I wondered the same thing. If the player actually paid for the car, and just got a better deal than the NCAA thought he should have, that seems pretty strange, since there is so much variety in car prices. I guess it's the fact that a booster helped him get the car and had so much contact with him and that our coach didn't report it that's the problem.
Also, what is it with our players and cars? First Kevin Fant with tires and now Will Redmond with a car.
Is the probation an automatic bowl ban or not?
No. It's a "don't 17 up anytime soon".Is the probation an automatic bowl ban or not?
So we basically got in trouble for one of our alumni selling a car for a really good deal?
Fnck you.
Freedom of Information Act.What was the name of the dealership or is that privy information?
Devinner is a damn Bear........
Yep - they added 3 things.
- Public reprimand and censure.
- Two years of probation from June 7, 2013 through June 6, 2015.
- A one-year show-cause order for the former assistant coach, which prevents him from recruiting activities and booster interaction. The public report contains further details.
not. Don't flatter yourself.
During one such conversation, in
July 2011, prospect 1 mentioned to the representative that he and his sister were going to
take an unofficial visit to the institution but did not have a car to drive. The
representative responded that he "knew a guy who owns a car shop" and provided him a
phone number of a friend of the representative ("representative's friend"). The
representative's friend is also an alumnus of the institution and owns an automobile
dealership. When prospect 1 phoned him, the representative's friend agreed to provide
prospect 1 with a vehicle to drive to campus for the visit. The distance between prospect
1's hometown and the institution is approximately 175 miles. Prospect 1 stated that he
provided "$50 to $60" to the representative's friend for the use of the vehicle.

now we are supposed to believe that it wasn't OM that the booster didn't want Redmond visiting?
One can't be an alumni of one school and fan of another? I know several OM fans that graduated from State
When did the NCAA get in the business of appraising cars? I'm calling ******** on that.
car are the same person. Dig a little bit more.

On January 6, 2012, the representative and hisfriend provided an automobile to prospect
1, through prospect 1's mother, for a price approximately $2,000 below the actual value
of the vehicle. The vehicle was originally purchased by an automobile sales business run
by the representative's friend's uncle for $8,000 on December 6, 2011. The initial buyer
then transferred ownership of the vehicle to the representative's friend's dealership for
$5,000 before the representative's friend subsequently transferred the vehicle again, this
time to the dealership from which prospect 1's mother made the purchase on January 6,
2012. Department of Motor Vehicle records show that she paid $3,450 for the vehicle on
that date. The institution had the vehicle appraised during the investigation and found it
to be worth approximately $5,500.
Well, Items 1 and 3 were givens, and we had suggested one year probations, so essentially the NCAA added a second year probation.
Bearhunter knows everything already...don'tcha know??
I think the difference is that I don't claim to know anything other than what is in the report.
I'm sorry that I called ******** on your friend. If he had just read the whole infractions report, he would have known not to repeat that an OM guy was the car seller when the report said the guy was a MSU guy.
Speaking of people knowing everything, where is that police report you told us about?
You know all about that, right? Here is what I know about that situation...you were partially correct, but your story was sensationalized before it was posted.
