gravejd 3,269 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I don't care if she made 50 cents off the t-shirt sell. She is either unbelievably stupid for doing this or she just flat out doesn't care about the possible consequences this could have on AU and her son. This is a liability we do not need to deal with for any player. And certainly not for a player with the career numbers Purifoy has put up to date. He could have really had a break out season next year and really helped the team but if he has another suspension coming then whats the point? We saw how long it took him to get in the swing of things this season after having to sit out. The only way i see him staying is if something comes out where he tried to keep this tshirt sell from happening and his mom did it anyway. I'm not sure how the rules work with situations like that. Like say a random uncle or cousin prints out some shirts of a player and sells them. I can't imagine the NCAA would hold the school/player responsible for that type of activity. The player/school can not control everyone related to the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waukesha Blevins has been "educated" by no less than Auburn Compliance, the NCAA, and Bruce Pearl and yet still chooses to pull this crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even think he would get 2 games if they were to return the money to everyone who bought shirts as well. This seems like an easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question becomes, why is Auburn having to "fix" and cleanup the actions of this parent after everything they've already fixed in the past?

You just said everything that needs to be said about this. If this was work we'd say that this is either a lack of training or insubordination. This clearly seems to be the latter.

tallgraycat 33 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Is it possible she wants him to be declared ineligible so he will have to play professional ball even if it is oversea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,849 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Unfortunately he’s not the first athlete to likely be embarrassed by a parent. The lack of thought by some folks continually amazes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au302 2,669 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 What a joke, DP’s last chance to have a breakout year and try to put himself in position for a professional career and she pulls this stunt? Just unbelievably selfish and greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU_Tiger_88 417 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Folks..some of you are making judgments on the mother like she should know all of the rules. How many parents print pics of their kids on shirts and then ask relatives if they want to buy one and what size? Looking at the article...she said 10 or 12 bucks but was taking orders...from a neutral look at it, it sounds like she was just trying to print up some Ts and wanted to see from her social circle who was in and wanted one? Is it against the rules? Yep can anyone here tell me all the rules...most likely not...how many of you know that the QB for the Huskers was violating NCAA rules by owning a share of his dad's business? He certainly didn't and had to sell it...now this wasn't like taking $500 from a coach or getting paid to House Sit a rental house...most likely nothing will come of this or at least I hope....Mom had a dumb idea? You bet, but I will give her the benefit of the doubt...now yes she probably took some money but let's not forget an alumni also supposedly took money for her son and she should have known better...but we had another alum trying to get them paid...so even educated people on NCAA rules (at least lived them) were also running afoul with the rules and knew better... just my 2 cents for what it is worth..

I am just saying some people do stupid things. Common sense tells me she most assuredly had to be thoroughly educated on the rules due to the fact that her prior actions resulted in DP having to spend more time on suspension than he's been eligible to play. She screwed up once and it was severe. The NCAA, Auburn Compliance and especially Bruce Pearl would have made sure she and DP were made aware of the rules. AU Compliance should have had a damn spy on her social media activities, they could've nipped this in the bud before the media took charge.

Mikey 16,565 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 About Purifoy's prediction for the upcoming season, this may well be the last straw. He could be an important cog in the team but if this is going to lead to more suspensions etc. maybe everybody is better off knowing now instead of later. Coach Pearl will have some time for adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are talking most important player on the team. But once again you want to interject and try to prove something wrong that you yourself don't have a solid understanding on.
