The Rosie and Swanigan relationship and Swanigan hasn't been cleared to play per Bleacher Report.
Apparently the NCAA is investigating
- Thread starter woggy718
- Start date
If Painter "cheats" to get recruits, then he is the worst cheater in college bball...
Don't blame the messenger. Jason King is taking Swanigan's side in this.

I heard that Rosie gave Porter Roberts mom a ride to Ft. Wayne to buy Purdue bumper stickers for Jamal Davis to give to Lurher Clay to sell so he can pay off his loan.
Would not be surprised if Izzo is crying to the NCAA about it in the same way he cried to the Big Ten about what the Paint Crew might be planning to do before Dawson's first game at Mackey.
Lol do you try to come up with the most off the wall comments or does it just come natural?
I doubt there's anything to worry about unless Barnes has paid for some bumper stickers through the university.
Didn't this all happen in the movie Blindside? I smell a sequel.
At this point it is safe to say I hate MSU 100 times more than IU. I'll even cheer for chappy to beat the whiner this season...
I hope biggie takes it a bit personally and goes off on them.
If Skal can get cleared after playing his senior year at an academy that didn't exist at this time last year, I wouldn't think Swanigan should have any issues. Unless, as previous posters mentioned, his handler bought any bumper stickers.
So this is also Izzo's fault? You Purdue fans are a paranoid little fan base. No wonder your small school does not matter in either basketball or football. Enjoy this minor blip up this season before returning to irrelevance.
Interesting. Your first message on any of these boards for this ID, and you waste it posting this? Wow! Just wow! Long way to go to deliver this cryptic message. I just wish I could understand your concern.
You seem to exhibit an unhealthy need to be vindicated as a human being by ensuring your baskball team has the unblemished respect you think it deserves. Do you often prowl other schools message boards looking for any slight or insult to MSU? Please, get a life, because you are going to be disappointed with MSU as a surrogate.

I think what he was saying is that he is used to being investigated for wrongdoings and that we should get thicker skin.Interesting.

He committed to Purdue in May. NCAA has had 5 freaking months to "look into" this! And Barnes and Painter have been completely above board the entire time. As far as I understand, there is not one single new piece of information to consider. So what can possibly be the NCAA's excuse for dragging their feet on this and causing undue stress and uncertainty to the young man's life? This is completely absurd and makes the NCAA look incompetent.
The other thing that doesn't make sense is the timing. How can a D1 athlete commit to a school in the spring, enroll, go on athletic scholarship, attend classes in the fall, and still not be cleared to play? This is akin to booking an airline ticket, checking in, boarding the plane, and then TSA asks to see your passport.

Because it is the NCAA. When have they EVER done anything that would allow things to just go smoothly? Like others have mentioned, the NCAA is a joke because of their want to simply sweep the UNC situation under the rug, even though that constitutes a death penalty type of punishment.
You are going to essentially gives PSU the death penalty for their football program and then go back on it...but when there is clear evidence of academic fraud (you know, the thing the NCAA is supposed to really be looking at) at UNC, they turn a blind eye. If it was PSU in the late 80's and early 90's when they were a powerhouse, nothing would have been done...but PSU hadn't been real powerful for about a decade and cutting their program wouldn't have a huge effect on money (and in fact, it probably made them tons of money based on the JoePa name alone).
Filed the paperwork in 2011....there is a good post started from pharoutengineer on this. I bumped it for you, Da Bull.
Granted, it involves a Purdue recruit, but it's a very good read if you can get past the "rivalry" issues.
