I am sure that if some of you UofL guys ask nicely, the NCAA will drop this Cam Newton and Jim Tressel stuff and get to the more important investigation.

I can see why we'd pay him. We really needed a QB this year.

lol.

Oh I forgot, that All-Conference QB is playing Wide Reciever.

Love UL fans.

I'm going to try to stay within the rules here but you are making this very hard. While you bash UCF fans you never seem to stop trashing UCF on the Rivals UL board who has banned every UCF poster.

Let me explain this to you Jim because you don't seem to get this very well. UCF has been recruiting athletes from the likes of Miami for nearly 20 years getting players like Joshua Reese (4 star), Torrian Wilson (4 star), Jeffery Godfrey, Josh Robinson (4 star), Alphonso Bryant (4 star) amongst others. UCF continually recruits across the state know as one of the two best recruiting hotbeds in the Country and you're telling me UCF now had to break out the cash to get a kid from Louisville, Kentucky? You're saying that UCF decided now to start paying players in a position where UCF is set with a freshman All American for the next three years? You're telling me that UCF decided to put up cash for a kid that plays football in Kentucky whos best teams would not make the top ten in any division of Florida high school football?

Don't you think that if UCF actually paid DeMarcus money that UCF would have let him out of his LOI for fear that it would come out? I have never seen such an insecure fan base.

looks like ucf should of let him out of his LOI 03-nutkick

If the D Smith situation is the thread that the NCAA pulls and everything comes apart, UCF fans are going to be sick. Why cheat to get a guy you don't need?

Because we didn't cheat. It's a smear campaign. I mean how did UL fans know long before the article came out that it was going to come out? Seems very shady with UL.

Smear campaign? As far as I know Pitino was campaigning for UCF to get an invite as recently as October of last year. Do you really think Pitino, Jurich, Forde and Thamel all got together and said lets get UCF. Even if it was just Pitino do you really think he has that much influence over ESPN / Disney, The New York Times, and Depaul University? Think about that for a moment.

CJ, remember Rick Pitino is the most powerful man in all of sports. I mean he controls the "Main Stream" sports media in this country and with a snap of his little finger can pull the plug on a program.

I mean, Chuck Norris wears Rick Pitino PJ to bed @ night lol.

Notre Dame has just hired painters to repaint TD Jesus. They want to make his face looks more like Pitino...

The Catholic Church has also nominated him to replace the Pope when he dies...

I didn't say Pitino had anything to do with it. A couple crappy journalist wrote stories without any evidence and made insinuations. So far we've seen no evidence of wrongdoing by UCF yet everyone is ready to burn them at the stake. I never said UL was behind it even, but I do find is suspicious that UL fans knew about it before the story came out. Did Thamel write a hit piece which Forde picked up? How would UL fans know that Thamel was writing such a piece unless some UL fan was communicating with him?

UofL is Louisville's sports franchise. In Louisville most sports talk centers around UofL. Louisville has an am/fm radio station that broadcasts UofL programing most of the day. At 5:30 every evening this station does a recap of all UofL events. So there is always information available. One of the events that the city hosts is the KDF basketball classic. This years game was held on 4/22. Forde was there interviewing Bender. Thamel was probably in town for it as well. That's when you started hearing rumbles here of a possible investigation of UCF. That's when UofL fans that post here started letting people know here what they were saying. Actually the first person to mention it was a UK sports show host named Matt Jones.

This is where the info first broke: Source

Checkout the third post. It is the operator of the Louisville Rivals site. He mentions seeing Forde and Bender talking.

These UCF fans sound eerily similar to Memphis fans as they protected Calipari just before he got Memphis in trouble with the NCAA.
