This story is unbelievable. Incredible athlete recruited by the best schools in the land, headed to USC when some 15 year old girl falsely accused him of rape, sues the school for $1.5m while the guy goes to jail for 5+ years instead of USC.
She now admits it was all made up. He is now 26 and still dreams of the NFL. He must have eligibility-we should make him an offer to play for us for a year to improve his chances of getting to the NFL. I know we are low on scholarships for 2013 but it would be worth it.

Old man, false rapist, from jail Heisman!
Let's not bring up the rape thing again at CU thanks.
Pussy. Falsely convicted. CU is for Justice!Originally Posted by Daaah
Sounds like he's fishing the NFL waters. My thought was that he could still get a free education. But I wonder if he may have taken college courses, maybe even received a degree, in prison?

My assumption is that he did get some coursework done but even so he would have eligibility since he didn't play Uni. He's definitely trying to get into the NFL but I would suspect if he could get the cobwebs out and prove himself 1 year in the Pac-12 he'd improve his chances and still be young enough to have a future. I know this is not going to happen but some uni should look at making him an offer if he still has the attributes to play.
whether he played or not while doing coursework has no bearing on eligibility. The clock starts when you start full time as defined by 12 credits or more.
also a deadline in terms of years to finish.
I understand you are old, but college courses haven't been offered in prison in decades. Correspondence courses are available in some prisons, if the prisoner can pay for them. There's no way this guy took a full course load in a California prison.
Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown.
That's what I thought too but I am both old and inexperienced in the matters of prison life-thank god! I heard yesterday that he is suing the state of California but the continues to train for an opportunity in the NFL. I continue to believe that if he really had that much talent, 1-2 years with Embree and Cabral could really improve his chances. Again I realize this is not going to happen but it would be a cool thing to do.
I think it is a good thing that DBT doesn't know much about prison, it means he hasn't been in for a long time or has never been there.
Well he doesn't appear to need our scholarship anyway. He has 4 invitations to NFL training camps, oh and an offer to work for the Arizona Diamondbacks too!

Wherever he ends up I am rooting for him. Maybe we can convince Elway to give this guy a look?
WOW, I hope the girl does 10 years to make up for it.
Just stay out of my way... or you'll pay! LISTEN to what I say!
Crazy! Thats where I got my degree.
There was a doctor at Denver Presbyterian who had been convicted of murdering his parents when he was 15. He got his medical degree while in prison. The Denver Post did a story on him a while back. But maybe he was in juvy jail. Hey, They ought to allow prisoners to earn a damned college degree!
Most need to start by getting their GED first.

Didn't Ward Churchill get his degree while in prison?
