CBSSports [URL=”http://gary-parrish.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/6271764/26691317″]reported earlier this morning[/URL] on Kansas State player Curtis Kelly, who will miss six games for “accepting impermissible benefits on the purchase of clothing at a department store.” According to Kansas State officials, the rules state that:
[I]Players must generally sit out 10 percent of a team’s scheduled regular-season games (in this case, three games) if the value of a benefit is between $100 and $300 and 20 percent of a team’s scheduled regular-season games (in this case, six games) if the value of a benefit is between $300 and $500.[/I]
First the [URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=5827821″]Josh Selby fiasco[/URL] (sit out nine games and pay a fine for working through a professional agent and accepting impermissible benefits). Then the Cam Newton fiasco (Have your daddy shop you around for hundreds of thousands of dollars, then win the heisman and get cleared to play in the National Championship). Then the Ohio State football fiasco (sell memorabilia while still an athlete – i.e. making money from your athletic position – and get to play now, sit out a few games next year when it won’t hurt as much). Now it’s the Curtis Kelly fiasco.
And Enes Kanter still warms the bench.
