NCPA President Calls for Investigation Into K-State Suspension of Jamar Samuels
Article Brief

Samuels, who is from a low-income single-parent family, reportedly accepted $200 for food from his long-time family friend and former AAU coach. Upon learning of these allegations, Kansas State suspended Samuels just shortly before what would have been his final game, seemingly without any form of due process... .

Riverside, CA— The National College Players Association (NCPA) is calling on Kansas State to launch an investigation into whether or not the university violated basketball player Jamar Samuels’ rights guaranteed to him as a Kansas State student.  Samuels, who is from a low-income single-parent family, reportedly accepted $200 for food from his long-time family friend and former AAU coach.  Upon learning of these allegations, Kansas State suspended Samuels just shortly before what would have been his final game, seemingly without any form of due process.  Kansas State appears to have ended Samuels’ college career without granting him the basic rights that it guarantees all of its students as outlined in the Kansas State Student Code of Conduct.

NCPA President Ramogi Huma sent a letter to Kansas State President Kirk Schulz calling for an investigation into whether or not Samuels was denied his rights as a Kansas State student. 

Huma stated, “We are calling for an investigation to determine whether or not Kansas State violated one of its student’s rights on behalf of the NCAA.”

The Kansas State Student Government Association Bylaws outline various rights afforded to students accused of violating the Code of Conduct including knowledge of their rights, a fair hearing, and the right to appeal a decision.

In addition to the process of the suspension, the NCPA is questioning the nature of the suspension.  “Whether or not Samuels received $200 for food, why would Kansas State or any other university subject their athletes to unjust rules that leave players valued at six figures living in poverty?” 

Huma is referring to an NCPA study conducted jointly with the Drexel University Department of Sports Management showing that the fair market value for the average basketball player at an FBS school is approximately $265,000 per year.  The study also revealed that NCAA rules leave 85% of these athletes living below the federal poverty line.  In 2010, Jamar Samuels and his teammates had a fair market value of $291,000 each but NCAA rules forces them to live approximately $4000 below the federal poverty line.  In contrast, John Currie, the athletic director who suspended Samuels received over $400,000 last year and outgoing head basketball coach Frank Martin is enjoying a salary of more than $1.5 million this year.

“There is a blatant conflict of interest at the heart of this suspension.  Universities nationwide are colluding with the NCAA to strip their players of their market value to such a degree that their athletes struggle to pay for basic necessities,” stated Huma.  The basketball players playing in this year’s Final Four have an average fair market value of a whopping $846,000 each but live more than $2000 below the federal poverty line.

Athletic director John Currie stated that once the university became aware of evidence that Samuels received the grocery money, “…to do nothing would have risked the integrity of the institution."  However questions about the integrity of the university’s actions in regards to protecting Samuels’ rights as a student have yet to be answered.  The NCPA hopes that an investigation will bring some answers.

Absolutely.  But he's smart to say, "No," and look mean rather than prove he is through an investigation.

people wish for something that would lead to currie's dismissal to be uncovered.  no one entertains the idea that major violations could be found, as if this truly was a one time deal so that jamar could "feed his family."

Currie getting run off or fired doesn't help K-State IMO. Its similar to a coach being unsuccessful. At best it leaves K-State at a neutral position, but probably makes K-State worse in the world of athletics, espicially if something impermissible from the NCAA is found. Best case scenario seems to me to be Weber having a successful couple years and Currie leaving for a better job if getting rid of Currie is what you really want. :ck:

Aside from this particular organization's agenda, some people seem to want the truth to come out so that Currie will go down.  I'm just saying that may not be the best idea.  Especially given that we know Frank's history of cheating his ass off while at Miami High.

Pretty sure becoming an NCAA athlete means Jamar waived a bunch of rights, including the one mentioned in the letter.

It's why K-State/NCAA can make money off Jamar's smile forever without compensating Jamar a cent.

It's in K-State's best interest to fire Currie before Snyder retires.  Otherwise, prepare yourselves for a oscar Weber type hire with the football program as well.  Currie needs to die.

This dude is asking for Schulz to investigate Currie.  He/she didn't call for NCAA, RCPD, KBI, FBI, CIA, NASA, or NAMBLA to investigate.  The end result would likely be another cruise or a matinee at Carmike.

who cares about that stupid article?  the pertinant topic is goEMAW butthurt.


does being butthurt mean pretty upset at some of the choices being made in our athletic dept or something else? i've been away from the board for a few days and need some clarification.

i think you need some anti-butthurt salve

i was assuming you could clarify since you've been using it. guess not. seems like the new motto around here is "deal with whatever the athletic dept does in a happy and positive way and if you don't like something, then get over it as quickly as possible or you're butthurt."  that's funny to me.

careful, i think you got some butthurt on your chin

someone is mad.  someone is butthurt.  could it be the same person?

The Frank/Currie/Weber stuff has gone so many different directions that all the better posters of goEMAW have gone in an equal number of different directions.  Everyone is now trying to show that the other side is wrong because they are more irrationally angry or they are no longer rebelious because they aren't more angry or any number of other anger or acceptance levels.  A consensus will slowly emerge somewhere in between and everyone will get back to agreeing with each other and then chum will start mocking the agreement.  circle of life you clowns.  fear the beard..

I imagine it's because once you resign yourself to the existing situation, it gets pretty old pretty quickly having people repeatedly gripe about stuff that they will have little to no effect over, at least in the near future. I can understand that.

I'm still griping because I'm still p.o.'d. And I think there's some value in continuing to voice displeasure with the way things went down over the last couple of months, to a) let other fans know that there are those who are still displeased, b) let the administration know that there are those who are still displeased. I guess the hope would be that continuing to voice displeasure now might have some effect on the way things go down in the future. Complaining around here is likely not very effective, but that's why I haven't been posting as much.

We all care a lot and have a lot invested in the success of K-State sports.  Some people who were initially anti-Currie / anti-Weber have talked themselves into it being okay as some sort of defense mechanism and now brand those who are still anti-Currie/Weber as "butthurt."  Seems pretty weak, but I guess I can understand given the traumatic nature of the last month. Maybe it is some form of PTSD, but whatever.

Looks blue just like the shirt print that was supposed to be purp.

Figured this would have been fixed by now.  Seems very amateurish.

Way to go, clams.
