No sympathy here as this is on Charleston Southern as an institution and not the NCAA and their typical horse$hit this time. When I was at UM football players (and probably most scholarship athletes) walked into the bookstore with a list of their classes and they basically had a freakin' waiter walk around and pull their free textbooks and then jump the line to cash them out at the register. Charleston Southern was obviously running some sort of loose honor code debit card system here and it came back to bite them in the *** when a bunch of teenagers probably decided to get headphones instead of that Excerise Physiology 101 textbook.

This is how it worked at UCF too. Players had a list of books and supplies. The bookstore would give them everything on the list. Nobody was just given a stack of money and told " buy whatever you want".
 
I was under different scholarships and programs which paid for tuition and books and the book part was a check or a balance with the store. Then with all those more was paid for than the tuition cost so I would also get a check from the college for the extra. I can understand how they might try to look at athletic scholarships differently but its still a scholarship. So I can see how they might treat it the same as others.

So if someone on a football scholarship also had and maintained say a Florida Bright Futures Scholarship (or whatever they call it now) then I could also see them getting a check from the school.

FSU is gonna use their third and fourth string offense and defense to crush them.
 
How is this against the rules? I didnt play sports in college but I used my leftover scholarship money on all kinds of **** no problem in the bookstore. If any random college kid can do then it shouldn't be seen as getting benefits.

I would assume at most schools it's done electronically. I never even saw my bookstore stipend money. It was basically charged to my account until my scholarship hit and whatever was leftover was mine. I doubt they are sending these kids with checks or cash in this day and age.
 
Asked a friend that works in football ops at another school told me the players use their bookstore credit for extra stuff all the time.

"Yeah, man, all we did was buy some pencils, binders, and... Cough! Cough! ...a couple of Kindles, an iPod, and some wireless Beats." :shame:

They probably each get around $300 to buy books. A few of them probably bought Headphones, cables, etc. doubt they'd have enough to buy any tablet.

Maybe not sympathy, but definitely empathy. This is ******* stupid. I'm sure there were those that did not buy the book and only bought headphones. But I'm also sure there were some that bought all their books and with the remaining $50 bought notebooks, pencils, etc and were still suspended AND had to pay a fine.....all while they bring in millions for an Athletic department. It is clearly BS, and these schools and NCAA act like they don't have the money to give these players walking around money. This IS on the cartel known as the NCAA.

To me that is why is so hypocritical about this. This stuff happens everyday at major football powers like Ohio St, Alabama, etc but the NCAA picks Charles Southern to make an example out of it. FPS get hammered by the NCAA more then FBS does yet this schools don't even make money off football. A much smaller percentage of the players go pro and the schools have LESS incentive to cheat since the spoils aren't so high.

Yea the boosters at Charles Southern who average 10k a game pay their players more then TAMU does who average 90k a game. That makes perfect sense.
