Now is definitely not the time to even tempt the NCAA with anything no matter how minor.

Think they aren't going to hammer people after scandals continued even after USC's punishment? just off the top of my head Cam Newton, Auburn, Oregon recruiting services, Boise State and Ohio State all with embarrassing scandals in the last year. Ohio State is probably going to get hammered twice as hard because of the scandals elsewhere.

God didn't tell anyone to gift student athletes or recruits anything (even an old hat) and anyone that thinks god did should be seeking psychiatric help.

It. Was. A. Hat.

Get a grip, people. This is not a scandal. It's a hat. If anything, Green will have to pay Alamo $5. We are not going on probation, there will not be a bowl ban, we will not lose scholarships over this.

It seems like people are just looking for any reason to panic. Calm down.

Thank you. This thread is insane.

 
I think what's sad is the NCAA is actually required to enforce crap like "a hat" or a "sandwich" as receiving something improper. The reason all of this was set up was because back in the 60's and 70's kids were getting cars, cash, etc to play ball and of course the biggest schools usually got the bets players because they had the biggest war chests. And it pretty much happened everywhere even at dear old NU before it was a rule that you couldn't do that. I think everyone was pretty happy when those things stopped being allowed. (Unless you're in the SEC, USC, OSU, a duck or Texas who is currently being looked at as well).

 
What I want to know is when the NCAA puts some solid boundaries on rules like this? I mean, at this rate, I'm just waiting for a kid's grandma to make him a sandwich and it goes up in flames. Not like we haven't seen just as bizarre stuff coming to the surface this past year.

 
This has blown up way too much. I agree with with the people saying that this is minor/to nothing. The NCAA has many more things to worry about than a 10 - 15 year old hat. Was it right? In principle no. Will it string the university up by a rope? No. People are just so worked up about everything that has gone over the last year or two. The Big 12 trying to shaft us, the move to the Big 10, etc, the academics issue. Everyone just needs to calm down a bit I think. I have a feeling, once fall ball starts, we won't see so much of the gloom. The offseason is too long.
