Is this why Capel said "We'll see" about Tiny Gallon?

I agree, this incident probably is the reason for the midseason suspension.

I also agree they should have come out and said what he did then so it takes all the speculation out of it.

If I were an OU fan, I would hope that this is NOT the reason for the mid-season suspention.

If OU did indeed investigate this, but found "no wrongdoing", then the university could end up in hot water.

Because I don't know how you could possibly justify an agent/rep puting $3K into a player's bank account.

I think it would be better for OU if this were the first they were hearing about it...
 
I had heard Tiny took money and shoes from an agent, not a financial adviser. Tiny was using his OU email account to talk with an agent.....not surprised at this at all.

What if he gave back the money?

If OU knew about it, but didn't report it, then it's a problem. Even if he gave it back.

The violation was taking the money in the first place, and the university is supposed to report all violations that they find.

That's why I'm saying it's probably better for OU if this is the first they are hearing about it.

I hope this is old news...I hope it was the deal last time and we reported it and we were fine...if not that means I am sure gallon is gone if he did that...or if capel ignored it and new about it he is gone
 
OMG, i thought our season was finally over and i could move on...

When will it stop!
 
If they already reported this and he was still playing obviously it was already solved as far as the NCAA was concerned.
 
As for who gave Keith the dough -- the document shows it's Jeffrey Hausinger, a Merrill Lynch financial advisor who reps several professional athletes.

I think you guys are crazy to believe this is simply the in-season stuff and has already been dealt with, but I hope you are right.

Yeah, the red flag for me is the quote from Castiglione.

OU Athletic Director Joe Castiglione says the school is committed to following NCAA rules, and "any activity not in compliance is taken seriously and is acted upon swiftly."

If this was the story that was looked into earlier in the season that led to Tiny missing the OSU game, you would think Castiglione would have said as much in his quote to TMZ.

But, to me, that quote sounds like the typical AD speak given when a new allegation comes about.

It will be interesting to see how long it takes OU to make an official response on this today.
 
If we had ANY inkling of this and let him play, I want Jeff out of here. It's a bit of a knee-jerk reaction on my end, but if this is the case, it's time to clean house......again.

There's too much "history" at this school to mess with these things. We already have the NCAA permanantly planted in Norman and have a rep for bad things. We don't need ANYONE here that is going to further perpetuate these notions.

That being said, if this is the first we know of this cash, then I don't know what I think. I do know that I now want Tiny Gallon gone, assuming this is true. Again, I don't care where it came from or why it was there. If it seems shady, it probably is.
 
The good news is that it doesn't sound like OU did anything wrong, nor did a booster of OU do anything wrong. The bad news is that this looks awfully suspicious...curious how TMZ got a hold of a document reflecting a wire transfer, depending on the document, dispensing information like that is a federal crime.

Oh, and the reason why Nick asked if all would be forgiven if he gave the money back is becuase in the past, that has been an acceptable solution with NCAA [see Troy Smith, Jarrett kid at USC]. In any event, Tiny SHOULD give the money back, for sure he didn't earn it this year.
 
Does this new revelation put our streak of winning at least 13 games a year in jeopardy?
 
They obviously have the wrong guy. That report referred to a "basketball star". I don't know of any stars named Tiny Gallon.

I'm saying if he was playing after this was investigated it was found out that he either gave the money back or there was nothing wrong with the gift. He was suspended indefinitely(which ended up being 2 games) unless Capel doesn't want to coach much longer I doubt he just let him play when the thing wasn't solved then.

Seriously, who names their kid Augie?
 
i'm going to bet this investigation is quicker than USCs investigation
