...and by the way, I have said on here before that I beleive this is on the up-and-up based on my military experience.

But, on the Facebook page from the team, the instruction say to mail any items directly to the unit (and the address is provided), but ensure that you tell them it's from the Broward program. Since, K-State and Texas Tech have not been implicated in this story, one can assume that they followed those instructions and mailed their items to the address provided. I'm not an NCAA rules expert, but I don't think that would be a violation. However, the Dukes mailed their stuff to the coach instead, and that is a violation.

I'm guessing the reason RE didn't know to send directly to the troops is because of his rule about no Facebook pages...(lol, I kid, I kid!). But seriously, I think that may be the distinction between what Duquesne did and what the other two schools did.

Good point Slim. Doubtful he would comment publicly to clarify this, because it's in the hands of the NCAA, but it's more likely a case of brain flatulence than anything else. PS, there's a "fan" page for Ron that someone started on Facebook. (NT) -- El Duque, Tuesday, November 23, 11:15:06am
Still troublesome that RE did not pay the kid until this whole story blew up. Is he that cheap or did he simply forget? Is this kid exaggerating or is this reported incorrectly. I know its a small thing but for some reason this bugs me. (NT) -- Greg, Tuesday, November 23, 06:09:59pm
