Ex-Giants Thread: Is OBJ trying to get LSU in trouble?

Eric from BBI : Admin : 1/14/2020 8:49 am
Seriously, what is going through his mind doing this?


Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t that a violation of NCAA rules? - ( New Window )

He’s going into the draft  
BigBlueDownTheShore : 1/14/2020 8:53 am : link
He no longer is a Student Athlete.

For what?

Giving a kid a couple hundred. What is the violation?
He is so talented  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 1/14/2020 8:54 am : link
and such a self-absorbed idiot. The worse thing that ever happened to him was the catch against Dallas. Might have wound up in the same place but his "superstar" persona really is a negative to being the best player he can be.
I’m confused by the rules  
Rflairr : 1/14/2020 8:55 am : link
He gifted the whole team headphones. And it doesn’t appear to be a violation. I guess if it’s given to the school as a donation, it’s cool. But who knows with the NCAA

i chewed out for buying a student athlete a $1 soda at a soda machine.

He gave a kid entering the draft that more than likely grew up in poverty a few hundred bucks.

If the kid was coming back next year it would be different, but he’s no longer a student athlete.

Both this and him dancing in the locker room are "me" moves.
I guess it was cool for the players. He's a massive attention whore that is for sure
More idiotic behavior from Beckham?

What a shocker.

"Hey look at me! I carry a lot of money!"

Me, me, me, me.

That's Odell for you.

It’s funny that you guys bitch about click bait

Look, its been a lean couple of years. Not much to be happy about.  
j_rud : 1/14/2020 9:01 am : link
But not having to worry about what this guy is gonna do next is something to be grateful for. The lack of self-awareness is staggering. I mean truly staggering.

He is a Junior and to my knowledge had not declared, so he is still very much a "Student Athlete". I don't think there should be any penalty but it is stupid and likely will keep him from future post game celebrations.
He bought the entire team Beats Headphones  
ZogZerg : 1/14/2020 9:10 am : link
a week or so back. He did check with the school first.

At least he is giving back to his school.

No it is called charity

Socialism would be if the players who make the NCAA millions got paid for their efforts so they didn't have to accept charity.

Marianne at PSU : 1/14/2020 9:49 am : link
look at me... That's what's going on.

I used to really like him, but his act is stale.

He just looks foolish.
I think that OBJ  
BobsYourUncle : 1/14/2020 9:51 am : link
Is just incredibly immature, and has such a need to be liked/make an impression... and that he incapable of understanding tact or consequences to actions.

His Id is master to his Ego.
Isn't that called scholarship money?  
giantsfan227B : 1/14/2020 9:53 am : link
Maybe he is representing LSU making their latest installment payment for books and study material.
Lebron did the same thing for Ohio State

I read each team has a "bowl game gift allowance" for the players. that is, they can give each player playing in the bowl game some kind of gift. and that the headphones have to count against that allowance.
It has nothing to do with...  
Capt. Don : 1/14/2020 10:01 am : link
"What is the NCAA going to do?"

And more to do with, "what is Odell's deal?"

If he wanted to give a college kid a few hundred dollars he couldve done it without the cameras. This was about Odell being on stage - like he always needs to be.

It is hard to come across selfish when you are giving away hundreds of dollars - but somehow, Odell did it.

I feel sorry for him actually - it must be emotionally exhausting for him to constantly feel the need to be in the spotlight.
Kids have gotten in trouble with the NCAA  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 1/14/2020 10:04 am : link
for having access to a hose to wash their car that was unavailable to the general student population. I personally think the NCAA is completely corrupt and biased and unfair to the kids, but paying a kid after a game on the sidelines is no doubt a violation of something. The school allowed him on the sidelines, so they have some responsibility for his actions.

One of my best friends was a D1 coach and my daughter is a D3 athlete and the restrictions and surveillance on their actions is pretty incredible. Compliance coordinators, audits etc. Again, I personally think the NCAA is completely corrupt and biased and unfair to the kids, but it was really stupid on his part.

No, you're both wrong. Socialism would be if the government took that money from OBJ, NCAA and everyone else, took a high percentage cut, and redistributed a pittance among everyone else, and the players and everyone else would still be looking for charity, only there would be much fewer charities.

BTW, once again you guys are so naive to think these guys at major college programs aren't getting paid. They are getting money. It's just under the mattress, they are way more careful now about not having a trail. I have heard things.

First of all, Eric owns this site. He can do anything he wants with it.

Second of all, it's not clickbait, what he posted was topical, threadworthy, and made sense with respect to the title.

FatMan in Charlotte : 1/14/2020 10:09 am : link
played college baseball, we had a meal catered in sponsored by a local restaurant. We had to report it as a possible violation and got a letter of warning from the NCAA as a result.

and that's self-reporting something that nobody outside of bumfuck Lewisburg, PA would ever have known.
Mentally ill narcissist

Big surprise.

Is your definition of socialism a millionaire handing out a few hundred dollars in an obvious attempt to curry favor with impressionable young men while at the same time trying to steal the spotlight from them?
LSU isn't stupid, they probably had the players give the money back.  
Mad Mike : 1/14/2020 10:10 am : link
If not, it is absolutely a violation (especially since the other kid isn't a prospect who's going to go pro early). It may be a minor one, but this is the ncaa, and no violation is too minor for them to make a big deal of.
I don't think Beckham  
pjcas18 : 1/14/2020 10:11 am : link

since1925 : 1/14/2020 10:34 am : link
Doesn't this send a message to college recruits that come to LSU and get paid? It is against the spirit of the rules if not actually against the rules. It implies play for pay.

OBJ getting attention in all the wrong ways.
