On Thursday, Charleston Southern senior running back Ben Robinson posted on Facebook: "So basically about 30+ players on my team including me have been suspended for using book money to buy other things in the book store like pencils, binders, and electronics, out of our school bookstore. We would have left over book money and the workers in the bookstore advised us to spend the money because we would not get it back, so we did."

The NCAA suspended them over buying other school supplies with the financial aid they received?

Charleston Southern is scheduled to pay a visit to #3 Florida State this weekend, but they may be without a ton of their players. It appears that their entire offensive line and more than 40 other players will be suspended for the game because of a strange bookstore money violation.


Holy shite. The ENTIRE OL? That will be a bloodbath.

Electronics is the key word. At tulanes bookstore you could buy a PlayStation or Xbox. Not that I give a shite or think they should be suspended, but I doubt this just Stems from pencils and binders

It doesn't really change the absurdity of some of these rules, but I'm 100% confident that money wasn't all spent on other school supplies.

The excerpt mentions "electronics" with pencils, paper, and binders. I've got a feeling they're in trouble for the electronics and other shite bought and not the paper and pencils.

ETA: I see this has been covered well on the second page. Oh well.

I'm sure it has to do with this, other than calculators what electronics does a book store sell?
