Right, the C&D didn't get Albetar to stop. Had he stopped, he wouldn't have been disassociated. Whether the disassociation has curbed it, I don't know. None of the pictures were taken after March 31st, so it's really hard to tell what is or is not happening.


If the Ohio ST thing doesnt go down this guy never gets the letter nor had he gotten disassociated. He probably just now does since it came out.

Quite possibly. No way to know that for sure. One way or the other, Bama's AD was proactive. They may have been motivated by tOSU, but it's not like they were shamed into it by the media.

But that letter never said for him to stop doing anything at his Suit Store and that is the point Clay Travis and SportsbyBrooks was trying to make. If it was intended for his suitstore he would have probably stopped. But he didnt.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. The entire purpose of the letters was to tell him to stop doing something at his suit store, namely using the gear, images, and signatures of current players for promotional use. That's what the C&D letter was for. Albetar ignored it, so he was disassociated. I don't see how it was not "intended for his suitstore." The C&D doesn't list the recipient (one would assume it was in an envelope), but the disassociation letter lists Albetar and his business by name and address.


Did alabama mention this when they admitted their 40 something secondary violations?

Why would we mention something that isn't a violation along with our violations? The school investigated this and found no violation. Doesn't really make sense to say "here's our secondary violations, and this other random thing that isn't a big deal."


Does he take all those photo's down off his facebook page if nothing about this comes out? Like i said it may be nothing to it, but he has made it much worse by hiding stuff. Makes no sense to do that if you have nothing to hide.

This attention can't be good for his business. The guy seems like a weirdo jock sniffer. If I were his PR or marketing guy, I'd have made him take them down. Even if he did nothing wrong, he still has a business to run.

DD,

The C&D and the disassociation were sent months before any of this was public. Absolutely, this kind of thing looks bad, which is exactly why the school took steps to shut it down. But looking bad simply isn't a violation, and these photos aren't proof of anything.
Click to expand...

Unfortunately some of these photos still come after the C&D. Your innocent until proven guilty but the dumpster is smoldering and there are time stamped photos to prove the dumpster was smoking after 12/10. Just like hostesses, just like tattoos, and just like improvements to a church it always starts with some simple smoke. My advice stay low and feel the doors.

Not really. I'd be curious to see who is selling that jersey and those posters. I'd be willing to be my paycheck that it isn't a booster.

Its not a booster, its a guy that sells autographed memorabilia from all kinds of different athletes, coaches etc. Dont think he owns a suit store either :crazy:

Like I've said numerous times, he was disassociated because he kept doing this stuff after the C&D. Had he stopped in December of 2010, the disassociation would not have been necessary. If there are photos following the disassociation, they would indicate a bigger issue.

You'll have to help me out, since I can't see SbB.

The photos on Travis's site has no date stamp. More importantly, Clay is still running with the already debunked notion that Albetar owns the kiosk in the photo Travis posted yesterday. And Albetar's actual kiosk, of photo of which was posted on SbB, didn't have any signed jerseys displayed.

I'll give Clay credit for trying to keep this going.

It is really too much to even try to post on here, you will just have to check it when you can. Basically the same jerseys that were at his Kiosk for sale, later ended up on a website for sale. Alot of Richardson stuff signed and they say its identical to what he had at his Kiosk before he had to take them down. They then went up for sale on this website, but of course have been recently taken down. And he basically resaid what travis said, that letter was aimed to stop selling stuff only at the Kiosk in University Mall. from reading between the lines they think once they got the letter for the one in Tuscaloosa, it is possible he opened one at the Galleria and moved it there and on this Website. i guess the question would be who owned and ran the one at the Galleria. I am sure it will come out soon. If it isnt his or a partner of his it shouldnt be a big deal and who ran the website with all the Richardson signed stuff up on it. And why would it not be up there now if it was just a random seller who got him to sign it at media days or something like that? This was the website I told you about that Travis had reported earlier. im sure its nothing..But he sure was busy signing alot of stuff to have gotten nothing out of it. Super Nice Guy.

To fully answer the questions you have on this, he is basically saying he could have had more than one Kiosk and the pic of the Kiosk in Tusc could be after the letter was sent to him and he took it all down. Who knows, but again just alot of smoke right now. Could be just a coincidence and be nothing, or............

Super swell guy. Guess as a college football player he had nothing else better to do. Sure he has no friends or teammates to hang out with. He is an ugly as sin dude, but i still bet he could get a woman just because of who he is. But very nice of him since he had alot of time to kill to sign a bunch of Jerseys for an older white guy. I am betting he is just putting it up in his closet and saving it till Trent leaves then selling them. He must not be making any money on his store, or just enough to buy a ton of Home and Away Jerseys. I wonder If Marlin Lane will sign some for me? He is about to be on Finebaum in a few to explain.

