Yea...










So, you going to his party?

This happened with Sammy Watkins too. The only reason this is news is because Jones is a moron, and because of what it was he was promoting lol.

Happens quite often. I remember at one point Tyrod's picture was used for a local 757 fair of some sort without his permission.

Dwight Jones is eligible to play too. Jadaveon Clowney, and C.C.Whitlock of USC were in trouble for the same thing. Dwight is stupid, but shouldnt be ineligible...

1) Not surprised he was ruled eligible.

2) he knowingly used his name or image to promote a party that requires admission. Whether he was paid or not, it is a violation to use your likeness to promote any for profit event. If the ncaa wanted to press it would be bad for Jones/unc.

there wasnt an event for profit that he promoted...their is no party so i dont see how it is going to require admission. He can have another party next week though and promote it as much as he wants. He just cant have the party that he promoted. if i understand it all correctly, he just has to hope the party doesnt happen, but even if it does he cant be penalized because then he isnt a student athlete that the ncaa can penalize.

So... still waiting for the hammer here.

Then we can move on to Miami. Also, wasn't there a rumor about all sorts of no-no's going on with a major SEC program? Possibly one that rhymes with Ramalama?

Doing some searching on PackPride. Looks like we may hear something about this within the next week. Usually there is an 8-12 week window where penalties are handed down after the hearing. Tomorrow will be 11 weeks since the hearing on October 28th.

So before signing day... depending on the severity of the punishment, do we expect any exodus? They'd have to go outside the ACC, right?

I see their recruiting this season has tapered off considerably.

First off, are there even that many guys that are considering both UNC and Tech? I don't think this year is anything like last year.

would they really have to go outside of the ACC?? They haven't officially committed anywhere. They can do whatever they please, correct?
