re: Tyrann Mathieu to be featured on cover of Sports Illustrated...

The more I reflect on this, the more infuriated I become at SI's unprofessional recklessness. They clearly set out to do a personal interest story on Mathieu and, in the midst of their research, stumbled onto these "promotional" activities. On the barest pretext and with hardly any credible evidence of intent (or even remuneration), they decided to recharacterize youthful frivolity as "potential NCAA violations." What a load of complete sh*t. The kid appeared in some amateur videos with his friends and touted a f*cking party. A party. What benefits did he allegedly recieve? A waived cover charge, access to the VIP section, free drinks? By that standard, I guess every attractive female college athlete in history has committed NCAA infractions.
The problem is that, despite the flimsiness and frivolity of the accusations, the NCAA will feel compelled to meddle and respond because of Sports Illustrated's renown and reputation. If this nonsense affects Freak's eligibility for even a quarter, I will stab someone.

Freak is still playing
Should tell everyone how serious these charges are from SI
The Lsu compliance department is one of the most strict in the country.

It really is upsetting. TM7 basically participated in a recreational hobby with his buddies from high school and SI takes what could have been a good human interest story and turns it into a speculative inconclusive smear job.
