This can be explained. . .


. . . the alleged exchange, if it's real, between John Miller and Laremy Tunsil is perfectly legal and common. There is something known as an "opportunity fund" to help players in financial need. Any money players receive is on a need basis and is part of the opportunity fund. There is also Pell Grant money and federal assistance funds players can apply for in times of need. Miller, Barney Farrar and Tom Luke help players attain these monies by helping them fill out the proper forms. All monies from these funds has to be approved through compliance.

What Tunsil meant by his statement in Chicago, I cannot interpret, but that is one possibility. Also, after the interview/press conference , Tunsil apparently recanted and reportedly said he didn't understand the questions regarding money.

Again, I was not there and did not hear tone or tenor of any of the conversations, so my account of what happened is not first-hand, but I am not going to panic over tonight's happenings.

Yea good luck with that chuck

[smootness]

Yeah, that doesn't explain it...

He said it was a mistake, and the coach in the text message clearly talks about personally covering the costs.

[AlmostPositive]

That's some museum grade bullshit right there.

You text your coach to get money. For your mother's light bill, no less.

I'm sure the "opportunity fund" caretakers will welcome an audit....

17 chuck. He can spin it 24-7 until they close the lid on his coffin and it won't make a shits difference. These SOB's are going down and I'm gonna have a 17'n stroke and die happy.

[AFDawg]

I don't think those sorts of funds are for rent or utilities.

This is an example of what is known as trying to put the fox back in the henhouse

I agree. Pell grants are applied for on an individual basis through the school. Or they are by regular students. The STUDENTS (not a teacher, counselor or a coach) receive the funds that are in excess of tuition in the mail to their home address from their university.

If OM fin aid Dept is routing excess funds to asst. Coaches instead of mailing a check to the players parents, I would say that is highly unethical.

[messageboardsuperhero]

So a player whose family we are supposed to believe is well off enough to pack up and move to a big ass house in Oxford is also eligible for need based pell grants just to feed himself?

Does this nimrod actually believe the things he says?

[Homedawg]

Credit to chuck, he's held firm and is determined to sink w the ship. Congrats for drowning in the largest ship wreck ever, now over taking the titanic!

[starkvegasdawg]

What is funny is watching all the bears flock to this and say, "See! We haven't done anything wrong." I wonder how many actually believe that and how many just want to believe that.

[louisvilledawg]

It's just a coping mechanism
