COLUMBIA, S.C. — Several South Carolina football players received discounted rates to stay at a local hotel.

The State newspaper reported Thursday the players were given discounts lower than those available to the public, which could be considered an extra benefit in violation of NCAA rules.

Players received a rate of $450 a month while school officials determined the cost should’ve been about $1,200 a month. The players were asked to pay the difference to the hotel. Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier told the players last week to pay their bills and find other living arrangements.

Spurrier said Wednesday South Carolina would not dispute any penalties given out by the NCAA.

Suspended tight end Weslye Saunders has talked to the NCAA about his attendance at a party in Miami this past May.

Maybe Spurrier shouldn't spend so much time worrying about UT's schedule, huh?

How many extra shifts at the local BP station are these players going to have to work to pay the back rent?

I wish my mortgage company would take 750.00 off my monthly payments. Golly!

What are they doing staying in a hotel? Did they run out of dorm rooms in Columbia?

A couple notes from Low:

"The State newspaper reported that some players had been living at the Whitney Hotel since the spring and had been allowed to stay there at a reduced rate. The State also reported that at least two players had not made any payments and owed the hotel close to $5,000. "

"Spurrier has admitted to knowing that the players were living at the Whitney Hotel. He knew it was a pretty swanky hotel, too. He lived there for a while soon after getting the South Carolina job. The place has limousine service, so it’s anything but a roadside motel."

Steve should just retire and get it over with. Carolina will always be a bottom feeder program that doesn't even qualify for has been status.
