Wow...pretty slamming...

think that article and or KS will last?

[WAR-MATT 2]

This is what we've been trying to explain to the bama fans for 8 pages. Saban practices plausible deniability......

[AUdaREALsecTigers 2]

Saban seems to have genuine concern for his players and supreme confidence that he can save the ones who need saving.

Genuine concern for his players??? Maybe he meant his players and not Shula's....or maybe JJ wasn't good enough to need saving...

NCAA Bylaw 12.5.2.1

- A student-athlete may establish his or her own business, provided

the student-athlete's name, photograph, appearance or athletics

reputation are not used to promote the business.

In addition, Bylaw 12.5.2.1 states,

- After becoming a student-athlete, an individual shall not be

eligible for participation in intercollegiate athletics if the

individual:

(a) Accepts any remuneration for or permits the use of his or her

name or picture to advertise, recommend or promote directly the sale

or use of a commercial product or service of any kind; or

(b ) Receives remuneration for endorsing a commercial product or

service through the individual's use of such product or service.

EDIT: The site has been taken down, which lends credibility IMHO to the suggestion that it was legit. For those who did not get to see it, it was covered with images of him playing football among other things.

EDIT: The people he got his dogs from http://www.mastinspitbulls.com posted this on their site

The only affiliation Mastin's Pitbulls has with Jimmy Johns was his obtaining these 2 dogs from us.

But JJ's myspace profile does not exactly agree with that statement.

The irony of the whole thing is that if Alabama had been policing (haha) their own and caught this long ago, they could have removed him from the team due to no longer being eligible and thus avoided the latest shame to a much greater extent.

It's much easier to say you did well by removing him before the fact than it is to remove him after it hits the fan and trying to justify that you are still in control.

I think of all the bammers who said they aren't surprised that he got in trouble and I just have to wonder at what cost will they continue to support the current regime.
