Ou Lineman Critical About Dismissal From Team

MeanGreen61 · April 4, 2007

"All I did was take cash. I didn't break any laws and I get kicked off the team, but there's people on the team that are breaking laws and failing drug tests and stuff like that, and there's nobody getting kicked off the team for that type of stuff."

-- J.D. Quinn

I can understand his point. He doesn't understand just why he was one of only two who were singled out on the team.

The usc wide receiver takes 18,000 and only pays back 5,000 and is allowed to play all year. Ohio state qb pays back 500 and gets to play. Ou was afraid of ncaa institutional control penalties because of the trouble basketball and gymnastics had just gotten into and that is why ou cut them. The other schools have not been cutting those that committ the infractions- they payback athe money and a short suspenion from meaninless games is all at many schools.

only in a fantasy world would the ncaa give the death penalty to a MAJOR football school today....it would be great, but unfortunately, it ain't gonna happen.

Maybe if enough people started calling for it?

When offered the cash, Mr Quinn had two clear choices which could have kept him out of trouble at OU.

A) Say "No thank you" and do the honorable thing by not accepting cash payments in violation of NCAA regulations.

Accept the payments but change his last name to Peterson.

And somehow acquire a lease on a new Lexus, WHILE LAUGHING AT THE NCAA THE WHOLE TIME.

4/14/07: Will probably be some fallout for OU. The NCAA has already requested the "TV commitments" for OU for the next 3 years. The LOIC is the ruling from the NCAA that OU is fearing.
