The Hot Seat Continues

I am beginning to feel sorry for the people who work at the University of North Carolina and their fans.  It seems that Carolina is being run by the Mafia  or they are being hit with a streak of bad luck.  More bad news as Holden Thorpe announce that the top Money begger for Carolina former football player Matt Kupec has been relieved of his duties.

Seems that Kupec has been taking too many business trips while asking for donations which has turned out to be a way of going to see Tyler Hansbourgh play basketball at Carolina with Hansbourgh's mother in tow. I am not worried about the expense for the trip so much for any business man does that any time they take a trip.  Let's file an expense report and take off on taxes as company expense.  The kicker here for Carolina is this might be an NCAA violation for Hansbourgh mother receiving advantages that other parents couldn't get.

Duke could be joining Carolina on the NCAA hot seat as as  a player on the 2010 championship basketball team is being sued by a jewelry store in New York for failure to pay a nearly $70,000 debt.  The questions that need to be answered is where did the player get the money for the down payment?   Is his family able to give him $30,000 to walk the streets of New York City?  If so all is forgotten  Did the credit the jewelry store gave him was it due to him being a Duke Basketball player.  If it was then that is a NCAA violation.

I don't know about you but another question I have is, does the employee who let the Duke player walk out of the store owing $70,000 still work for the store?  Who in their right mind would let a 21 year old who doesn't have a job walk out with merchandise without paying.  Smelling pretty fishy here don't you think?

Is there any hope that the world of college athletics continue to spiral out of control?  Word has come out that the top player on the Harvard basketball team has quit school due to a cheating scandal going on at Harvard.  They don't even have scholarships so what's the deal here?

Had my first chance last night to be on the mic at the jv football game  as Rocky Mount beat SouthWest Edgecombe 20-14 in overtime.  Those in attendance had to put up with no clock most of the game as the brand new transmitter that sends the signals to the score board went out 20 seconds before the start of the game.  The second half it started working again only to go out with about 40 seconds to go in the game and SWE driving to tie the game and no one only Babe Allen the referee who was keeping the time on the field knew how much time was left.
