Reax to SI's pt. 4 of OSU Story ("Sex")? Anyone not shocked?

Submitted by superstringer on

The fourth part of the SI expose on Okie State is about a small subset of official hostesses who'd seek out recruits for sex.  I found this part of their investigation just ludicruous -- like, let's blame them for breathing oxygen while we're at it.  I mean -- not condoning it -- but, athletic guys, pretty girls at college... it's going to happen, right.

Basically, I would guess this is NORMAL conduct on virtually EVERY big time football campus.  Whether its official hostesses, or just girls who regularly go to parties w/ football players and recruits, I would think this is part of the culture.

Anyone disagree, or think its isolated?

Even on our own campus -- I remember stories from my time on campus that, after a win, at a certain frat party, a girl was known for offering, uh, services of the oral kind to any football player that wnated them -- they'd just line up for her outside some room in the house.  And then there was a story of some sorority sister at UM being picked or volutneering to, uh, 'entertain' TP on his official visit.  (Thank god she was a lousy lay, huh.)

"Hostesses at Oklahoma State are required to sign two documents, one that states that they will "use appropriate conduct which is required of YOU [underlined] within institutional, Big 12, and NCAA guidelines."

The only really interesting thing about this strategy - if it was used - is that it seems like it would be essentially the workaround for the numerous restrictions on non-coaching contacts for prospective student-athletes. Making them perform "work activities" (clerical stuff, per the article) makes them non-coaching staff in a way and affords them some access on official visits, if I am reading the rules correctly.

They have job reporting things that happen in the "sports community" you really think the writers of this article are going to try to publish this at a huge magazine like SI if there' is no evidence of payments Etc. remember this:

"Walks like a duck and talks like a duck it's a F***N Duck"

People at USC don't complain much about the sanctions that were in the know here in Cali to much, WHY? Because they got off lightly compared to what was actually going on here at SC! Trust me when I tell you that the published reports were only the tip of the Titanic if you get my drift. SC was TD if they fight it anymore the rest will come out. It's a bad situation. My point is the OSU was caught and now want to say foul and that it's all lies. Dez Bryant is such a stand up dude right! Dude was sucked off and paid off more then anyone on that campus I bet!!!!

I mean everyone bangs recruits, felates recruits, sleeps w/ you, sleeps w/ me, whatever. I think that recruits need a second hand, and I've always looked up to Les Miles, and I always will.

If he's a H.S. junior and she's 18+, then there's a legal problem right there.

Otherwise, can't the athletic department simply respond as follows?:

"Big deal. So a boy met a girl and they got "so happy together".  Go ahead SI, write your major "exclusive" on that one."

Previous post says Oklahoma is 16? WTH, why didn't I got to Oklahoma State? LOL

More may come out, but based on what's in the story, I'm afraid the OP is close to right: There was this program where pretty girls showed recruits around the campus, and a few of them got out of line. That may strike some as naive (heck, it strikes me as a little naive) but right now that's all SI can prove. Kinda sleazy to be sure, but under the circumstances hardly shocking. Maybe there's more, but as of right now -- not all that big a deal.

...and sooner or later its bound to happen....

is when one of these hostess stories dovetails with a Petrino situation. You'll have a coach involved in the hostess program--interviewing, matchmaking--and then getting involved with one of the hostesses,and the shti will really hit the fan.

Miles had his coed rumors a while back, if you'll recall. Unconfirmed, to be sure--I'm certainly not giving them credibility. But if coaches are stupid enough to get directly involved in the hostess programs in the first place, somebody'll be stiupid enough to cross that next bridge.

Yeah, this part really only had my interested because it sounds like some of the coaches had direct influence on the program.  That feels like one of those gray areas where a couple of "suggested" matches and subsequent matchings can easily be portrayed as escort services.  

The funny thing is, I wouldn't imagine it would be that hard for a bunch of athletic, confident guys who undoubtedly had some success in HS with women to catch the eye of equally-attractive women at college parties if they were brought in with players on the team.  I mean, the image in my head isn't some dorky little 17-year-old brought to a college party and looking absolutely flabbergasted trying to talk to women; instead I imagine a bunch of really confident athletes (who have probably done really well for themselves with HS girls at their school) hanging out with other athletes at parties where said athletes are treated as gods.  The underage drinking would probably be the bigger deal, if anyone cared.

I went to a D2 christian university and even there recruits were always introduced to the jersey chasers. Recruits were pretty much garunteed to get laid on their visits.

I was shocked too, bro! You know, I would like to share, by the way. I have a secret and I want to tell it here. I love mature girls. Sometimes I just surfing this website https://www.maturetenders.com and look on mature girls. Do you have such secrets too or your life is too boring?
