Title: Alabama Players’ Relationship with T-Town Menswear Store Could be Problematic Post by: ssmith general on July 22, 2011, 05:23:41 AM Hopefully nothing to this. Idk who Larry Brown is...
Quote The relationship between Alabama football players and T-Town Menswear store in Tuscaloosa could prove to be an issue for the school, Clay Travis’ points out on his new website Outkick the Coverage. The Facebook page for the men’s clothing store boasts about several autograph signings with Bama players from the football team, some of whom were students at the time while others were not. The store champions itself as “Bama’s #1 clothing store,” and they have several framed jerseys and football pictures on the wall. http://larrybrownsports.com/college-football/alabama-players-relationship-with-t-town-menswear-store-could-be-problematic/78476 Title: Re: Alabama Players’ Relationship with T-Town Menswear Store Could be Problematic Post by: Chechem on July 22, 2011, 05:40:44 AM :o
... and all of our players must wear ties (and suits?) to the game. :o Title: Re: Alabama Players’ Relationship with T-Town Menswear Store Could be Problematic Post by: BAMAWV on July 22, 2011, 05:54:16 AM Be real careful falling into Clay Travis' trap. He leads you to believe there is more to come, but if he had a smidgeon of proof you can bet he'd be using it. These guys can't look outside to see if it is raining without being asked for an autograph. Every store in Alabama has either Tide or tiger gear/memorabelia, or both. Clay Travis is not our friend-- snake in the grass.

Clay Travis is not our friend-- snake in the grass. I agree; if he had anything he'd use it. But like I've said numerous times over the past 6 months, collateral damage of these investigations will impact Alabama too. This is an example. If the NCAA is sniffing around, they'll uncover smut. Hopefully it'll all be Booger smut. But when the Boogs finally get their LOI, they'll try to drag down everyone else. Title: Re: Alabama Players’ Relationship with T-Town Menswear Store Could be Problematic Post by: BAMAWV on July 22, 2011, 06:25:35 AM The NCAA relies on schools self reporting. Schools that have prior history and/or probation can ill afford not to report every little thing. Even if the internal investigation is wrapped up before the complianced people notify the NCAA, this nit picky stuff still makes headlines. A team that is off the NCAA radar does better to overlook the little stuff and not attract attention.

BTW, the chatter I've heard is Okie and UTenn are getting the NCAA eye (yes, UT again). Recruiting, shopping players, agents...

This just happened as an offset to the Scam and his $4000 suits.

I also believe this was sent to Clay by the minions at the bunker. I saw this first on Tigerdroppings.

He's just trying to make a name for his website and make a few bucks. If he's bias in any way it's towards Good Old Rocky Flop.

Any little thing at Bama over the next few years could be devastating.

There are so many rules that teams just ask for the guidelines and push the envelope (go to the edge of what's allowed and play there). Alabama will be watched. The NCAA knows the SEC is the tops, and they're watching every day. Just be happy if the violations are all minor. You know we've had numerous violations during the past year, right? Most don't make the national press. Title: Re: Alabama Players’ Relationship with T-Town Menswear Store Could be Problematic Post by: SUPERCOACH on July 22, 2011, 08:08:12 AM Welcome td57.

I think Travis has outkicked his coverage. :) I think that is a good name for his site. To me it means he is making accusations that go for beyond the evidence he has.

I believe the report we released a couple weeks ago said that the Athletic Dept reported 44 or 45 minor violations in the past 24 months. That's about one every couple weeks. Compliance is a daunting task.

I never like to see any violations, and secondary violations will get you scrutinized even further if nothing else, but it sounds like to me that this falls under the minor category. Not trying to gloss over, but just what it seems like.

Still won't stop the boogs from cracking out the propaganda, and people like Clay "Reporting" the information. Title: Re: Alabama Players’ Relationship with T-Town Menswear Store Could be Problematic Post by: rueben on July 22, 2011, 10:11:21 AM Players can sign as many autographs as they want, as long as they receive no compensation for it.
Title: Re: Alabama Players’ Relationship with T-Town Menswear Store Could be Problematic Post by: Marshal Dillon on July 22, 2011, 10:15:16 AM Hey guys, let's not blow this off like it's nothing. We are on probation and don't need any more headaches. I don't care how much compliance you have, some of these football players are big kids in big bodies. If any of this is true, then the university has to make that store off-limits to ALL athletes. They do this in the Army if a place discriminates against a soldier for any reason. It works.

If any of this is true, then the university has to make that store off-limits to ALL athletes. They do this in the Army if a place discriminates against a soldier for any reason. It works. You're questioning whether or not the store may have tried to get the players to break rules by offering discounts in exchange for autographs? That is a huge probem, but we're not saying the store did anything wrong either. Just that it is possible. That is an age old question and leads to who is responsible. The players and boosters are the ones that are educated on this, sitting through classes outlining what is legal and not legal on these matters. The general public is not. Also it matters as to whether or not the store is owned by boosters or average john Q public. :dog: Title: Re: Alabama Players’ Relationship with T-Town Menswear Store Could be Problematic Post by: rueben on July 22, 2011, 11:38:13 AM Chill.

According to ESPN’s Joe Schad via a series of tweets, “Alabama has looked into relationship between players like TRichardson and T-Town menswear. Alabama concluded players did not receive extra benefits. Alabama sent cease and desist letter to company in December.”
