Yahoo claiming Bray and Couch (among others) took cash? (Merged)

[cbbowlingmd]

What's worse is we cheated and still lost...

I hope you aren't being serious. Please explain how two players getting a few hundred dollars gives us an advantage.

Among the records authenticated by Yahoo Sports, in chronological order:

• A receipt dated May 17, 2012, showing Davis sent $400 to Couch via Western Union from Bruno's Food & Pharmacy in Tuscaloosa. The receipt noted that the cash was picked up at a location in Tennessee. Western Union requires a valid photo ID in the name of the individual receiving the transfer.

• A receipt dated June 1, 2012, showing Davis sent $200 to Bray via Western Union from Bruno's Food & Pharmacy in Tuscaloosa. The receipt noted that the cash was picked up at a location in Tennessee.

• A receipt dated June 7, 2012, showing Davis sent $500 to Couch via Western Union from Bruno's Food & Pharmacy in Tuscaloosa. The receipt noted that the cash was picked up at a location in Tennessee.

• A receipt dated July 1, 2012, showing Davis sent $700 to Matthew Schroeder via Western Union from Bruno's Food & Pharmacy in Tuscaloosa. The transaction receipt for Schroeder was coupled with a transfer form listing "Tyler Bray" in the recipient field. However, Bray's name was crossed out and replaced with Schroeder.


After reviewing Bray's Twitter account, Yahoo Sports found that Bray had interacted with a Matthew Schroeder consistently dating back to 2011, referring to Schroeder as being part of "the crew." Bray also made references about trips to the mall with Schroeder, as well as "burger night" at a Knoxville restaurant, and an accident with a deer that included Bray, Schroeder and two others.

When contacted by Yahoo Sports, Schroeder affirmed that Bray was a friend and initially agreed to an interview. When informed the story was about Bray's involvement with Davis, Schroeder said he didn't know who Davis was. When asked why his name appeared as a recipient on a $700 Western Union transaction from Davis that also listed Bray, Schroeder replied: "Uh, man, I have no comment on that." Schroeder then declined to continue the interview.

• A receipt dated Aug. 20, 2012, showing Davis sent $200 to Couch via Western Union from Bruno's Food & Pharmacy in Tuscaloosa. The receipt noted that the cash was picked up at a location in Tennessee.

• A receipt dated Nov. 10, 2012, showing Davis sent $250 to Couch via Western Union from Bruno's Food & Pharmacy in Tuscaloosa. The receipt noted that the cash was picked up at a location in Tennessee.

Bama fan ratted us out.:realmad:

The NCAA is just going to have to understand that Bray needed some money to take midfielder's girlfriend out

Winner

 

[bigorange]

I remember when news outlets used to report the news, now they're all out to create news.

 

[Volfan76]

Overpaid Bray IMO.

 

[Mr_Henley]

No big deal. The NCAA does not care. Just hire a lawyer and they get scared. Just lie and they go away. If you tell the truth, they try to put you on the death penalty.

Nothing to see, moving along,

Except that Cam Newton and Manziel's camp both blatantly admit to taking their respective amounts of cash and.... Nothing happens.

 

[Vol4life25]

Hope they don't take our 6-7, 5-7, and 5-7 seasons off the record as a punishment

So you want 16 of our wins wiped away from the books? Ok......and the other teams would keep their wins vs us anyways.

 

[rjd970]

Bama was caught too. Hopefully we can ride their coattails when the NCAA gives them the standard Bama pass.

[VolsNSkinsFan]

$200 via western union? just mail 2 $100 bills

 

[FalcoVol]

Overpaid Bray IMO.

Hope Berry spears his a**.

Needed money to pay for hitting someones car with golf balls and beer bottles

 

[oldsmokey67]

that must have been one desperate agent to give bray money.now couch should get the boot if true.

 

[leffie]

to bad they weren't paid for autographs, then it wouldn't be a big deal

I am not concerned about wins from prior years - I am concerned about the two that we have thus far this year. We need those!!!

 

[checkerboards09]

Dooley cheated and he lost?

Well yeah. Dooley couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.

 

[vol2013]

to bad they weren't paid for autographs, then it wouldn't be a big deal

Big difference here is that if the article is correct there is a paper trail whereas there does not appear to be one in the Manziel case

 

[GAVol]

Think about how ridiculous the environment is when $200 is enough.

 

[BenGrimm]

Guess we will be vacating the Dooley era. Oh well.

Better pray that these are one shot, isolated instances initiated by a rogue agent.

 

[namasteVOLfans]

why would we pay Bray? it wasnt like he was a 5-star recruit coming out or anything

 

[GoBigOrange33]

Bama fan ratted us out.:realmad:

They ratted out thier own as well.

If Bama loses those titles, that Bama fan will end up in a ditch somewhere!

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

we didnt pay him, a loser agent did

 

[GAVol]

Looks to me like they were just dopey enough to put stuff in writing and got caught.

Read the article. There's no "we" to this.
