Alabama Players’ Relationship with T-Town Menswear Store Could be Problematic

[ssmith general]

Hopefully nothing to this.  Idk who Larry Brown is...

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.

... and all of our players must wear ties (and suits?) to the game.

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.

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.

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.

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

I agree, Mr. Travis has evil on his mind. This just happened as an offset to the Scam and his $4000 suits.

Could this just be the next “TREE” deflection scenario?

Yep, and guess who is at the SEC Conference today.

Hello, td.  Welcome.

Good guess.  The Boogers are probably having to write all of this down for Chizik.  He'll have a 4X6 card in his hand to help him remember the "facts" when he's asked.

I just have a hard time believing, as much as Coach Saban is a stickler for running a clean program, that he would allow this if it is against NCAA or SEC bylaws. I also believe this was sent to Clay by the minions at the bunker. I saw this first on Tigerdroppings.

I saw this on Tigerdroppings.  Unless you hear it from Bama's compliance people, it never mattered.

Not trying to give credence to anything Clay Travis writes, but he's not trying to deflect anything away from Auburn with this story.  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.

Thanks. I joined a while back and just returned, looking for a good site. Don't post much but like to keep up with what's going on without a bunch crap.
I like what's going on here with some good posters.

Yep. And you can't blame him for that. I have to wonder where the info originated. Is he going to "investigate and report" or read blogs and report?
In any case I hope this goes nowhere. Any little thing at Bama over the next few years could be devastating.
