Certain Groups' Speculation Over Team Violations

[ciaomichael]

Aw, did someone take Cliff Levingston's jacket again and give it to another player? For shame, for shame.

It is not against NCAA regulations for athletes to have jobs. I know the employers have to fill out a crap-load of paperwork and I know that the WSU compliance office takes this stuff very seriously.

This. I have done this. It was clean as a whistle and there was no funny business at all. It's ok for the guys to have jobs, and I don't want to hear the first flipping things from KU fan. That program is FILTHY and you needn't look past Bill Self's neighbor to see how and why. There's more cash changing hands between Doug Compton and KU athletes than you can shake a stick at. GFY KU.

I heard that MSU is a big crystal meth front, and they are using the team bus to distribute the product to college kids at all the other MVC schools. The players pack their bags with the stuff and never have to go through security. Lusk collects the cash after the game out back. This needs to be investigated by the NCAA.

A couple things. There is no sense in getting bent out of shape over whats going on in Lawrence. It would be like trying to report every program in the SEC for violations in football. Nothing will come of it.

Seocondly, there is ZERO point in discussing what is happening at WSU. Marshall has taken a group of unherlded recruits, guys no major program wanted, (other than FVV) and turned them into a beast with solid fundamental basketball. Hardly the type of players that would seek out financial gains for playing college ball.

Third, Marshal has done this same thing at Winthrop. Do you really suspect that Winthrop has the type of boosters to throw money at kids? Doubtfull.

I would disregard the speculation if it were me. I would also not give them what they are looking for on other boards, an arguement.

I bought a truck from Lubbers East in Andover just days after we had lost to VCU in the tourney, and as I was signing the paperwork Armstead, Hall and Anacreon walked in the door. I talked to them a few minutes and had my wife take a picture of me and my son with Carl and James. They said they drove lot cars back and forth from Cheney to Andover. Personally I don't see a problem with a college student having a job. Especially since one was a father.

No doubt illegal activity but probably not an NCAA violation as long as the proper paperwork is done.

Don't all of their players work in Branson at the Baldknobbers show?

The players weren't willing to have most of their teeth pulled.

Most of the MSU fans that I know think it's pretty cool that WSU is undefeated. It's too bad that a few idiots can make a whole fan base look like classless morons.

[Rosewood]

I once read on the internet that teens are pooping in bottles and getting high off the fumes! So that has to be true -- right?

You gotta learn to ignore that ****.

My main reason for starting this thread was because I hadn't even heard of Baker or Coleby working there and was curious. I, in no way, believed these person's speculations to be true, I was just curious as to whether any aspect of what they were saying could be backed with evidence.

I have a first hand account which would strongly suggest that there is some "sketchy" activity going on in Lawrence, or at least that there was at one time.

I believe all of those people from the Athletic Department who ended up in the federal penitentiary because of the ticket thing are still there.

Several of their posters can't stand the fact the WSU is a very successful program. It's the same group that wants MSU to move to the Sunbelt. They don't get it.

There was a suggestion from more than one poster that they drop football so they would have the finances to focus on basketball. What an excellent idea! Hope someone was paying attention.

[Veritas]

No.... They work in Branson AS a Baldknobber. Therefore, they mainly get tips (in one form or another).

I believe this could be said of our own fan base.

Back in the 90s I had the opportunity to work with several players that were working for my dad and absolutely everything was legit. Nail-on-the-head BTW about ku. Based on what I understand about players that WSU might have been interested in that have ended up at ku there is no doubt in my mind that funny things go on to the north of us.
