November 7, 20178 yr Author How much do gold pants and conference championship rings go for? A lot. They weren't selling them for what they were worth. They traded them for tattoos.
November 7, 20178 yr Author :lol2: What do you want? Who is protecting them or giving them a pass? If this was OSU/ Louisville/ Duke/ etc this would be 10 pages already.
November 7, 20178 yr The only good thing about this is that some poor journalist is going to reference this during Iron Bowl week, and Saban's head is literally going to explode. And that's the only reason this story even broke
November 7, 20178 yr If this was OSU/ Louisville/ Duke/ etc this would be 10 pages already. Not if it happened 8 years ago....
November 7, 20178 yr A lot. They weren't selling them for what they were worth. They traded them for tattoos. I'm just messing with you! Those Alabama signatures were worth a lot more too. OSU had 5 players have to pay back from $1000 to $2500 for what they received and one paid back less than $200. All of them were allowed to play in the upcoming Bowl game and were only suspended if they returned the next fall for 5 games. If Tressell had reported it to school or NCAA when he first was emailed about it, they may not have been punished at all and would have let the school handle it internally.
November 7, 20178 yr That's not the way it works in this part of the country and you know it. Bama is untouchable. But the numbers are small don't matter. Tattoos are like $100. Not on this one...there is a 4 year statue of limitation on this issue so there probably won't be an NCAA issues. The Gold pants thing blew a fuse because Tress lied about knowing about it. I think they should be able to sell as many pairs of gold pants that they want to fwiw.
November 7, 20178 yr If this was OSU/ Louisville/ Duke/ etc this would be 10 pages already. It is on Auburn, UT, Ole Miss, UGA, LSU etc etc message boards. This is closer to Buckeye country so nobody cares about Bama on BGP....Heck nobody cares about college football in the state hardly...this is bball country.
November 7, 20178 yr Hogwash :lol2: So you know what I care about more than I do? I think you need to include #BamaEnvy in all your posts in the CFB forum from now on.

That entire season and sugar bowl victory was vacated. That team returned a lot in 2012 and might have been the best team Tress had since at least 2006. I'm still bitter as you can tell...

Rat out his players and he loses the team, lie and he loses his job. No win situation.
