Rose made it clear that Martin did things for kids throughout the community and not just players that went to a particular school or even were college players. And reporter Mitch Album (sp?) that was close to the situation claimed that if Webber was getting money while at Michigan, he sure was hiding it very well with the car he drove and the clothes he had on his back or the place he lived. So the issues do not seem cut and dry to those that witnessed the events. Album's assertion is that Weber left school after his sophomore year because he was not getting and benefit to what he and his teammates were bringing to the school and Nike specifically.

Jalen Rose is a trusted source? Jalen Rose? THE Jalen Rose?
Bu-wa-ha-ha-ha.....
Again, are you freaking serious? By his
own admission, Webber started taking money when he was in
junior high school. The MHSAA wanted to expunge all his high school records too, but Webber's high school refused to do it and the MHSAA didn't have the power to do it themselves.
Soooooo, Webber admitted himself that he took money but others think he was lying. Got it.
Webber was charged with lying to a Grand Jury. He pleaded guilty and was fined $100,000. Yup, he pled "guilty". Whatinthehell is more convincing than pleading guilty?
Maybe you should check some facts, Jeff, before getting on your high horse. Google is your friend.
