Updated: Suspended Players Update #1003

[t-gator]

I doubt we'll get any NCAA sanctions. It would simply be nice if this could get us out of Mac's fat contract.

Either way, I'd trade a bowl ban for macs firing in a heartbeat.

Anyone know who the 3rd player is that might be in more trouble than the others like Jordan Smith and Callaway?

I read somewhere maybe Wells? I'm probably wrong.

That's one rumor going around, and he's already proven he's a dumbass

That IS the sanction. We have to keep Butters.

 

[Marianna-FL_Gator]

So is Scarlett back with the team?

That's the rumor...still trying to get confirmation on it.

He isn't listed on the depth chart that was released yesterday.

Haven't you guys learned not to doubt Mari?

 

[Blacklabgator]

I thought we had 30+ players involved. Multiple programs and were looking at the death penalty ?

Yep, Swonkey said 3 dozen, so that's about right.

You need to reread both posts.

If he is back, at a minimum, it means he has repayed extra benefits and has the blessing of the NCAA, I would think. I can't imagine us letting him play without their blessing.

It also means the criminal investigations as to the gator1 cards are going to take a while, which isn't much of a surprise.

I've read all of them. Don't feel like quoting everything off my phone. And there's been like 50 posts I could quote from as to this was almost as bad as the Corleone Family.

We'll see. You folks claimed it was nothing, certainly no one be indicted because credit card fraud wasn't really a crime, and that (once the suspensions were announced) it would be over in one game.

My sources have been spot on so far but you can keep hoping.

9 kids involved in credit card fraud? Man, that's kids being kids. Total overreaction. Happens everywhere. GPD is just hard asses and hates us. It's not even the kids fault. They were probably framed by the Gainesville police.

 

[GatorStud]

The point is program focus... football and responsibility or shaking down and thieving hundreds of dollars I piss away for lunch every few months. You get rid of the repeat offenders. If the HC can't control the asylum, then, you run his ass out of town. The worst coaches are your "best friend", the daddy persona, love, flowers and yet another learning experience. We're not paying for real life Judge Judy drama... hotel reservations and prime time good times are long overdue

You also said it wasn't just football involved. More suspensions were imminent and all would be charged with felonies.

I never said that. And certainly never said all would be charged with felonies. Find the post that confused you. I am going to assume you aren't just flat out lying and it is an honest mistake.

In fact I said very specifically that although all were potentially chargeable as felonies, at least the ones who were claiming their Gator1 cards were lost and denying the valid charges, and that first offenders would likely get misdemeanor pleas or even diversions.

UPD will have to file reports and complaints soon.

 

[Blacklabgator]

We are only at the tip of this. Im told the "I lost my credit card and someone else must have used it, give me another with my full dollar amount on it, oops I did it again" scheme is wideranging and at least two years long. NCAA is investigating that as extra benefits and lack of institutional control for us failing to supervise the kids reissuing the cards.

Im also still hearing that the nine are just the first wave.

Lets hope it isnt as big as some think.

Here's one for you

 

[Blacklabgator]

If This truly involves, say, three dozen players getting 5 to $10,000 extra per semester over at least two years we probably aren't looking at just a one-year Bowl ban.

the rumors are that it's pretty much all the south Florida kids.

Here's another

 

[Swamp Donkey]

You know those don't say anything like what you said, correct? Are you posting from an iphone 2 with a very small screen or something?

 

[Blacklabgator]

And I remember you specifically saying anything over 100'was a felony.
