I love they way SI, yahoo, and Espn treat stories like this. OMG players getting a little money and pussy to play football, the way these stories get covered you would think it involves murder or rape.

This is Thayer Evans wheelhouse. None of his "investigative reporting" has amounted to shite.

I don't give one frick. Some arse whipe as an agenda somewhere. frick SI and their shitty arse reporting. I think OU is scared and scrambling to bring little brother down.
Funny that T. Boone is not implicated in any of this. If they want this to be a legit hit piece, they need to quit being such vaginas and do some real reporting.
SI can lick the vinegar off my taint.

For anyone to be naive enough to believe Miles didn't know about what was going on in his football program, come on look at him at LSU does that really sound like Miles? That is not Miles, whatever happened Miles knew what went on. I just hope most of it went on under Gundy, but it doesn't sound like it.
Look at this way, if miles did and is doing all this. Then what the hell is bama and texas doing to convince recruits not to go lsu? C.R., Landon collins, kenny bell, torisho davis, mike davis, janzen jackson. just to name a few.
That's not even mentioning the ones that de-commited or chose o.s.u. over lsu (okung, parish cox, etc.

Miles comes up quite a few times in the first part.
Part 1
Hard to assume he will comes out of this with anything less than a mark on his reputation.
Part 1
quote:
Bob Simmons, the Cowboys' coach from 1995 to 2000, drew a firm line when it came to allowing boosters access to his players. "He wouldn't even let them in the locker room," says QB Andre McGill, who was a freshman during Simmons's final season. Miles took a more hospitable approach after he arrived in 2001 from the Dallas Cowboys. According to several players, boosters were permitted in the locker room; they were often on team flights and bus trips; they turned up at the training table. The boosters were at their most visible after a big victory, and no win was bigger during Miles's tenure than a 16-13 upset at No. 4 Oklahoma in the teams' regular-season finale of 2001. The Cowboys' victory kept the archrival Sooners from a shot at the BCS title game and sparked OSU's surge under Miles. In the locker room after the game, boosters approached key players and slipped cash into their hands. "We are talking about $500 handshakes," says safety Fath' Carter (2000 to '03), who observed others accepting such payments. (Miles denies that players were paid and says he gave boosters less access to the program, not more.)
quote:
Early in his first season Shaw says he went to Miles and told him he needed a car to get to his classes. Shaw says Miles replied, "I can lead you to where you can get some help." Shortly after, Shaw says, he was introduced to Kay Norris, an Oklahoma State graduate affectionately called Momma Norris, who ran the school's athletic museum on campus, Heritage Hall. Shaw says that whenever he needed money while in Stillwater he called her. He says that Norris paid him $400 to take a Christmas tree out of her attic, and that numerous times she paid him $700 to clean the floorboards of rental houses. "I was there about an hour," Shaw says of each cleaning job.
Hard to assume he will comes out of this with anything less than a mark on his reputation.

Beat GA and Bama this year and no fricks will be given about shite that happened at OSU 10+ years ago.
Posted on 9/10/13 at 9:02 am to lsufan1971
Nothing is going to happen so why should we care?
Posted on 9/10/13 at 9:04 am to lsufan1971
Exactly... 10 years ago and when Miles left, sanctions were still going on. Who gives a frick!

Fortunately, there were no allegations of Miles personally paying anyone. 1/5 down. Not looking so bad yet..

Let's not forget his big SI piece last year on the Honey Badger.

Isn't he an OU grad as well? Couldn't possibly have an ulterior motive.

wonder how much the guys in this story received for their "cooperation"?

Convenient that one of the boosters named is dead and the other named has a solid alibi. What about some other names? SI knows this info is weak and would get sued if they named names.

The NCAA has used the willful violators claim to investigate further than the 4 year statute of limitations in the Miami claim. Not saying it will happen, but I would say it's not improbable to assume they could do the same here.

This is the part that bugs me!
T. Boone Pickens, the school's most prominent booster, was not implicated in any improprieties by SI's sources.

SI must be disparate for readers. They give you a forced commercial to read the article.
