OT(?) - Louisville sex scandal investigation
There was a bit of news about this a few weeks ago, but OTL is breaking this morning the extent of went on between 2010-2014. Five ex-players and recruits speaking on the coniditon of anonymity. Looks really bad. Mike and Mike referencing on-campus parties with strippers, stacks of money, and sex with escorts payed for by a graduate assistant.

I'm not sure if you're serious. Mortensen has never issued a retraction or correction to his report of the "2.5 lb" under inflated ball w/r/t to deflateghazi. Actually, the network continued to carry water for the NFL until the suspension was vacated. I'm not even going to get into the Harbaugh search process. ....

Just as a point of order here, even by Brian's own FAQ - which was written back in the day, of course - this isn't necessarily true. College sports stories with no relation to Michigan would sit in that gray area where discretion is used in determining the thread's ultimate fate. Again, there is not an absolute prohibition on OT threads in the season, but there is definitely what we shall call a narrowing of focus.

I'll say this more directly: the claimed rule above is absolutely not the rule. If you're going to try and quote rules, you should at least learn them before you do.

All I said was this post is OT (meaning not having to do with Michigan), which it is.....and anything not having to do with the University of Michigan or Michigan sports is by definition OT, which is true. I never said the OP should have his post deleted nor did I imply that the focus should be narrowed. I simply stated that the post is OT, because by definition, it is OT. If anything, I was confused by the level of OT something has to be before the MODS remove it, but I'm not confused as to what designates something as OT. Appreciate you looking out though bro!

The standard isn't having to do with Michigan, it's pretty specifically defined in the FAQ. The Louisville scandal is, going by strict definition, on topic because they were an opponent. College sports in general are "gray area".
As far as what off topic posts get deleted and what doesn't, we usually make exceptions for things that are relevant to the board but are not on topic. One example was the youth football league post last week.

Glad you are here to help moderate the "gray area", and by that I mean, the delicate space between on and off topic posts on the blog. Thanks for the FAQ link too, and for caring so much to really point out that the post was indeed neither on-topic, nor off-topic. I was wrong when I said the OP's post was Off Topic, because it wasn't really either. I just get really confused sometimes with "gray areas", because it's essentially a matter of opinion, since you are a MOD of the blog, as to whether or not something stays or goes. I guess I'm just a black and white kind of guy when it comes to these things, that way, every topic is treated the same, and not left up to whether or not you personally think it is relevant.

"Rick, you seem worried? Are those hoes going to talk to the press? I told you that you got to be more discreet."

This is why we need to pay student athletes.

They're just high school kids! They can't afford to pay for prostitutes.
October 20th, 2015 at 12:30 PM ^
This is just another reason why these players should be paid. They can't even buy their own prostitutes!!!

Don't be surprised if absolutely nothing comes of this.

Sound to me that you actually went to the right ones.
High school a place where teenage students should really be focused on getting his/her teacher to sleep with them?

Tayshaun Prince would like to discuss the merits of your assertion that was the greatest block of all time. I think maybe the co-greatest block of all time works for me though.

None of this is shocking. There are several top basketball schools where there are no words to describe how dirty they are.

It's cool that he'll always have a tattoo to remind him of his vacated championship.
October 20th, 2015 at 10:52 AM ^
it just bugs the living shit out of me that john beilein - john beilein! - has lost shots at two separate national championships to the two biggest fucking weasels in the sport.
October 21st, 2015 at 8:43 AM ^
Once you get in Final Four territory, you are going to run into one or more of these weasels.
October 20th, 2015 at 10:54 AM ^
I'm glad Beilein is at Michigan, and glad we're not Louisville. If that's the price of winning, I don't want to win. I don't want to have anything to do with that.
I mean, I'm not a complete idiot. I realize that stuff will happen. But when it is planned by the institution? Strippers, dancers, side deals, paid from a mysterious booster funded slush fund? Do not want.
One final comment. There has to be a way to distinguish between the impermissible benefit of cream cheese for bagels, and stuff like this. Some of the so-called NCAA infractions are just ridiculous. I'm still a bit chafed by what happened with Mitch McGary. This stuff at Louisville is just wrong.

i never understood the whole "WE WANT PITINO" thing that went around when we hired tommy amaker, and it was around a LOT.
i think most of those people went back to being sparty fans.
October 20th, 2015 at 11:02 AM ^
The bit I heard on Mike and Mike almost entertained me. Golic and Carter were essentially admitting that boosters don't need to pay for "it." The hospitality crews (formal or informal) at each recruiting stop generally throw themselves at recruits.
October 20th, 2015 at 11:55 AM ^
What shocks me the most about these stories is that people think they actually needed to pay money to get girls to sleep with these guys.
October 20th, 2015 at 12:07 PM ^
we are National Champs?
October 20th, 2015 at 12:22 PM ^
Welcome to revenue generating collegiate sports. Can't imagine this is surprising to anyone not living under a rock.
October 20th, 2015 at 12:24 PM ^
Is there a bigger dichotomy than the 2013 NCAAB championship head coaches? One runs a drug-filled brothel on campus and nailed his colleague's wife on the table of a local Italian restaurant. The other gets crazy with sub sandwiches. Of course the dirtbag coach won with a BS call. Would love to see Beilein get his champship this season and Pitino get canned.
Hi! I have seen a little bit about this when I was switching Tv channels. Don't know how to comment on it. I suppose that if you are excited, you just need to use the right service to solve it. https://www.meetmilfy.com/ could help you to find some milfs. I think that it could be the best solution.
