I have been wondering about the braces on his teeth. Those things are not cheap. Well maybe for him.

I don`t think it`ll get any traction

I don`t think it`ll get any traction

Just the discounts on the website services, which were given due to his future earning potential, were worth in the range of $20K from what I read.

In general, I think it's laughable that a guy worth well north of $20K to the school where he plays would potentially have to sit out for receiving $20K worth of benefits, but in comparison, Tunsil's list of benefits were somewhere short of $10K in total, and he sat 7 games.

Until I see Fournette sit a game, I won't believe he will. Personally, I don't think he should have to sit at all, but the NCAA's rules are in place to ensure guys like him have a cap on how much they can capitalize on their talents.

With you Bruisy, let him play against Arky but suspend him 1 game...the next one...against Ole Miss.

Also the braces thing. Any of you guys watch the 30 for 30 on Ben Johnson, Carl Lewis, and anabolic steroids? Something in that show about users foreheads getting larger and something with the hormones making their teeth start to crowd up thus the need for braces.

Just giving Bruisy some rumor about their REAL rival to use on Nafoom.com

Big time players always go under the microscope when they are a threat to Bama! Cam, Manziel, Tunsil, etc.

Story will disappear now that he's no longer a threat to them

Sure, but the ones that are traceable are the only ones that matter for punishments.

I can tell you this. There isn't a player that's getting more benefits under the table than he's actually worth to the school he's attending. That's why I don't have a problem with it. The other reason I don't have a problem with it is that players are getting those benefits at every school, so I don't see it as an advantage for one school over another.

While I do enjoy throwing stones I do have a tiny bit of insight on affordability of braces for Fournette. My best friend, and an avid LSU fan was a co-worker with Lory Fournette for several years (Leonard's mom) and she makes decent enough money to be able to afford braces. Just based on my buddy and the fact they were coworkers I'm guessing she at least makes 60's. After the MSU-LSU game this year he introduced me to her as she waited for the LSU players to come out to the bus. She seemed like a nice football mom and was very cordial to me.