I agree with you. listening to Finebaum he says its pretty much done and nothing will come of it. says Travis has egg on his face over this and that if the ncaa thought something was up they would have sent somebody already. Humm, I disagree with that because this is just now coming out. Alabama never reported it so the NCAA may not have all the facts yet. More and more stuff comes out everyday. I mean before this is over how can the NCAA justify not atleast looking into it? So I think Finebaum is clueless and just wants to say Auburn is guilty and be done with it. Auburn no doubt is guilty if you listen to him and Bama fans but hell there is just as much smoke with this as there is with Auburns. Guess we will see.

Will not matter. Nothing will come of this at all. Anyone expecting bama to even get the slightest slap on the wrist is setting themselves up for a huge letdown. Ex: osu

If its ok with you, I will wait and see how it plays out. have you seen any of my posts? Does it really look like i care what you think or how I look? Uhm NO..

Trust me Finebaum knows nothing. He said back many months ago tthis Auburn stuff was over and nothing has and will come of it. He loves Saban and has zero knowledge of much of this. Not saying I do and nothing may come of it, but it is nowhere near done. Especially if this Yahoo story is indeed true. Either way it doesnt effect my team so i will sleep fine at night regardless. Its gets the Bammers on here pissed and riled up so thats good enough for me. There is no more ignorant,redneck,inbred fanbase in college football. This story alone has them in defensive mode and fighting back and forth with the Barns. Thats humorous enough for me.

tOSU hasnt gotten off. They lost their coach, that alone is worth it. They will lose Schollys and bowl bans too. If Bama just got that i would be siked. But either way its a blackeye on UAT and has been all over ESPN. Now if this Yahoo stuff isnt about them then nothing probably comes of anything, unless there is more stuff that hasnt come out yet. but if it is true that will get the NCAA in here and will be working both stories and God knows what they will find. Do i want something to happen to them? Sure..But it wont effect my well being if it doesnt. Just the bad pub alone is great.

I havent heard it was on suburn, its supposedly on Alabama. The guy from yahoo was on Knox sports talk earlier this weak and had mentioned it and been mentioned here in Bham for the last 3-4 weeks. For the longest time people here kept saying it was Auburn. Because it was originally mentioned to be an SEC west team and the only 3 was LSU,Auburn and alabama, And everyone assumed it was Auburn and it tied into the Cam stuff. But has recently switched to being an Alabama story. They the other day who was on in Knox said that from an infractions possibility and how bad it was some of their recent had been and 8 and that this one would be a ten. He was asked how soon and just said to be patient.

Well, is anyone working on an Auburn story? It would be just absurd if Bama went down for this stuff and the Barn got off for the Cam stuff.

Albetar did not have any jerseys at his kiosk. The photo of the kiosk with the jerseys is at the Galleria and that one is not Albetar's. The photo at the University Mall is of Albetar's kiosk, but it has no jerseys. Why would the jerseys from a kiosk not owned by Albetar wind up on his website? And since this website was "taken down", how is it than anyone can confirm if they are the same jerseys?


And he basically resaid what travis said, that letter was aimed to stop selling stuff only at the Kiosk in University Mall. from reading between the lines they think once they got the letter for the one in Tuscaloosa, it is possible he opened one at the Galleria and moved it there and on this Website.
Click to expand...

Travis never said that. And if he had, he would have been wrong. First, both the main store AND the kiosk are at the University Mall. Both letters address Albetar personally. They do not say anything about not being able to display stuff at his kiosk, or at his store, or at the University Mall. They say that Albetar must stop displaying the gear/pictures/autographs of current players, period. That means at all of his current locations, or any other he might have in the future. Had Albetar simply moved his operation to another location, he still would have been in violation of the C&D.



i guess the question would be who owned and ran the one at the Galleria.
Click to expand...

The one at the Galleria also has Auburn stuff on it. Seems odd that this huge Bama fan would be selling Auburn gear as well. It would also be odd if this would be a kiosk for a men's clothier, and yet it has no menswear on it.

This is really, REALLY reaching.

There is no amount of money you could put up that I wouldn't bet: tOSU never gets a bowl ban. The NCAA isn't pursuing FTM, and without that, tOSU will only miss a postseason if they lose seven games.

Bamawritwe you really need to read everything before you comment. I said the Jerseys could have been taken down before that pic was taken. And I said sportsvybrooks said the letter was for the kiosk at university. Like I have said it doesn't matter what you think the evidense is piling up whether you like it or not. And yes it was for the kiosk at university mall. If there wasn't Jerseys being sold there do you think the letter would have ever been sent? No..Come on man take your crimson glasses off and use your head. Even a bammer could have figured that out. I know your boast but now way the letter is sent to the kiosk owned by him saying to quit selling those items if at one time they were never being sold..right? And one more time go to sportsbybrooks and he clearly states its for that kiosk and not the store..If I need to simplify it much more then there's nothing else I can say.
