What proof could K-State have possibly had? Western Union transactions are supposed to be confidential. The only thing K-State could have possibly had that constituted proof would be the testimony of one of the employees, and if that were the case, I sincerely hope that employee was turned into Western Union for a violation of their terms.
one possibility: they got the tip, asked jamar about it, and he confirmed the story. And what CC is saying is that you can't not ask as soon as you know about this crap. Especially when you consider how quickly and openly Curtis Malone talked.
This is what I think is going to come out.
1. Tip from person who should be fired
2. Currie to Frank - "ask Jamar"
3. Frank to Jamar "Did Curt send you $200?"
4. Jamar to Frank "yup"
5. Frank "shazbot!"
Yes, I would agree with that. And like you said, once Malone was connected it was over.
WHY? I'm getting quite aggravated at people questioning Malone because in this instance they're questioning how Jamar views Curtis. Jamar asked for the money because of how he views his relationship with Curtis. Jamar picked up the Western Union because of how he viewed his relationship with Curtis. Jamar admitted to taking the money because of how he viewed his relationship with Curtis. Curtis, Jamar, and several people around Jamar including his head coach and his long time girlfriend have said they didn't think they did anything wrong because I'm assuming 1, because of the prior relationship and 2, because he's done it before.
Essentially because Mike and Fatima took money from Joel Bell some (most) of you think he shouldn't ask a man for help who has helped his family for over a decade, that's bullshit and frankly tuckish. If the athletic department told him specifically not to take anymore money from Curtis Malone even though they knew he's done it in the past that's also bullshit. He shouldn't break ties with someone he's knows as long as he has because someone else Jamar knew for 18 months did something wrong. He shouldn't starve because Mike and Fatima wanted cash from an agent. If Jamar couldn't dunk a basketball, if he was Shawn Meyer or some dude on the track team no one here would be lining up to buy him food. In Malone's world Jamar's achievements aren't much, just another guy. If he wanted something other than to give a kid some money because he said he's hungry, he sure didn't pick a great target.
It's a shame that Jason fatass Whitlock and Dave Zirin realizes this and most of us who have an emotional, vested interest in taking Jamar at his word that his relationship with Curtis Malone was harmless, he was a friend with money quick to help him and his family when needed.
_fan, I quoted your post but I'm not specifically calling you out. There have been plenty of people saying that Jamar shouldn't have continued to be associated with Malone or the athletic department should have banned Jamar from associating with Malone. That's Mike & Fatima's cross to bear not Jamar's.
