Tony Bland Pleads Not Guilty

Tony Bland pleaded not guilty in New York today to four charges from the FBI investigation into alleged bribes he took for an aspiring sports agent and financial advisor.

By the way, USC has not announced what recruits it signed to letters of intent. USC usually waits longer than other schools. But this is worth keeping an eye on to see if USC signs all three of its verbal commits. Remember, the federal charges said two players’ families received money and only De’Anthony Melton has been suspended.

  1. We’ll see how this all plays out once his lawyers get to their business, which is muddying everything up

  2. Let me see…”Your honor, I was set up…I was not caught red handed it was more like vermillion fingered.” I thought it was a sting operation, meaning they didn’t charge him until he actually was caught in the act.

  3. Suspended? “As a precaution, De’Anthony Melton is being held out due to a potential issue regarding eligibility,” the school said in a statement.

  4. Fire his a#s. To make $300 grand per year and to screw that up is stupid. Horrible choice.

  5. HAWR-HAWR!! the got him on TAPE, man!!!!

    interesting he has not flipped yet….but the game is still young….

  6. “Not guilty?”– Fire those lawyers!

    Oh, sorry, that’s what criminal lawyers do. They are the primary reason lawyers have a black eye in the estimation of the public.

  7. Must be the same firm that advised Garrett to ignore and stonewall the NCAA.
    Deny, deny, deny.

  8. ✌Kevin Porter signed already…….
    ✌Elijah Weaver has already signed……
    Cherry should be soon……
    But all three of our recruits have signed financial aid paperwork from what I hear.

    This class will be very good. And SC is trying to bring in one more player. 5-Star PF Emmit Williams is still being recruited by Enfield.

  9. IT would be interesting to see what the lawyers comments are…Tapes seem to mean little these days to juries and voters and so called citizens…DC is erecting a statue of former mayor Marion Barry….in DC…fbi has zero credibility anymore,it is as corrupt as law enforcement gets thanks to comey and meuller…they are reduced to basketball shenanigans,forget the billions in corruption ,fraud of citizen taxpayers in DC….my guess charges are dismissed for lack of intent to commit any real crime.
