The issue I was pointing out w/ this particular tweet is that they’re accusing Urban Meyer of doing something at Ohio State when he wasn’t at Ohio State.

Sure. We are focusing on different issues. But you do know I didn't write the article, right?

Thank you for the clarification. You keep saying NIL like coaches paying players under the table is/was NIL. It’s not. Coaches directly paying players under the table is still illegal. In this thread I have commented on the idea that this particular player has accused Meyer of illegal offerings being made while he was at Ohio State in 1999. Urban Meyer was a position coach at Notre Dame during these alleged illegal activities. It gives me no pleasure to point out inaccuracies that show Urban in a better light, but I also don’t want to wrongly accuse the guy if in this instance he couldn’t be guilty.

It’s a drivel argument.

Every time somebody says nothing has changed just tell them the cost of players is up 100x. Everything else can be the same if you like. If it’s a dumb person posting they might keep blubbering, but I think most people can decide at that point.

It's not illegal at all. It never has been. The NCAA doesn't make laws.

It was against their rules, which were illegal.

Now direct pay to college athletes has been approved by the NCAA so all of the hand wringing about Urban is moot.

In related topics, it's time for SMU to sue the NCAA into oblivion like so many others are doing.

lol I guess I’m the incompetent one. But I’ll strike it up to God looking after me and not letting me get in a debate I shouldn’t lower myself to.

That tweet is hilarious though. Calling out his time at tOSU, despite the actual incident in question being 25 years ago

There were a handful of players getting under-the-table money--but not many, and nothing like the craziness we see today.

I know freshman bench warmers who got cash or cars back in the Fulmer days. and not high rated guys, some local TN boys who were filling out the roster.

yeah it wasn't as much or as nice as the star players, but everyone was taken care of.

Meyer has always been a sanctimonious and hypocritical jerk. I remember his speeches about only coaching at places who were willing to “do things the right way” and how most school don’t do it the right way. Enjoy this nuggets from his book. This was after he coached the Pouncey bros, Hernandez, and that guy who beat his girl then played a week later.

I am immediately suspicious when people feel the need to proclaim how virtuous they are.

That’s one of the great things about me, In addition to my integrity and humility. (Also, my selfless giving) I’ll never tell you how virtuous I am.

I knew a coach who recruited Eric Dickerson for OK State. He said Dickerson wanted $10K for a visit and $50K to sign. SMU paid up. That was a lot of money then

Seems like there was also a story about Oklahoma giving him a car and later wanted it back because he didn't sign with them.. I don't think he gave it back... 🤣
