Hahahaha, finally - a SC fan shows up. Couldn't believe it took this long to find one on a sports gambling forum.

Martin might be suspended ala Bruce Pearl.Comment -
According to who? Or just making shit up?Originally posted by PickWinnerAllDayComment -
They had a guy getting paid impermissible benefits... This isn't much different than what Pearl went through at Tennessee. I'm assuming USC would be able to void the contract at this point if the NCAA wanted to make an example of Martin.Originally posted by MoneyLineDawgComment -
Samuels doesn't have parents and was getting paid by his father figure, who was also his AAU coach, a little bit of personal money.......Originally posted by PickWinnerAllDay
Frank Martin has nothing to do with that, and was pissed they even suspended Samuels because of the circumstances (Kid is dirt poor with no family)......
NCAA takes into account a lot of factors, not everything is black and white when they make a decision......
And what was going on with Bruce Pearl runs a hell of a lot deeper, come on nowComment -

Im very close to this situation having inside info from a local radio station owner and host who has a strong relationship with Martin... first to clarify the so called impermissable benefits are of very little concern to the NCAA . In fact we are talking of extremely minor consequences if any at all.. the crux of Martins conflict is a long conflict with Curie the AD at KSU.. He was hired to straighten and improve the financial situation In Manhattan.. Curie became his own complaince dept. making it difficult for both coaches... Martin and Synder... to save $$ and pad the books he had the football team take bus rides to games which angered Synder.... the problem was he was extremely successful at padding the books but when things were looking good he wouldnt allow the teams to share the overflow . Instead Curie became the ultimate asshole and penny pincher.. the self reporting of the last incident was just the straw that broke the camels ass.
Marin and Bill Synder both have a horrible relationship with this jackoff.. Curie never made any serious attempt to resign Martin. In fact they rarely spoke to each other cause Martin would just as soon punch his lights out... Martin couldnt take being around this jackoff any more...Its that simple..Comment -
Just as I thought Ironman......Frank Martin is a damn good coach and I've always liked him at K-State....For South Carolina this has gotta be a slamdunk hireComment -
IMO, Martin is a great coach. He does more with less than arguably any coach in the country. However, he will only be successful if he can recruit kids to Columbia. To this point, that has been a struggle. Many believe his one weak point is recruiting. Yes he had successful players at K State but some of them were from Bob Huggins as well as his former assistant coach, Dalonte Hill, who is at Maryland now. Hopefully, Martin gets the players and if so, I have zero doubt the program will follow a similar path the football program has ensured. In any fashion, go cocks!Comment
