A drop in the bucket compared to what they spent to get rid of Jimbo

They have $50,000 in the petty cash drawer of the athletic department. I bet aTm sends a 20% tip with the $50,000.

Have to make players or coaches unavailable for a half or a game or something

The HC should be banned from participating in the next game in addition to the fine.

I think the player and the coach need to be suspended for the entire next game AND the school pays a $50,000 fine to the school they did it against.

But the hypocrisy is priceless.

They did not even try to hide it. If they did, they were not very smart. Texas A&M may have tons of money, but $50,000 is still a lot for something stupid.

Don’t necessarily agree with player, they are doing what the coach tells them to do. Head coach or maybe related coordinator suspensions, along with fines, would definitely be more effective though

Better review that Tennessee tape and the RB…
