bartshan-83 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I read it as it could make him ineligible to be a NCAA athlete. I think he could get into legal trouble (fines?), but I doubt it would have any bearing on his draft eligiblity. Would make things a bit interesting though...

Max997 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Bush Did I read that correctly on Yahoo? Wow would that frig up the draft. 668531[/snapback] that wouldnt have anything to do with him being eligible for the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered it too briefly. I don't wish trouble on anyone but I have to say that it would warm my heart a little to have TWO Southern Cal players be locked out of the draft and then barred from returning to school (Bush and Mike Williams).

It was a travesty. He was thrown on the street by the NFL and then kicked in the teeth by NCAA. He should never have been removed from the draft. He entered under the (then) current rules. It was messed up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Okay......I was wondering how it could affect him with the NFL...... I guess it doesn't or could it? 668544[/snapback] As previously noted: he's already going pro. NCAA eligibility has no bearing on that. And as a junior (unlike Clarett and Williams, who ran afoul of the draft process when they tried to come out after their sophomore seasons), he'd have no reason to attempt to regain his college eligibility... Addendum: agree with y'all on Williams. He only declared because it was legal to do so at the time; not his fault the Clarett decision was overturned.

But just to be safe I am going to go ahead and add a victory to each of ND's 2003-2005 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 ok, I am a tad niave at times, but something seems wrong here. Since everyone KNOWS this kind of crap is against the rules, how does one score a $750,000 house for the family and not have that noticed? Pocket money is one thing, but isn't this just a tad over the top for such a high profile player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, they are supposed to hand over $$$ earned by a bowl appearance or two, and remove trophies, pennants, etc. But no forfeits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
