We basically got away with murder because of method of securing evidence. I'm not out for blood from the NCAA. We are free and clear from issues after this year with the return of all of our scholarships and the blight that was Golden/Donofrio. Its a new day.
Murder.....seriously
Sure...Nevin bought some players some drinks over several years....he didn't buy them cars, he didn't set players' parents up with new jobs or houses. He didn't work to forge transcripts. Yeah Clint Hurrt got a little too involved...players spending the night at his house, etc
But A MASSIVE Portion of the evidence was receipts from bars, other entertainment venues, etc and heck....I could go to Gainesville rack up huge bar bills for 4 years, and take pics of my self with the UFag football players and say....hey....all of these receipts are of me buying drinks for players.....and lookie here...I have pics with them at the bar.
Some of Nevin's pics of him with players on his boat were proven to be taken AFTER these players had become professional football players.
Randy told guys to stay away from Nevin....so getting away with murder....not so much.
I agree with you that most of the charges were bull****. I argued that plenty on here and on WEZ for years. But considering the media coverage of it and public opinion we were on the chopping block for sure while the SEC gets away with far worse infractions. Despite how BS we think it all went down, we were going to get railroaded and this dumb ugly fat laywer's ***** up along with the NCAA investigators helped us end up with a slap on the hand.
Well, then kettle meet pot...you admit we didn't commit murder and get away with it.....you said we got away with murder.....not, we didn't do much and the NCAA will hammer us anyway.
