Majority of our kids are from Louisiana. Why the hell do we have to pay them to come to LSU

Because they'll just go somewhere that will. This crap goes on everywhere and its a sad reality that every program out there does these under the table deals.

It is by no means sad that some kids get given the same a mount of money a concession stand makes during 10 minutes of a game they played in.

Les Miles’ last year at OSU was in 2004.
- This article has quotes from players from 2005-2008 talking about money being exchanged in the locker room.
- 3 other players quoted were dismissed from OSU on bad terms.
- There are like 3 "witnesses" to this that happen to be dead now
- The payments during Miles' tenure were made for work the players did. While they may have been overpaid like the norm for college athletes, it was also in cash so good luck proving that one
- This is seriously irresponsible journalism.

SI got scooped by YAHOO on the Miami scandal which is about 1,000X more salacious than this crap. This just seems to be a desperate attempt produce their own "scandalous" story which severely lacks credibility (the main interviewee's all appear to have axes to grind with OSU) and amounts to much ado about nothing to ANYBODY who went to a school where athletics are relevant and important.
SI, let me know when you find evidence of a coach covering up the murder of a player by a teammate, or a longtime assistant coach diddling little boys. Until then, don't make me watch "Brooklyn 99" commercials to read school newspaper level articles

If this was a potential law suit, the judge would throw it out.
Its embarrassing SI allowed this to happen with all the witnesses dead or holding a grudge/motive.

Jason Whitlock on Thayer (Deadspin):
quote:
Jason Whitlock went on the Oklahoma City Sports Animal radio show today to talk about the first part of Sports Illustrated's five-part investigation into Oklahoma State University. He spent a good chunk of time talking shite about Thayer Evans, a former colleague of Whitlock's and one half of the investigative reporting team that authored the report. Whitlock did not pull any punches.
Here he is questioning Thayer's credibility as a journalist. (Transcription via Tulsa World):
Having worked with Thayer Evans at Fox Sports, having followed his work for some time, I am completely and utterly flabbergasted that a legitimate news outlet would allow Thayer Evans to be involved in some type of investigative piece on college football that tears down a program, and particularly one that tears down Oklahoma State when it is no secret what a huge, enormous, gigantic Oklahoma homer Thayer Evans is. This is just incredible. Knowing the lack of competence that’s there with Thayer Evans, knowing the level of simplemindedness that’s there with Thayer Evans, to base any part of the story on his reporting is mind-boggling.
[...]
When I learned Thayer Evans was involved, I just said, there’s no way I’ll read this because there’s no reason to trust this reporter on anything of any substance.
Ya burnt, Evans! But wait, Whitlock isn't done yet:
He’s simpleminded. He’s a hack that can’t write. This isn’t personal, I promise. I have no reason to dislike Thayer Evans personally, and I don’t. But I’ve read enough of his work this guy isn’t qualified for this job and by now Sports Illustrated and anybody else should be well aware of this.
OK, Whitlock. I think we get the point. Thayer Evans sucks. Oh wait, there's more:
Let me end by saying this and I honestly mean this without malice. It wouldn’t shock me if Thayer Evans couldn’t spell "cat" and I say in all seriousness.
Your move, Thayer Evans. Time to prove to the world that you can spell "cat."

I guess it shows that Okie State is moving up in the world when Oklahoma fans go out of their way to tear them down.
