An autograph? WOW talk about a lot of fuging evidence, any good lawyer can get Beason off.

I'm not talking about legal implications, just pointing out that Beason is obviously not being forthcoming about the situation, that is all.

If this is pursued legally, it'll never see a courtroom. Beason has plenty of money after signing that new deal. He'll write a check for hush money and this will quietly go away as far as his involvement in it. His public image is with a lot more than the hush money would cost him.

I think he ought to fight it, cause there is no way you can prove, he received benefits over an autograph.

Fine em all, suspend some, do whatever.

Send a message to these dudes and kids coming up that this will catch up with you and it doesn't get left behind when you leave your school to pick up the pieces.

I wonder how Beason feels knowing he took someone's retirement away from them.

But does Beason want his make drug through the mud about benefits he may have received that ultimately came from an illegal ponzi scheme?

Even if he gets off on a legal and/or civil case, he could still be convicted in the court of public opinion in what would likely become a pretty public affair with some potentially very unflattering info coming out. That could be very damaging to him in the way of possible endorsements, etc. Writing a hush money check would likely be the smarter choice in the long run.

Here we go with your trolling, the NFL isn't about to suspend players over something that happened 7 years ago in the NCAA, nice dreams. But it isn't gonna happen.

Yeah, because Jon Beason is the only NFL player EVER to have taken benefits from a booster while playing college football... :rolleyes:

Plenty do. From boosters, from agents, from all kinds of places. It's an epidemic. NCAA amateurism is a sham. It just is. I mean, just look how many schools have come under investigation as of late. If all the details were known, I'd be willing to bet the NCAA could build a case against every D1 school out there and likely a good number of lesser ones too.

There is a very low chance that any of the victims will be able to get anything from the players. They would need to prove that they players knew or should have known about the ponzi scheme. Seems like a big stretch but the trustee has an obligation to try and recover this money. I would think this wouldn't get very far other than headlines.

If it gets muddy enough. Lawsuits, IRS investigations, allegations of hookers and abortions.

The NFL can't have it, not after a lockout.

      Which Round Will Carolina Draft Sawyer Robertson?

      No matter what we still need a QB2 with potential to be a QB1. Keep throwing QBs at the wall until we find someone who sticks.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      By strato · Posted

      Lot of different agendas dictating opinions.  I don’t think it was the best use of money with Hunt, specifically, but the concept of OL, I am a fan. I didn’t complain a ton because I am a believer in winning up front, on both sides of the ball. I’d rather have stout fronts than fancy WRs. I have complained some about Hunt not being worth his deal, after seeing him get pushed around in a game or two. It’s no crusade. And have complained in the context of shorting the defense.   They have leveled out the FA imbalance with the dual big signings this offseason, and it has always been the draft picks I am most protective of. Anyway The picks are the real imbalance. If you did a trade chart value of the picks we directly gave up for Bryce, and added the support picks invested for skill players, and put that on one side… then put the little 3 3rd rounders and a 2nd that the defense got over three years on the other it would be hugely out of balance. I just want the balance restored. Defense is still owed.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton.  Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can.  I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. We did acquire a FA center this year finally. We'll see how much that impacts the line.  Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side.  I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline.
