You better have some rough ridin' answers, Currie.

I think he runs a "large tent."  I believe that he believed that most of his constituency would be behind him, AND that he'd show prospective employers that he improved the facilities and donations at KSU whilst staying compliant...and a compliance "event" is just icing on the cake.

 "Compliance events" are icing on the cake? Yes, I'm sure Florida would love to have a few high profile "compliance events" during bowl season or the week before the uga game. They love that kind of crap.

The Alabama president would show him the rough ridin' door right then and there.

That's why they have 12 National Championships.

I know, but i was just making a point. Bama was a bad example.

I know, I was just making a LOL.  Came out mean-ish sounding.

To be fair, every school that pays more than KSU would be a bad example.

I've had a good 12 hours to digest this and four hours of driving from Manhattan to Oklahoma with nothing but my thoughts and some jams to listen to. I'm still angry. Not because we lost. I'm angry that athletes like Jamar, Jacob, and CK get made scapegoats out of by our stoolpigeon athletic department for doing the most minor of minor transgressions (or in Jamar's case, maybe no transgressions at all). John Currie throwing student athletes under the bus makes me angry enough, but what's worse is that the tucks/townies will eat this up and will use this as ammo that our basketball program is "clearly out of control" and Frank is an unhinged madman who shouldn't represent K-State.

This is what they want. Student athletes getting thrown under the bus if they don't fit the shirt tuck mold of a student-athlete from the rough ridin' 1950's. Recruiting classes full of five-hearts from Goodland and Junction City. Mediocre results as long as every last rough ridin' thing is done "the right way." See a basketball player in the hallway and he picks up a quarter lying on the ground? Someone clearly left that for him and it's an impermissible benefit. Gotta turn him in so we can do things "the right way." After all, he's black, so he can't be trusted with any money that's not given to him by KSU, right?

eff this crap. Pete's right, unionization has to happen for college players, and damned soon. This is just straight up abusive.

Alabama would be happy to have a guy with a clean compliance record.  They just make it clear during the interview process that sort of stuff is taken seriously, and that there is a "chain of command" that things have to run through so problems disappear in the process.

[Trim]

Curtis Malone is a "suit?"

Yeah this was simultaneously bemusing and befuddling

[jtksu]

An entire thread devoted to melting down over hearsay and personal guesses about Jamar.  Just when I think our fanbase can't possibly be any dumber...

[TBL]

You know, this event has brought about an interesting idea. What would happen if someone would email an athletic department from a soon-to-be-played school and said that one/two/three of their players violated some nca2 rule, whether true or not. Maybe even telling that school that a "cc" had been sent to nca2 compliance? Would that keep certain "star" players from enjoying the fun of playing in a major game? Only a thought, but it does show how easy it is for a lone douchebag to totally screw up a season.

[Rage Against the McKee]

So, if we don't suspend him, and just for shits & giggles, lets say Jamar makes up a 16 point difference (LOL), and we beat 'Cuse...then this week, or next month, whenever it comes to light that Jamar DID have eligibility issues and we forfeit everything...you guys that hate Currie now would have his back then?

If it IS 'just' $200 from a family friend, I agree it looks bad, but it isn't like Currie is handed a dossier with 100% of the facts (i.e. he doesn't know if that $200 is a one time thing, or the only thing he knows about right now). He has to make a judgement call based on what he has, and he HAS to take Jamar's history of boneheaded decisions into account.

just sayin

These kind of quotes absolutely astonish me. We lost by 20 because we didn't give up at the end and kept fouling. If Jamar would have made even a 6 point difference, that could have been all that we needed.

[CrushNasty]

Love Pete in this thread.      (Except he missed on the "Currie is doing this for his resume" point.)

LOSC's Malone-Cuse theory is hilarious, too.

[CrushNasty]

I feel bad for everyone that ever again has to hit the recruiting trail with this in their rear-view mirror.

[CrushNasty]

Not the biggest point, but...


if we can't feed Jamar, then i just..... idk where to rough ridin' start with our athletic department...

[CatsFan_58]

Frank was quoted after game saying he believed that Jam did nothing wrong, and that all other questions should be directed to the AD....was tweeted by sporting news.

Frank is a pathetic excuse for a basketball coach.   LOL at anyone blaming this crap show on currie.  LOFLz

You're worse than JT, Dobbie and Fanning combined.

I know they just gave computer privileges down at achievement services...

[ednksu]

do I have the cliffs right

*Jamar gets $200 from Malone for food
*some townie reports it to K-State
*JC decides to sit Jamar even with a legit 'out' as MIR indicates with the prior relationship rule (hope I didn't screw that up)
*JC issues no statements and allows excessive tuckism to erupt
*NCAA did not suspend Jamar or indicate their leaning one way or the other
*tucks support the decision while fans who live in the real world become mind mumped

[sonofdaxjones]

jttuck says its "hearsay".

So, Malone didn't wire Jamar $200, it is not understood that this may not have even been an NCAA violation, Jamar was NOT suspended for the game by the athletic department for doing something that MAY NOT have been an NCAA violation.   It was not reported that a 3rd party narc'd on Jamar when he received a wire transfer from Curtis Malone. 

Again, it's all "hearsay" according to jttuck.

[wetwillie]

I really hope we get a name in regards to where the leak came from, currie will get away with his sins but we need a sacrificial lamb.

When emaw is under attack, you always come through.

[sonofdaxjones]

Now the Fitz is saying that Samuels getting the money from Malone was an NCAA violation, because the Malone/Samuels relationship, despite going back years was "rooted in basketball".    How do they determine that? 

[Bill Clarahan]

There arent very many people that im ashamed to have associated with K-State, but Currie just about penciled himself in with Krause and BTK.

Krause would not have done this

[Tobias]

why are there so many people in positions of influence that openly want us to fail?  it's infuriating
