Wow, hope all that isn't true. This is not the kind of distraction we need when battling for our program.

Yawn. Like FSU and Fisher care about anything other than their next game's revenues?
The problem with this is the fact that there are allegations that a current UAB football player was involved with helping a high profile player at another school place an extremely large bet on a game that the high profile player was involved in intentionally throwing the 1st half of a game in order to collect a rather large amount of cash. According to this article, they have documented evidence that these transactions took place and that Rabb sent the cash to Jameis Winston via Western Union.
This sounds VERY bad and the timing couldn't be any worse!
Actually I believe it will show the true character of our Coach.
It's going to have to come from a better source than "Incarcerated Bob" before I get too worried.
Kinda like the autograph story was. Someone will buy it.
Yep. If Bill Clark is aware of these allegations and Chris Rabb still plays tomorrow, I will be very concerned. Hopefully there is nothing to these allegations.
It isn't the allegations part that really is up for debate.
I suspect Clark has had a discussion with Rabb about the allegations.
Clark will use his judgment to make a decision on it.
Sometimes you back your players, sometimes you sit your players, sometimes you do something else.

I think (and hope) he will do a better job than the one last summer.
I know Rabb and that does not sound like how he would answer the phone. He was a very soft spoken person i find it hard to believe that he would do this.
My gut instinct is that Incarcerated Bob cooked all of this up to get millions of people to go look at his website.
Rabb is one of the nicest guys on the planet. Great kid, I hope this isn't true.
It's the evil BOT cooking this up to kill two birds with one stone. Helping them scoot FSU out of the top 4 and giving UAB one more piece of crap to deal with right now.
I'm only half joking...

If that's the case that may not be his nickname much longer. It'll be his real name
It just occurred to me... THIS STORY IS ABSOLUTE B.S.!!!
...Chris Rabb was playing football for UAB at Florida Atlantic when it is alleged that he placed bets with a bookie in Birmingham!!!
LOL

This week we have gotten a lot of local press coverage and some national attention via online articles. This would be a great way to try to capture the college sports newshole and shift the media's coverage to a different topic...
That being said I'm off to my Faraday cage before the black helicopters can get a trace.

When did we get to Boca Raton? FSU vs. Louisville was a Thursday night game. So the alleged exchange would have happened Thursday morning.
