Reporting Bama players in 2009 took money for autographs/ signing memorabilia.

Barrett Sallee on Finebaum said that it won't amount to anything, even though there will be those who try to make a big deal out of it. Hope he's right.

Even if true, these alleged violations occurred outside the NCAA's four-year statute of limitations.

Yep, nothing to see here. Move along.

To me, just another example of the ongoing erosion of journalistic skills and standards.  It isn't hard to find that these charges, even if true, are outside the 4-year NCAA window.  But the lazy reporter didn't check on that factoid, and the editor didn't push him (or her??) to do it.

ESPN was on it like me on a biscuit earlier this morning. Headline read something like, "Bama embroiled in autograph for pay scandal". Looks like they've since pulled it. The only thing I can find now is the one from yesterday.

Their 30 for 30 series are pretty good. I love the ESPN Watch app. I watched the Bama exhibition basketball game last night. Last weekend I watched West Alabama play a Division II football game. In the spring you can watch all SEC baseball and softball games. I like ESPN. I just do not watch Sports Center and I am not sure when poker became a sport.
