Oregon Ducks quarterback Jeremiah Masoli was arrested for 2nd degree burglary. He stole a couple laptops and a guitar from a fraternity house. Chip Kelly, Oregon’s football coach, said that Masoli would be suspended for the entire 2010 season. The once Heisman hopeful, can redshirt for a season while he is on suspension and won’t lose his scholarship or waste a year of eligibility. It will be up to him if he wants to return in the 2011 season. It’s a big blow for a team that had high hopes for the Pac-10 title, with no clear front runner in the conference. Without any extra investigation on my part whatsoever. I like it, it shows that Oregon isn’t slipping him a bunch of money under the table to their players as he would be an obvious beneficiary. He definitely wouldn’t have had to rip a laptop off. He’d already have one, and some other “gifts” to swap for some cash. I guess there’s a slight possibility that he may have done it for “fun” because he didn’t like that frat, but I’ll assume he committed the crime for financial reasons. I wonder if Masoli is wishing he went to USC, and at least got paid!

Until students get a stipend stuff like this will continue to happen. But ‘there’s no one with any balls’ inside the NCAA . And at the same time the morons in the House simply won’t strip them of their status . Because in effect they’re actually a corporate enterprise being allowed to be ran a business that profits of the backs of the college athletes.

Which of the three judges had Clottey winning a round in the fight between he and Pacquaio on Saturday night ? Did that judge leave his seeing eye dog at home or what ?

Poor Masoli, he’s a local kid too –
I do think the suspension is a bit hefty though, an entire season?
