Now this link is to a post on Mark's board regarding gifts to the players for earning their place in the MACC and MCB.

I don't know whether the critical posts are from legitimate fans. But, I feel that the guys deserve the gifts. The points made about scholarships and other athletic needs are well taken. But, let's face it, due to NCAA reg's there are very few opportunities for the players to receive gifts like this. And when you have situations where some fool Freshman RB at Ohio State is given a Cadillac to drive just for showing up, it makes a video camera awarded for doing a good job and playing by the rules look pretty meager in comparison.

Certainly the university and athletic department have needs, and students pay a lot for tuition. But, when the money is there to reward the players for a job well done, I think generosity is appropriate.

I have no problem with it. And you know if the AD didn't get that money spent on gifts for the team, the University President would have taken it and used it for something other than athletics so why not reward the team.

It's the Motor City Bowl, they should've gotten new cars.

WOW....with all of those goodies, you wouldn't think Gamby would have to sell drugs at the corner of Westwood and Nebraska.

Yeah, and with all of the money you make managing a Wendy's, you'd think you could keep your mother off of street corners. Things just don't always work as planned.

....and as a manager, we hire a lot of UT grads!!!

Ok Factman, you've posted your stupid remaks about Gamby in several different threads.

Go back to your glass barn, but be careful about throwing rocks.

How did you know where he sold them? Do you have a need for prescription drugs?

You really shouldn't talk. You see, things are bound to happen in football programs and it is how they are dealt with that makes the difference. Amstutz has removed him from the team, as he did to guilty people in previous incidents. Greg Brandon on the other hand does nothing and tries his best to keep it from leaking out.


By the way, I think I might order a pizza today.
