    Bryce Brown was involved in a fund raiser to raise funds to send him to football camps so the NCAA is investigating his amateur status. No investigation on any school that recruited him though.

    This is actually a common practice. If this kid is ineligible, there are a whole lot of kids who are as well.

    I suggest that the NCAA rule on this 4 yrs. after they rule on the Reggie Bush matter. After all, that's about their speed isn't it?

    I want them to rule on it yesterday. Until he is cleared, he does not play. He is already expected to miss at least the first game.

    What a crock of sh*t.

    If you pull out the microscope, you'll find ineligible all over the country. Retro-actively, this would apply to literally thousands of kids who played college football.
