Tiny investigation update

[Tony]

Looks like the Oklahoman got the phone records. Jake Trotter tweets, strung together:

Former #Sooner hoops asst. coach Oronde Taliaferro exchanged 41 calls and 25 text messages with financial adviser Jeffrey Hausinger...

according to university phone records. Hausinger is accused of wiring $3,000 into the account of former OU forward Tiny Gallon

Gallon has since declared for the NBA. The NCAA and OU are in a joint, ongoing investigation into the matter.

Hausinger, pressured to resign from Merryl Lynch, denies he wired money into Gallon's account, which was first reported by TMZ in March.

Taliaferro abruptly resigned April 18. It's uncertain if his relationship with Hausinger led to his resignation.

Nothing about that surprises me.

Oh, it's certain.

OU must not be worried because they didn't self impose any scholarships of put limitations on Capel.

 

[seniorsooner]

I fail to see how they could not be worried. If they aren't, they should be.

 

[NickZepp]

I think most of us put 2+2 together when Oronte quit

 

[El Jefe]

I'd rather win 2 games doing things the right, honest way than win 30 games by this constant BS. So tired of this.

How are we sure they won't self-impose some penalties? They haven't finished the investigation yet.

Oronde Taliaferro is a punk.

Are we really to assume that Jeff Capel knew nothing about this?

I don't think we can assume anything, until we have more evidence. Does it make more sense to assume that he did know?

I mean, I think logically it makes more sense. Of course, it seems odd that Kelvin and seemingly everyone knew about the phone calls EXCEPT Hoffman and McCallum, so who knows.

It seems odd to me that Capel would hand out all 13 scholarships, if he knew what was going on. If OU has to give up some scholarships, what happens to the kids that are already here?

OU actually has a contingency plan already in place if that happens. It's a Survivor-esque reality show. Takes place at the Duck Pond. Can't wait to see the Tyler Neal/TJ Taylor/Abdi Ahmed alliance that eventually results in Carl Blair losing his scholarship.

Hoopy.

 

[j2d2]

Does the national communists against athletes have the power to negate scholarships retroactively??? I doubt it. Maybe that's why Capel spent all the scholarships anticipating that it will short us some scolarships in the future.

If you'd like to scrutinize the date and time of every phone call and text message shared between O and Hausinger, the TW now has it up for your viewing pleasure.
