Florida State vs Charleston Southern


Sep 9, 2016, 11:29 AM

Here is the other side of the coin, 30 suspended for using book money to buy pens, notebooks, etc at book store. NCAA will not come down on any big schools, but watch out below. Absolute double standards and stupid.

I know it's stupid and a harsh penalty, but they did break the rules. If they were not informed then that's on the administration.

Okay the administration or book store messed up, however it is the students that are getting punished. The school gets paid for the game no matter what, since it is a money game.

Yes a rule, but not right.

I'm curious what they mean when they say they purchased, "electronics". It may not be as innocent as we think.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

What "electronics" can you buy at a school bookstore?


Sep 9, 2016, 12:31 PM

iphones?

Calculators are more likely. Plus, there wouldn't be enough money left after books to cover a new iPhone 6S or Samsung galaxy, much less an iMac.

Players are getting screwed because the University screwed up.

I was thinking calculators too, but why not say it like that? 'Electronics' is awfully vague.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It can't be anything of any real value


Sep 9, 2016, 12:59 PM [ in reply to What "electronics" can you buy at a school bookstore? ]

like you said maybe calculators, which can be a little expensive depending on the model. Or they might sell things like ear buds or phone chargers, portable batteries something along those lines but I would be truly surprised if it was anything more than that. Especially at a school like Charleston Southern, I doubt there book store would be stocked with laptops, tablets, and phones.

Bingo.. most on here are being extremely short sided and

Jumping all over the ncaa.

If it was ok to use "left over" school money on anything at the bookstore, 2 things wold happen.

1) mississippi's book store would immediately start stocking $3000 gold chains

2) scar's bookstore would immediately install a vd clinic.

Both schools would significantly increase the amount of money they give their football players for books.

Geville Tiger on Clemson football , "Dabo's only problem is he has to deal with turd fans questioning every move he makes.”


Yes they broke the rules


Sep 9, 2016, 1:07 PM [ in reply to Re: Florida State vs Charleston Southern ]

but the thing is at a power 5 school those players would never be suspended. If this happened at Clemson it would be considered a minor infraction and the players would have to return the items or pay back the money but that would be it. The public would more than likely never hear anything about it unless it was some kind of rumor being passed around on a message board, probably by a coot. If I walked into the book store when I was 18 and they said you have $100 left after you pay for your books and if you don't spend it right here right now then you will never see that money again I would do the exact same thing and not think twice about it. One because they are telling me to and they are a school employee and second because it's in a book store and what could you possibly buy that would be considered an extra benefit in a school book store.

It's considered a minor infraction at Charleston Southern


Sep 9, 2016, 3:36 PM

as well. This isn't an NCAA sanction. The school is sanctioning itself.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

not ncaa. it was the school that did this.
