Are Gene Taylor and Lakesbison the same person?

He could do it pro-bono if he wanted, but I doubt Bruce is doing so. NCAA won't even look at that issue, because it isn't an issue. The NCAA has major nickname issues to deal with-->remember?!?!? :lol:

Quick was quoted that all the players paid themselves and paid his full rate.

If this was mentioned, apologies.

But, Judge Herman slapped down the prosecutor pretty good during todays hearing. He implied strongly that the SA's rhetoric about the severity of the crime didn't match the lenient sentence.

From the Forum article:

Herman said the players were involved in a “reckless” enterprise, but he said they apparently weren’t aware of how seriously the adult public views election rules.

“I don’t think they were smart enough or grown up enough or sophisticated enough to understand” the process, he said.

Even if he did it pro bono would not the NCAA have an issue as to why he gave them his services for free? Wouldn't that be a benefit not offered to other students because they play football?

It's probably the only way he did it, unless he cut them a fee deal, and I believe he is an 'su alum. But I'm not sure how closely the NC$$ would look at attorney representation in a criminal matter. Bruce makes them a deal, they take a plea and if they behave for a year they are clean enough to work for 'su. No costly jury trials, motions, etc.

Wonder if Coach Bohl will use the ND criminal justice system as bulletin board material for the team - the courts, the media, the law-abiding citizens all "hating" on them.

I thought the pro-bono deal was what Jemison got in trouble for.

Sick burn by the judge.... :ohmy:

Saw a picture of the players all dressed up in the courthouse. I thought they would wear their Bison jerseys for sympathy. Hey, it works at the University, why not the courtroom?

Remember, not only will they be NDSU grads, they're NDSU football players....

(sorry ScottM)

Assuming they actually graduate. ;)

Does the new bison jersey rock the pinstripes?

The NCAA would have a major issue if he did it pro bono, because that would definitely be something provided to an athlete that wouldn't be provided to an average student. That is, unless Bruce has a history of doing pro bono work for NDSU students. The nickname issues are dealt with as far as the NCAA is concerned, they are ready to move on to other issues.

No matter what the arguments, the pure lack of ethics in this whole mess is bothersome.

This...^^^^^^
