Stallions speaks through Attorney

I still think the regs are so poorly written that it isn’t clear what conduct it intends to prohibit. No legitimate administrative proceeding would find it enforceable.

They specifically say sign stealing is allowed. Only person scouting is the prohibited conduct.

But what does “in person” mean? It’s very reasonable to believe that it only forbids in person scouting by the staff. And it’s absolutely reasonable to make that conclusion since there is other language that does say the whole section applies to staff.

Also, “scouting’ is not defined. In normal usage a scout is a knowledgeable specialist who can observe, analyze, and draw conclusions about an activity, territory, enemy, etc., then report their observations and ideas to whomever sent them. The people involved did not do that and probably were not capable of scouting in its normal sense.

I’ve also read some people claim paying someone to use their phone to record a video and then transmitting it electronically is prohibited. Since pretty much every team does now pay people to record videos and transmit them to the school electronically it’s obviously not prohibited conduct.

The only concern I have is that this is not a legitimate proceeding - it’s the NCAA. I have a bad feeling that they intentionally make the language vague so that they can interpret it any way they want, adjusting the meaning depending on how they feel about the accused.

This is my biggest gripe about all of this. How is stealing a few signs a game worse than paying players to come to your school so you can stack all the talent? Having all the talent has way more advantages 

He didn't just look for a loophole. He went onto CMU's sidelines. 

He completely lost his compass. 

And nothing he says can be taken at his word. That's what happens when you start lying and cheating. You lose your credibility.

Wish him the very best and a regained healthy perspective.

No(?)

You missed the point.  His story can be whatever he wishes.  TMZ doesn’t want to hear the truth.

I’m pretty sure that’s standard for someone suspected of doing something bad but not like, REALLY bad.  Probably some legal stuff to avoid as well, shows less presumption of guilt.

Well, did he get paid to resign and make this statement as well?  Like hush $$?
