Anything over $500 (like $5K) is 30%. Makes complete sense.

And a free tattoo is worth 42% of your games, apparently. KU should thank god Selby didn't get one of those.

Should have went all out and taken $5M worth of goods, then. Does Dillard's contain $5M worth of goods?

Benja · « **Reply #3 on:** December 23, 2010, 01:47:35 PM »

I heard 116 bucks today, so that's prob where the $16 came from. God, we are such adorable, small-timey cheaters.

I can't wait to see our small-timey fanbase boycott the MHK Dillards to the point that they have to close shop.

To be fair, Dillards is a pretty POS establishment anyway.

I actually hope that they do this. Would send a good message to local businesses.

I like the poll on the left side. This is either extremely good or extremely bad for us, apparently.

What's really rough ridin' pathetic about this is the fact that Dillard's contacted K-State for a $100 discount.

Christ. Did they come under their Nautica quota for the year and really miss that hundy? Were the Hilfiger jeans not moving?

Hell, banks come up short by that much money every day because the tellers screw up arithmetic.

Who was the shrew that called K-State about this? I mean, seriously?

CNS · « **Reply #11 on:** December 23, 2010, 02:15:54 PM »

I can't get over the diff between $300 and $6k is only 3 games. If I was a highly touted recruit, I would take huge sums of money knowing that if I got caught, I would only miss the scrub games and have to give it back. Gotta think the reward out weighs the risk.

If you are gonna steal, steal big.

Sounds like Pullen needs to go back and pick up about $150 more in benefits......

Is it bad that I'm more pissed off about how anti-MCMW we are than I am about the UNLV and UF games combined? No wonder Huggins left.

BITB said 102, Curtis has 9 game suspension

Oh, they will. They're just lucky this didn't come out before the Christmas shopping season started.

So, did CK sitting earlier count towards the suspension??

But what this should signal to all of us, is that our basketball program simply will not do anything significant because we simply are not going to cheat at a level that's required to do those things.

Oh well . . . we'll raise a banner to principal, ethics and good sportsmanship.

Well, the team is trying to cheat, but Dillards won't let them.

what a rough ridin' joke the NCAA enforcement is. Get small benefits and over punish. Take significant benefits (Selby) and get relatively nothing or huge pay-offs (Cam Newton) and get NO punishment. rough ridin' ridiculous.

AbeFroman · « **Reply #23 on:** December 23, 2010, 03:54:05 PM »

So if $100 = 3 games and $300 to $5000 = 9 games, that just reinforces the mantra of "Go big or go home"

Congrats NCAA.

Im all for cheating within the rules though. We should give each player a $99 gift card that they can spend where ever they please (Dillards, Twisted Apple Tattoo Parlor, etc.)
