Let me get this straight, they had 40K in mink coats, over 3k in Throwback jersey yet their computer equipment amongst the four of them was only $1,300. Not a lot of school work going on in the apartment I guess.

Custom made t-shirts = 4K?????

That's a helluva lot of airbrush!

Glad when I was playing I always kept my MINKS at my moms!

How did these kids amass $66000?
We gotta get with BTJ about kids wearing mink coats.

university of missouri is wondering how this memphis boosters got off so cheap.

 

[ELVIS]

this has been revisited, and the merchandise has been revalued at about a tenth of the original amount. still total bs. you could rob my entire house and not get 66,000. i truly believe some of the players are dirty. clyde wade was charged with cc fraud and theft last year - it just didn't stick. my real problem is that if memphis paying players then why aren't we a much better team ? i mean sh1t - why pay a bunch of guys that are mediocre at best...... :moon:
