The discussion surrounding Swain's tweet led me to believe that the statute of limitations for consequences for the university was 4 years. I have no idea if that is accurate or not.

Actually Swain is correct. The reason for the Miami investigation dating back to 2002 is:

The NCAA's four-year statute of limitations doesn't apply when there is a pattern of willful violations that continues into the past four years. In the Miami case, the NCAA could investigate back to early 2002, which is when former booster Nevin Shapiro, now serving 20 years in federal prison for his role in a $930 million Ponzi scheme, alleged in a Yahoo! Sports article this week that he began providing Hurricanes players with cash, prostitutes, cars and other gifts.

Yep, the violations he mentioned were in 2007 so they do not fall in the 4 years statute of limitations. Now if the NCAA came in and investigated and found that wherever he was getting money has continued to give money to UT athletes in the last 4 years, then it would no longer fall under the statute of limitations though

I hate when a terrible high school team plays their ****ing hearts out and come back from a 27-3 deficit and get within 4 and the refs cheat like a SOB. When asked about it by our head coach, ref said "your on the road coach".

Also, if the road team's headsets are out, shouldn't the home team be forced to turn theirs off?

I believe that's what his agent was trying to say..."oh we were well aware of the stautute...out of the goodness of our hearts, we waited until the statute of limitations had passed to release this earth-shattering revelation about tacos so that UT wouldn't be able to be held accountable".

Or something like that.

Yeah, it is still a bit concerning though that the statute of limitations stops them from punishing us at this point, but it does not stop the NCAA from snooping around to see if the source he was receiving it from had continued with other players within the last 4 years. I really want the ncaa as far away from Knoxville as possible. We've seen enough of them in recent memory

I have gone back and forth about this all day and I still can't figure out all of what I think about Foster. On the one hand, I sort of grudgingly support what he's doing. If 20 or 30 prominent NFL players all came out and said the same thing about their schools, it would burn the NCAA to the ground. Somebody's gotta be first; Foster thinks he's a philosopher so of course he's going to be first; it just sucks that it's UT. I'm just butthurt because it happens to be someone from my school that's saying it. Yes. I get that.

But holy crap, there's a suffocating amount of contemptible self-servingness about it too. "I'm tired of running from the NCAA." Really? They weren't after you anymore. And portraying inability to eat tacos at 2 AM as starvation is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. The upshot is that he's comfortable throwing his school under the bus because he likes to hear himself talk.

If only he would have said it in his pterodactyl language, nobody would have known wtf he said.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you about being split about what he said/how he said but you forgot the whole part where he said his teammates were selling drugs to make money. To me, that was the big FU to his former place of higher learning.

From the new album fav songs are "Freq Freq" and "Ain't Playing". Also think it's awesome/hilarious that on "Gotham" they actually have Idris Elba (Stringer Bell, for Wire fans) rap with them.
