[QUOTE="Eight, post: 2730464, member: 73370"] i agree that there is a very good chance that coach o isn't directly involved with any wrong doings and i do find it plausible he really doesn't know the details of any wrong doings. not making fun of him, simply going by past history at other incidents at other schools. here is a link to barry tramel's august 2006 article written in response to the big red sports and import scandal in which starting quarterback rhett bomar and starting offensive guard j.d. quinn were on the big red payroll, but never worked at big red. some might recall that when big red was asked to provide payroll records for some reason big red couldn't find any payroll records for any employees during the time period in question. my favorite part of the article however is adrian peterson rolling around in a leased lexus and his father being paroled from a texas prison to a halfway house in oklahoma city and landing a job at a car lot of a sooner booster in edmond with a history of "issues" with the program and the ncaa. [URL]https://oklahoman.com/article/2825273/tradition-of-scandal-returns[/URL] next is an article from the august 1993 new york times discussing the resignation of university of washington coaching legend don james. james' dawg team won a co-national title in 1991 and the program was investigated by the pac 10 at the urging of stanford coach bill walsh. family who are uw alums will tell you that james was very open he nor the athletic department did not keep track of the type of cars their players drove and uw had no athletic dorm so they weren't even sure exactly where all there kids lived while in school. two big issues jumped out. first, starting quarterback billy job hobart while on a summer trip to idaho met a guy who wasn't even a uw alum playing golf and the guy loaned hobart $50,000 in hope of a future business relationship once hobart turned pro. second was an alumi group called the huskie hunters was formed and they were were directly contacting high school prospects for the school, saying they represented the school, and would provide information back to the program. [URL]https://www.nytimes.com/1993/08/23/sports/football-huskies-don-james-quits-over-penalties.html[/URL] finally, i have been told multiple times by multiple people that when jim wacker took over the program at tcu he called a meeting with the players and told them the payments was going to stop and called a meeting among key alums and told them the payments were going to stop. not sure what else wacker could have done when a decision was made to continue to make payments to a group of players regardless of his expressed requests and anyone who ever met jim wacker knows this wasn't a wink-wink-nod-nod comments similar to rick pitino and his stripper comments at louisville [/QUOTE]
