OT: January 23rd, 2018...
- Thread starter BigtimeAub
- Start date
Gonna be upset if this is an Ovaltine advert, OP.
Confident? Not really. There is at least some hope the ruling could be changed. Otherwise, there would be no need for an appeal. Wiley will get to speak, and the 6-person panel is made up of AD types, not NCAA compliance types. So, maybe there is an ability to reason with them that his time served is sufficient and he can resume at some point this season.
Sources close to the situation say "Maybe"
I clicked that link and assumed @BigtimeAub had found a priceless coin that would sell for millions....and he was going to bribe somebody to get Wiley eligible.
I think some of the Greg has smoked pot with members of the appeal committee, so hopes are high.
From PM:
"Austin Wiley's appeal of the decision suspending him until next season will be heard Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. No one I talked to knows exactly when a decision will be rendered, but it is expected to be quick. Same day, maybe."

Praying for the best. Hopefully he’s been busy rehearsing a sob story and we’ve been working behind the scenes bribing/blackmailing the committee.
BRUCE planning a cookout post hearing? I hope he shares some hotdogs and cold beverages with these fine gentlemen that are about to take the shackles off of young AUSTIN
Is this Wiley kid any good? Never heard of him.
Do we have names and/or Twitter handles for these committee members? I have an entire catalogue of DM threats I'd like to run past them.
Hell yeah we do:

I believe an esteemed Gregger has got Keli Zinn on board. Still time to work on the other 5 members.
Meh. He’s aight. Would give us 5 more fouls and a Robb Chubb sized body to make us bigger in the post.
Sounds like PM has been reading the Greg today.
Knowing nothing more than what was in the FBI document and what has been posted on these boards, I’d think Wiley has a legit chance of reducing his sentence if there isn’t anything directly implicating him having knowledge of his parents getting money.
I think he could argue it wasn’t in his best interests, he wasn’t involved and had no knowledge of the money plan, and his punishment so far is longer than other situations where a student athlete received a non-recruiting extra benefit that was paid back. He’s missed 2/3 of the season. If the money has been repaid, that should be more than sufficient for his “crime.”
I’m sure there’s a lot more to this that we probably don’t know, but on the surface, it makes sense to me. Free the man.

A big black Chubb is just what this team needs. Break out the BBC shirts now.
I got so mad reading this until I realized it was a troll, but I'm still a little mad.
I sacrificed a goat this morning, hope it helps.
Like where your head's at. Whoever accepted the money tore the family apart and has been renounced as a legal guardian to young Austin. The money is MOOT. FREE AUSTIN.
I've made a list of things I definitely wouldn't kill to #FreeWiley

Yep, Trott is the potential kink here. They don't call him the Student Athlete Eligibility Trott Line for nothing. And who thinks wearing a white tie with a white shirt is a good idea? Hopefully his conference call line will be accidentally muted throughout the hearing.Jennifer Vining-Smith (a little worried about the hyphen)

Yeah this Trott kid looks like a dick. His family probably spends 10k on gassing up the yacht every week though so maybe he’ll have the proper perspective on these meager payments.
If he's anything like Tommy Trott, this kid is sure to drop any charges thrown his direction....
Keli Zin could definitely receive it. Just the way Keli is spelled you know she's down

Michael Bitter is a guy who would definitely say “So he got a few hookers and a few lines of coke. He’s a good kid”
Think we got a winner there
