C. Rodriguez (grapevine ?)

SMH. Doesn’t make right. At all. And he got caught.

Quit making excuses for bad behavior. Try that with a cop sometime. “But they’re speeding toooo!”

Let me know how that works out for you.
This was a job that was setup by a booster and has went on for from what others have said 15-20 years across multiple sports. A change in admins brought out the problem. Wright is suspended too. Looks like at least one more. It may not make it right that it's went on this long or that a booster is responsible, but it is ridiculous to suspend them now.

These comments are why JRow and MJ didn't want to report anything. Along with the family right act they may have not been able to either
 
And he is being punished. Excessively imho.
Here’s my problem. If he messed up bad he needs some sort of punishment. But him setting out punishes the team and the fans. I know that’s how it works but it ducks to go to Florida without him.

I'd be shocked if someone he reported to didn't know what was going on and tacitly approved it. The situation may not be as cut and dry as you're thinking.
 
Remember the good ole days when players sat in the stadium to "water" the field? That was an actual job way back when.

UK and other schools have done this forever. The horse farms were notorious for hiring basketball players back in the 70’s-90’s.
 
Is the hospital part of the university ? Then it’s possible.

The debate is more about stealing, imo. The supervisor encouraged this action and told CROD and others to do it. If you’re told to do this… is it still stealing? Definitely at least more gray.

New next level boss comes in, doesn’t like this arrangement (maybe fairly, we’re biased here after all…), raises hell to higher ups at UK, we have this mess on our hands. CROD’s boss is no longer there.. read the tea leaves on that one

The IRS won't care as long as he paid taxes. And he probably did. The problem is that he was paid for a service that wasn't actually a service which makes it less NIL and more a cash gift.
Like rich kids getting there gender diversity degrees paid for by the taxpayers so they can go March against evil whites and racists police with antifa and blm.

I mean taking money for work you’re “doing” is wrong. Told to do it or not. That’s grade school stuff. Integrity is doing the right thing regardless.

I’m not saying C-Rod holds all the blame. But. That doesn’t excuse it either.
 
If Matt said that I’ve lost a ton of respect for him.

Covering up the truth is disgusting.
I think it was in a tweet but he actually said he knew most of the story and it was ridiculous that anyone is getting suspended. Difference is you and I don't actually know most of the story. JRow actually said this is why he wouldn't report what info he had

Pull the beam out of your eye before getting a splinter out of others. Good grief let it go!!
I’m not claiming to be perfect dude. Never did. But there is right and wrong. If you can’t accept it fine. But what’s not cool is to constantly turn a blind eye to it.
 
Anyone that says everybody cheats sound like Louisville fans when they get caught. If you did it own it
My mom taught me from an early age that if you get caught you own it. And don’t complain that everyone else was doing what you shouldn’t have been doing in the first place.
 
BBN has been very patient with this topic.... amazingly no real speculation or "insight" from this board, as is usually the case.

Understood that "we" are being respectful to the players and coaches; however, surely there is something out there circulating on the grapevine that folks are willing to share ??

Go CATS!

It's none of BBNs freakin business, and the only people still speculating or circulating rumors and speculation are jagoffs at this point. It doesn't matter what he did. Get over it already.

Rowland said he wouldn’t report it because it’s not suspension worthy? Well then shouldn’t he report it since we’d then see it’s not a big deal and quit speculating? These reporters saying they know what it is, it’s not a big deal, but they definitely can’t tell us make it worse. If it’s so little, report it.
 
Honestly if the speculation is true the fact that he is such a good player is the only reason he is still on the roster. Let's wait until we read the actual whole story though and maybe it's not so bad.

Not telling details of something Is not covering it up. They just said they weren’t going to talk about it since UK would not confirm it.

Did she cover not judging others without knowing what actually happened?

THIS. ALL OF THIS.

BBN would be much more willing to let it go if they would either 1) report it or 2) shut up about it.

Poijt out the exact statement where I assaulted CRods character or proclaimed his eternal resting place.

I’m just merely interested in the truth.

And you leave my mother out of your mouth than you very much.

First you brought your mom up. Not me. And I assure you I meant nothing bad by posting that. I’m a lifelong mommas boy.

you basically called him a criminal and said the irs could go after him. And you don’t even know what happened. Just rumors.

and lastly you don’t really need to know. It’s not your business. It’s between him and the school. If either decide to talk about it then fine. But neither owe you anything.

UK media needs to shut up then. Instead of teasing the fan base.

Depending on what happens (which we don’t know BUT IF what’s being said might be true) money issues is a good way to end up in a lot of people’s bad side. And the fact Uk is being ridiculously hush hush over something the sports media says is so “ridiculous” doesn’t make for a good look imo.

That's why I don't think the hospital rumor is true. Ultimately insurances companies are the ones paying and I think it would be fraud. Already said it wasn't a legal issue. Honestly that would be a big deal and deserve a suspension. I think he just got lazy with his paperwork, didn't get it in on time, kid stuff. Which falls more under category of not being a suspendable offense.

He is being punished you are acting like he should get the death penalty. You are overreacting big time. I think you are a troll trying to bug folks. I guess you think he needs to be kicked off the team and turned into the IRS!!

UK is not being “ridiculously hush hush” over this.

It is a disciplinary issue being handled by the University, which means the University is prohibited by law from publicly sharing the details of the situation unless Rodriguez gives the University permission to do so.

Never said that. Not even once.

Quit putting words into my mouth. Death penalty? Now who’s being over dramatic?

well I know what happened and people should stop asking about it...
 
I've speculated it somehow involved getting paid when he shouldn't but I was thinking more along the lines of this NIL stuff.

Either way he got a DUI. There was gonna be punishment for that in and of itself.
