    Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant received about $200,000 in jewelry, on credit, while playing at Oklahoma State University, according to court documents. If true, that could be a violation of NCAA amateurism rules, said Kevin Fite, associate athletic director for compliance at OSU. Fite said the school is notifying the NCAA about the matter. “Receiving benefits or loans based on potential earnings is a violation,â€￾ Fite said. “We’re going to look at it, and any information we need to provide to the NCAA, we will.â€￾ Altogether, Bryant owes more than $800,000 for jewelry and sports tickets, according to two lawsuits filed in Dallas and Tarrant counties. Payment for the items he received while he was still eligible at OSU was linked, in part, to his signing “his first Marketing or Sports Contract,â€￾ according to copies of the credit purchase agreements included in court filings. Past due payments accrue at 25 percent annual interest.

    If he got these while suspended does it even matter i dont see how Oklahoma state gets penalized if hes suspended his entire season and takes gifts or loans since he wasnt coming back to play football again anyway.

    not trying to justify anything......just boggles my mind all high horses people ride around in.

    there are far worst players in the NFL past ans present who have committed more heinous crimes and have not gotten this much flak

    OSU isn't going to get in hot water because of this unless it's proved the school coaches and admin knew about it.

    The only thing people should be upset about is the STOLEN jewelry. Gifts, pants, WHO GIVES A FREAK

    At least all the other college athletes who accept loans and jewelry are apparently smart enough to REPAY THEIR FREAKING BILLS in a timely fashion to avoid being publicly outed and ashamed.

    I agree it's stupid, he's not the only one to do it though, and he should have to pay back the loans immedietly or go to jail. I don't dispute taht. I dispute people ripping on Dez for EVERYTHING he does though, its stupid.
