DKW 86 7,426 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 http://www.dailynews.com/sports/ci_4044532 $3900 a month for an apartment? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! Jarrett case under reviewBY MATTHEW KREDELL, Staff Writer The NCAA has received USC's request to reinstate All-America wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett, according to NCAA spokesman Erik Christianson. Jarrett was declared ineligible last month for violating the NCAA's "extra benefits" rule by allowing Matt Leinart's father to pay for the majority of the rent in the downtown luxury apartment he shared with the quarterback. "We don't have a specific time frame for these type of requests," Christianson said. "Our goal is to have it done as quickly as possible, but as thoroughly as possible as well." USC coach Pete Carroll has expressed confidence that Jarrett will be reinstated without a problem. Jarrett and Leinart each paid $650 a month at the Medici apartment complex, with Bob Leinart paying the remaining $2,566, according to USC. It's considered legal for a parent to pay rent for his own son, but not for a teammate. If Jarrett is allowed to return, it could come with the condition that he pay money back to Bob Leinart, an amount that could exceed $10,000.

GoAU 1,600 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 That seems ridiculus to me, but then again given real estate prices in southern CA - for all I know that rent could have had them living in the 'hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Jarrett to come up with. I mean dooesn't every college kid have that kind of money just sitting around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermike 3,034 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Do you think the conversation will go something like this? Dwayne Jarrett: "Mr. Leinar, the NCAA says I have to pay you back the $10,000 for rent." Bob Leinar: "OK, Dwayne, let's work out a payment schedule." Dwayne: "I can't afford much, I am just a student, living in one of the most expensive cities in the world." Bob: "I understand Dewayne. What can you afford?" Dwayne: "Maybe $100.00 per month." Bob: "That should satisfy the idiots running the NCAA, but wouldn't it be a financial hardship on you? Dwayne: "Yes Sir, a little, but the $100 handshakes help a lot." Bob: "OK, we will do it this way. We will cut the payment down to $25 per month and tell the NCAA that is all you can afford. After all, it's not cheap to date these SOCAL girls!"

BayouBengal 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I read somewhere that Jarrett comes from a very poor background, I think Newark, New Jersey area?? could be wrong on the city. And I could believe the rent, they said it was a luxury apartment in DOWNTOWN Los Angeles. Man it must be nice being a college athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
