Quote South Carolina acknowledged Monday the school received a notice of allegations from the NCAA regarding possible violations by its football program and other sports. The charges spelled out by the NCAA include claims that 12 student-athletes received an estimated $47,000 in impermissible benefits from a local hotel through reduced rent and that nine players received special arrangements to pay at a later date. It is also alleged that two people deemed representatives of the school made impermissible contact with recruits and provided them impermissible benefits. The violations were said to have occurred between spring 2009 and February 2011.

But it looked less severe than this. This has the look of widespread problems in several sports. We're talking loss of scholarships and some lost playing time (for those involved) or worse (if they dig up anything else).

Earlier this month, the NCAA suspended freshman receiver Damiere Byrd four games and ordered him to repay $2,700 in impermissible benefits before he can play for the Gamecocks. Byrd's father, Adrian, is a vice president with the foundation. The NCAA "can blackball me forever," Gordon said Monday by phone.

Sorry to hi-jack here, but college is available to everyone who has the will to do so (exceptions here may be young people who are supporting their mother and/or younger siblings, but these are special circumstances). They LOVE to give out student loans and poor kids get pell grants too. It's easier to have an excuse than to go do it.

She is Gabriel something. She played in the movie 'Precious' and had a nomination for an Academy award for her role. I didn't see the film. Now here is the inner city kid that Pres Gordon is so worried about. I believe he had 30 scholarship offers.

This was in the works while he was being recruited, and it was one reason that Bama had a chance at him (with this hanging over USCe).

At that time - 13 months ago - the NCAA had already been conducting interviews. I'd forgotten about it. Just another example of how the NCAA works slowly.
What shocks me the most about this story is that the impermissible benefits were still ongoing for at least 6 months after the NCAA was already investigating it. What the hell, Gamecocks? Lack of institutional control, have we? |
