Floyd was recruiting Boatwright if my memory is correct

CTF burned the program down because of his recruiting questionable players during his tenure here who just didn't belong at a 4 year college. He did not and could not afford to even give a stick of gum to any AAU coach, recruit or parent without some ESPN, FOX or any sports outlet personnel from popping up from no where. I get why he was jumpy, however, he didn't win when he had too and he was in a UTEP HC friendly media market that he didn't use to his advantage.

My point is, to any of those charlatans who tried to work the system, UTEP was not an attractive market to pull it off. UTEP has been thru to much crap to pull off those pendejadas.

If I remember correctly UTEP was interested, he was not. Second, no one shows UTEP on his radar. NMSU shows up for him on rivals recruit search.

"(NCAA President) Emmert said he hopes the NCAA has a better understanding of the eligibility for current players affected by the FBI investigation by NCAA tournament Selection Sunday, which is March 11. He also wants to see changes implemented by the start of the 2018-19 season."

Robinson is a very double negative kind of guy...but its refreshing that he didn't take money.

I found it funny when LBJ said that the NCAA is "corrupt", but that if he was gonna play college basketball he would have been "rich".

That's cool. My therapist told me years ago I'm a "help rejecting complainer". Never been offered an outright bribe in my life though; so I don't know how I would've responded if offered. But as Molly Hatchet famously sang, was "flirting with disaster" once or twice in my life.

The same LeBron who's poor mother bought him a $50,000 Hummer in high school. Hmmm

Yes. That hummer was financed based on future income, not his mother's credit. Lebron almost lost his senior year because of that greed. His mother could have bought him a vehicle for a few thousand dollars like my father did for me.

It just goes to show the hypocrisy though. Yes the NCAA is corrupt, but so are the players/families that except money. And for any of you that want to, please don't give me any crap about how people are poor or that these players deserve money before its earned. Still doesn't make it right.

 

[Randaddy Miner]

Well if the finance company wanted to take the risk based on future income, why blame the player?

If Floyd is on the list, he's even a horrible cheater!
