No link.

They used book money to buy other school supplies in the book store. Things like paper, binders and pencils.

Are you fricking serious, NCAA?

And it's against Florida State too..

Also, sounds like it's the school suspending them, not the NCAA..

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."

So, you can't spend that money on anything other than books, yet if you don't spend that money, it will be taken back.

Talk about getting the federal government treatment

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.

That must be the whole story. I believe it. I believe it about as much as Mike and Carol believed Greg, Marsha, Jan, Bobby, and Cindy broke their mom's favorite vase.

Saban had to vacate 5 games in 2007. I think we had 5 football players suspended for the second half of the season. We also had to vacate our 6 wins in 2006 and 10 wins in 2005.

I thought the bama athletes were reselling the books they bought with aid money to make cash
