The strange dynamic with Emery's alleged NCAA violations

dixdog

11/14/17 8:49am

Also that it appears none of the benefits were given or promised to get him to

cougarfann888

For that reason, I don't think BYU should suffer as an institution - we'll see

dixdog

11/14/17 9:01am

BYU shouldn't suffer, I doubt they come down on BYU.

Cougstreak

They’ll probably just make Emery pay back the perks

TunaNoCrust

11/14/17 11:25am

He already did. The NCAA issue is a big nothing-burger.

wapiti

So why did he drop out then?

Hill4Heisman

11/14/17 11:53am

Hmmmm.....

Cougstreak

11/14/17 11:55am

If there was no investigation, I would assume Emery wouldn't drop out

Hill4Heisman

11/14/17 12:08pm

Nobody in this thread knows exactly what's going on and neither

CMuehle

11/14/17 12:17pm

It is more than that......

Cougstreak

11/14/17 12:32pm

I don't mean to be rude, but there's no reason for me to believe you

CMuehle

11/14/17 12:47pm

Don't believe it and "pass" on believing what I say.

Cougstreak

11/14/17 4:44pm

Wait a minute.

CMuehle

11/14/17 4:54pm

You clearly have not read many of these posts!

Cougstreak

11/15/17 10:23am

You sound pretty proud of being privy to rumors

Unibro

See comment above.

11/15/17 10:24am

And, FWIW, the length of

CMuehle

11/14/17 12:54pm

Of course it is more the NCAA, it is his mental health and well-being, that is

Unibro

11/14/17 3:50pm

He said in his statement. Mental health.

Unibro

11/14/17 3:47pm

Maybe he was too embarrassed to ask his parents for Harry Potter tickets.

vagabonder

11/14/17 9:03am

Also the acceptance of the Harry Potter wand and butter beer (HC violation?).

Cougstreak

11/14/17 9:57am

similar to UCLA shoplifters--at least 2/3 were from wealthy families

Incentivize

11/14/17 9:03am

as a prosecutor, I see that often. There is a thrill associated with shoplifting

dixdog

11/14/17 9:08am

Some (many?) rich kids also have a sense of entitlement

CMuehle

11/14/17 9:12am

too true, and parents helping when their kids screw up can be counterproductive

dixdog

11/14/17 9:15am

We don't need an NCAA investigation to tell us Emery is entitled, although

zagdontzig

11/14/17 9:41am

I imagine that basketball and eligibility weren't on Emery's mind at the time.

Belboz

11/14/17 9:34am

Completely agree

Cyclogist

Divorce was the best thing my ex-wife ever gave me!

GilbertAZCougar

11/14/17 12:57pm

Same here, but probably a different woman.

Super sad, but I remember feeling the same way.

I don't know, it seems like a lot of the time it's active players

CMuehle

11/14/17 9:16am

True, but this booster wasn't trying to woo Emery to sign with an agent

dixdog

11/14/17 9:20am

Right.

CMuehle

11/14/17 9:26am

Exactly.

Cougstreak

11/14/17 9:56am

Maybe his parents weren't willing to pay for these trips

zuxvon

2 things you may be ignoring

Jimmy Rocket

11/14/17 10:07am

very possible

dixdog

11/14/17 12:32pm

Pretty sure NCAA sees the same difference you do.

CosmoK

11/14/17 10:07am

I'm guessing the NCAA will drop the investigation

wapiti

11/14/17 10:26am

I think there will be some kind of punishment wherever he plays -If found guilty

dixdog

11/14/17 12:35pm

"Violators don't get to choose how they are punishment." Tell that to UNC.

Reminds me of when Richard Jefferson was suspended for getting stuff at AZ

WJCougar

11/14/17 11:57am

If Jefferson got two games for that, we could expect Nick would get similar

dixdog

11/14/17 1:07pm

I guess I just assumed that the divorce played a big part in all of this

Gigo

11/14/17 12:40pm

I think that does accurately sum it up - we'll see

dixdog

11/14/17 12:44pm

I would not describe the Emerys as wealthy. Upper middle class for Utah.

Str8CashCougar

11/14/17 2:08pm

You mean that not everyone who goes to Lone Peak is as wealthy as the Mika's?

StantonMac

believe it or not, some of the LP folks drive USED Range Rovers

Str8CashCougar

Driving used Range Rovers is a recipe for poverty. The maintenance costs are
