a clothing company? Except to tempt them from selling them, ban this as free goods which aren’t given to other students. I think everyone is blaming the wrong folks here. (I supported a spending allowance before the COA was adopted, but feel it should be level across all universities.) Free, in-demand products that are convertible to cash is a silly risk to take.
