I also have an autographed picture of Beason .. does that mean he knows me as well??? Nope.

did he also say "thanks for the love"?

At least it wasn't "Thank$ for the 'love'"

The game of basketball teaches you nothing, the players in the NBA teach you even less.

Do you have anything to base these claims off of or are you just talking out of your ass?

I already know the answer to that question, I'm just curious to hear what you'll come up with.

[TheRealDeal]

I don't have a link if that's what you're asking for.

Do you think if the NFL went the way of the NBA that it would be as popular as it is today?

Do you think fathers want to sit down with their children and watch an NBA game or an NFL game?

Fine em all, suspend some, do whatever.

Send a message to these dudes and kids coming up that this will catch up with you and it doesn't get left behind when you leave your school to pick up the pieces.

I wonder how Beason feels knowing he took someone's retirement away from them.

1) Lol there would be no fuging players if every college player out there that receives money/benefits/whatever in college was suspended. They are not under contract for any NFL team, there is no grounds to punish them.

2) "when you leave your school to pick up the pieces" ... because the schools didn't know anything about this/and or encouraged it? if they truly had nothing to do with it then they would be fine.

3) I'm sure Beason knew the guy was stealing all that money.

why are you trolling? I usually like your posts, but this is retarded.

I'm not sure what you're referring to or what that has to do with the values the sports instill in it's participants.

If you don't like the NBA as an organization, that's one thing, but it's not a good reason to condemn an entire sport.

[TheRealDeal]

If the NFL wanted, they could find grounds to fine or suspend players, cite some obscure language in the Personal Conduct Policy.

They don't have to do it retroactively for all cases, but this is current and do it in the future. Give these kids a reason not to break the rules, a free education apparently isn't enough for them. Threaten them with their dream but make it known beforehand, that way they have no excuses.

It's literally the only way.

I don't condemn basketball, it's a great workout during lunch and it's fun to play on Thursday nights.

It's no football, and it should remain that way.

Nothing will come of this. Beason and the others would only have to repay victims if they knew the money's true source and, even then, a good NFL lawyer could probably get them out of that too.

And as for the NFL suspending these guys, that's the most goddamned idiotic thing I've ever heard. This would be like your current employer disciplining you for something you did while working somewhere else years ago. What business is it of theirs and why should they care if you'd been a model employee at your time with your current employer?

I said this a week ago. Now it seem some of our players will take a small to medium hit in their wallets.

And like I told u a week ago... Nothing to worry about!

Stop trying to stir up BS around here

Improper benefits is to the NCAA what tampering is to the NFL.

Virtually everyone is doing it, but a blind eye is turned unless a situation blows up and forces the hand of the NCAA or NFL. That's just the way it works.

It's blowing up a lot more nowadays.

Want coaches to to be more aware and accountable at the collegiate level? Enforce the same penalties that the institutions receive to the coach, and he has to take those penalties with him if he gets a new HC gig.

Absolutely. The school and kids get nailed, but the coach just skips town and gets another job. If a school hires a known offender, they should face even stiffer penalties when they get nailed.

Calipari has been doing it for years. He's had Final Four seasons vacated at both UMass and Memphis. Does anyone have any doubt that he's going to get Kentucky nailed eventually?
