blah blah blah, K-State doesn't have the worst compliance department in the NCAA, blah blah blah...

Quote
Even though Mendez hasn’t spoken, the investigation that Oklahoma State compliance officials started in late summer uncovered that Mendez bought a $5 drink at a bar for a player, said Fite, who declined to identify the player. The university self-reported the secondary violation to the NCAA, Fite said

Quote
During its investigation, the university also discovered that two players sold Xbox 360 with Kinect video game systems — gifts from the Alamo Bowl last year — to athletic department employees who did not know such transactions violated NCAA rules, Fite said.

Two sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told FOXSports.com that Mendez has bragged about not cooperating with the school’s compliance officers.

there is nothing to it, by reading the article.  osu reported everything and made sure the players returned the money.

Some other goodies:

Quote
But last year Blackmon, Oklahoma State redshirt senior wide receiver Hubert Anyiam and then-Cowboys running back Kendall Hunter attended a birthday party for Mendez’s stepdaughter. Mendez’s Facebook account until recently displayed photographs of the players posing separately with Mendez’s stepdaughter at the birthday party.

Mendez said he charged $50 for every item the players signed and gave them half the money, according to one of the sources. The other source also alleged the players were paid.

Quote
One of the sources told FOXSports.com that Mendez also bragged that he sold guest passes for Oklahoma State football games belonging to Cowboys players and split the money with them. The other source said Mendez admitted he sold guest passes but maintained he gave all the money to the players.

Mendez also was heavily involved in Oklahoma State players selling their guest passes to the 2010 Cotton Bowl, one of the sources said.

I guess T.Boone's money ain't enough. 

Whaddya think the odds are T. Boone puts a hit out on this guy?

Now that this is out there, we need to have an announcement that we will play in the Fiesta and Cotton bowls and accept both bags of money.
