OTish: Alabama F Dee Liner photo with cash
Move along people. Nothing to see here.........
Dee Liner is an awesome name.
Almost as good as Wydree Siever.
as in "hey go deline that trash can before you put it back in the corner"...his future manager at McDonalds.
Laquon Treadwell now wants to visit Bama
But word on the street is that Ole Miss offered a lot more than the going rate to reel in their class last year.
The NCAA will ignore it. They will sweep it right under the rug
Ignore what? A picture of a kid with money? What, exactly, is he guilty of?
I don't get why you'd want to poze with a bunch of cash, I would poze with an American Express card and show off my high credit limit. Credit bitches, credit.
Money can be exchanged for goods and services. This also provides the ancillary benefit of attracting the attention of the female gender.
I'm not saying he did anything wrong but the NCAA won't even look into it. A college kid doesn't just come up with that kind of money out if no where.
Well except for the student loans which pays out about 7 grand over tuition which is what the scholarship covers.
Oh come on. A freshman just got to campus, flashes about a thousand dollars in 20s on the internet, and adds the hashtag "#struggleoverwit"
It's sure as hell walking like a duck and sounding like a duck...
Plays at Alabama not Oregon. Sounds like a crimson tide, looks like a crimson tide??
And the sound is quite calming, as long as you try to ignore the fact that the waves are red...
Well he is black.
That's a crime right?
I knew people in high school that would take pictures like that and trust me they were not SEC athletes. Or athletes. It isn't the smartest thing to do or even a smart thing at that but it's not fair to say its BAMA money.
Their summer job paying a lot more than mine.
Counting the visibile bills that's around $800. All together it's probably a grand.
800? No way. It's considerably more than that. To my eye it looks like somewhere in the neighborhood of 5,000.
I mean, the picture is right there. Count what you see. I got 39 bill faces exposed and just assumed that he has 10 stacked in his left hand on the far right picture. At 6000 in mostly twenties, that's 300 (post revision now, you're down to 250) bills.
In regards to the comment that there's 100 dollar bills below, yes, there's one on top that I didn't count as 100. The majority appear to have "20" printed on them, from what I can tell from the small picture.
Past this, I've run out of attention span to care further.
Thats Banjamin Franklin not Andrew Jackson on those bills.
Spare change mister?
smallest thing I got is $100.
"Alabama F Dee Liner"?
Is this that versatile Forward position in basketball?
Forgot the r.. Fr..
That is a LOT of money. There is no way this isn't coming from an illicit source.
Or maybe he has a good summer job, works a lot of hours, and makes decent money. Just a thought.
Get paid in cash, keep all that cash for the whole summer, and/or don't have a bank account? It still says a lot about who you are if you flash cash, instead of being quiet about it.
I agree that flashing cash is not the most mature thing to do. But with the kid's character (or lack thereof) aside, it's possible that the money could have been obtained legally, contrary to the opinion of TheGhostofChappui.
The summer before I went to college, I didn't have a bank account. My dad used to cash my checks for me and I kept it locked in his office drawer. I had almost two thousand dollars before I left and used to love to count it.
The summers during college, I worked for a moving company making $8-$10 an hour and worked a lot of hours to make over $7000 for school.
If I had to bet though, I'd say this was provided in an envelope under the door. Dolla dolla bills y'all
Yes because if there is one person who is likely to get a part-time job for the summer and save all his money, it's a kid with a full scholarship for Alabama football.
why do you still post here?
legit
Why?
All they did is sell back their books. No big deal.
I wasn't aware Dee Liner possessed the book of Amun-Ra.
I don't understand why the NCAA doesn't do something about this shit. These kids are practically asking you to find violations. The whole system is so broken it's not even funny.
What do you propose they do?
Based on Becker's 1968 paper on the economics of crime, I would start by drastically increasing enforcement staff. I would then make some attempt at actually calculating the likelihood of uncovering a violation and rearranging my penalty structure accordingly. Without doing a formal analysis, I would wager this would result in penalties four to five times more severe than what is currently on the books. Finally, I would employ undercover investigators and potentially hire a third party PI firm. Lastly, I would petition Congress as hard as I could to grant the NCAA subpeona power, though admittedly this would likely be unsuccessful.
In short, the NCAA deterrence model is a damn joke, and it should be fixed.
I'd imagine that it is not the easiest thing to prove without a third party involved. Most of the major recruiting scandals have been because someone on the inside either screwed up and left a paper trial (like Oregon's on-the-books payment to Willie Lyles) or felt like they were wronged and wanted revenge (like SMU and David Stanley). As long as the two parties are happy with the arrangement and smart enough to not leave a paper trail, there is nothing that the NCAA can do without proof that that money was ill gotten.
Easier, more efficient, and better to just get rid of the rule making this a violation
Thats somewhere between 3 and 4 thousand. I am sure its from a legit job.
They found it in a shoe box
Notice there's not a picture with all of them together. I wouldn't be surprised if they all combined their money and each took a picture with it to try and look like hot shit.
/itdidn'twork
Regardless, how many young college kids have stacks of hundreds laying around?
All the ones who don't have a bank account and want to look like hot shit, which is more than you'd think. How do you think all those check cashing places stay open in downtown Detroit? Those places are criminal, but there's enough demand for one to profit on every block.
So your belief is that this money is completely legitimate?
No my belief is that there's no indication one way or the other, because kids who don't play sports do this all the time as well. It might be from Bama, it might be drug money, it might be he saved up his money from a job and exchanged it for 100s just so he could take this picture that he's been dreaming about all summer, or it could be that he has a wealthy relative who gave him some money for a new computer and didn't realize he's an idiot.
