Sounds like MSU is one of the last clean programs in the country
- Thread starter JRMSU
- Start date
well he was all but begging UK to recruit him and Cal stayed as far away from him as possible
Probably most of the other 351 Division 1 men's basketball schools. Your claim is akin to claiming to be the last honest man in the state because you weren't fingered at the police lineup you were in. Good on you, but the pool of innocents is much larger than that.
Well no shit Sherlock.
It was obviously a joke. There’s a lot a clean small programs
A lot of clean big programs too. MSU isn't unique in this regard.
'cept for that dude putting his wee wee inside that dog and, you know, the rape issues.
Other than those things, you're right, clean as a whistle.
Maybe they just couldn't afford him since they blew their wad on Jaren Jackson. 
I kid, I kid.
I kid, I kid.
Maybe izzo could get back to the final four if he started paying players. He might not get back to another one otherwise.
Purdue doesn't pay players. I honestly wouldn't care if we did tho since apparently everyone else is.
Well, yeah. If UK wanted dude. UK would have dude. I’m still speechless that people were willing to pay that amount of money for this scrub.
Here’s your list from before last season started.

I'm just glad we have Roy. You never really have to worry about any legit rule issues with him in charge.
I don’t think that necessarily shows MSU is clean. Just that they weren’t willing to pay for Bowen. Maybe Izzo has a feeling Bowen’s dad was potential trouble? Or maybe they just weren’t that interested?
At any rate, I’d wager there is no major program that is truly clean.

UK got a STEAL only paying $200K for Davis if the going rate for this scrub was up to $150K+. 
Oh, Keith Appling didn't play basketball at MSU?
Muh bad.
Muh bad.
Again, what does this have to do with the topic of this thread.
Also, no charges against Keith Appling were ever filed while he played basketball at Michigan State.
No charges means he didn't do anything wrong, right?
Surprised Izzo didn't have Appling at least sit a half for conduct unbecoming of an athlete, even if the scummy DA didn't think there was enough evidence to prosecute.
Again, what does that have to do with us not paying players.
I don’t understand how a former player going to jail after he was at MSU makes us a dirty basketball program.
Again, this is not the subject of the thread.No charges means he didn't do anything wrong, right?

If someone is just accused of a crime but no charges are filed why would you sit a player. That seems absurd. I’m not saying he’s not guilty but I don’t think Izzo was at fault here.
Doesn't take much to get your dander up. We are just messing with you… .sorta.
Izzo could read the report I just read and come to conclusion that Appling was acting in a way unbecoming of an athlete. If it could be proved he raped a girl, kick him off the time. If it can't be proved that he raped a girl BUT he put himself in a bad situation with some evidence that it could have happened, sit him for a half or a game.
the only reason a MSU fan would make this thread is they know the rest of the CBB world looks at them just like others do Louisville BB, Baylor FB, etc...

I mean not to go over this again. But three different DA’s cleared him, and the federal govt cleared him as well. And izzo had no access to county prosecutor records or videos.
I think this kinda stuff is pretty black and white. If he did do it, he should be arrested and kicked off the team.
If there isn’t enough evidence to convict someone of something then why punish them.
There’s no 6 month jail time for someone who could have done the crime but there isn’t enough evidence to prove it.

Not having enough evidence to convict someone doesn’t mean Appling represented Spartan Athletics in a good light with his actions. Coaches bench players for things that aren’t crimes all the time. It’s distributing that you can read that police report and don’t think there was ANY lesson that could’ve been taught to Appling.
The DA said not only was he not gonna charge appling. He said he doesn’t believe a crime was even committed.
How does one suspend a player when the law says nothing happened.
Nothing happened? A witness said that a drunk girl told Appling to stop and then Appling talked (pressured?) that drunk girl into letting him go further. Whether or not that's a crime punishable in the court of law or not is not my expertise. I do think that it's fair to bench of player who put himself in the position Appling did for Conduct Unbecoming of an Athlete. Players get benched for all sorts of things (grades, being late for practice, etc.). There is nothing "absurd" about teaching a player a lesson by benching him for what happened in that dorm.
If Y'all paid better Bazley would have stayed committed. Boeheim needs to get with the program.
Dude I didn’t say nothing happened. The UM booster DA said in the press conference nothing happened.
DA might have been wrong but how was Izzo supposed to know that? Hindsight
