    Up until 3 or 4 years ago I used to buy a copy of the Advocate every day. The daily edition was 75 cents and Sunday $2. One Thanksgiving morning I bought a copy and they charged me $2. As we all know Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday. I asked why the $2 and told the cashier it might seem like a Sunday since it's a holliday but it's really Thursday. She told me the increased charge was because of all the extra content. The extra content was all the merchants ads for Black Friday sales. The Advocate made big money on all those ads and then want the customer to pay extra for all the extra paper they had to use to print the ads.

    I CALL BULLSHIT!

    Seems we are on the higher end with our offers.

    Regardless the outcome with the ncaa, this may force woodys hand. Not good. If hes kept its the Scarlett letter and a really bad look bc the media and coaches singled wade out long before this.

    Ny autocorrect is adding fucked up words for some reason. See.

    Is WW on tape saying he is going to pay Reid $300k? I don't think so. I think it's someone else saying WW told him that. If I'm correct, it's a case of he said/she said.

    Yes but it's like Cleveland. More smoke on the water.

    Do you think the NCAA is going to pursue it? I think it's smoke from a match.

    Whether the NCAA will investigate I have no way of knowing but the way these things keep popping up it's a good bet they will sooner or later.

    The NCAA doesn't have the resources to pursue investigating everyone suspected of paying players. My ample gut tells me it's a big number.
