SOWAL NCAA pick'em

Antoine Caldwell and Marlon Johnson, as well as RB Glen Coffee were suspended for UT and probably will be for LSU as well.

JB, you work on campus, right? If so, can you please explain to me what the deal was with the textbook violations?

Oh yeah. :roll: I just hope eveyone else stays healthy. Especially DJ Hall.

From Saban's pre-game press conference:

?I don?t have any new information on the suspended players from the Tennessee game. We?ll be glad to share that with you when we get it. It?s not going to do you much good to ask me about it because I don?t really know anything different about it.

No one is really sure. They are saying "impermissible receipt of textbooks." Purely a guess on my part, but I think they received more textbooks than their allotment and either gave away or sold the extras.

The rumor is a four-game suspension.

Oh, ok. I thought probably it was something like that. Thank you.

Why four games if it's just speculation?

I think the speculation is on everybody else not knowing what the "charge" was. I bet the ones in charge do know why the players are suspended or four games could be a little much.

Another question though since it's speculation, couldn't receiving extra textbooks and then selling them or giving them away be a nice way of saying "theft and distribution of stolen property"?

Thanks for your interest in our program. I'll pass your thoughts/questions on to Mal. :roll:

Why can't all these guys just stay out of trouble. When I say "all" I am encompassing all of the college atheletes.

Thanks, I didn't want to have to go back by his office after my stop at the bookstore. :roll:

Actually, the interest wasn't in the program but how a player would think this is a good idea or that they could get away with it. Look at Ball State, they have received a two year suspension because athletes from 10 different sports were idiots and did the same thing. If you go to class A, then get the required number of books for class A, no more or no less. It seems simple enough.
