Frankly, I think the man just had a little too much Guinness, dehydrated and it was as simple as that. I wish him a speedy recovery.

I hope Mr. Jones fully recovers and is able to return to work soon. After reading the comments made by PhlutiePhan, I have got to say how absolutely stupid they are. With no knowledge of what Mr. Jones’ responsibilities are, this idiot assumes that “his entire job is to work with black players.” How stupid can one person be? By the way, do you know what ASSUMES really means? It means there’s an ASS between U and ME.
You should get your story straight before making any comments. Enes Kanter was found to have “personally” received $33,000 from Fenerbachce Ulker – a Turkish professional basketball team. The NCAA then made Kanter permanently ineligible to play college basketball. As for Cam Newton, it was his father and not Cam that was found to have asked for money for him to play at a certain school. Because an FBI, Auburn, and NCAA investigation could find nothing to indicate Cam had done anything wrong, he was not charged. When Newton went from junior college back to a Div. I school, almost every major school, including OU, Texas, Auburn, and even Florida wanted him. Why is it then that only one school complained that his father wanted money? All the schools were investigated and not one said they were contacted by Cam or his father. That’s why he was cleared. Cam has gone on to the NFL, but you seem to have forgotten that Kantor went on to the NBA, so he did not do that bad after all, right? You also speculated that Obama had something to do with Newton not getting nailed. Can you really be that stupid? I hate Obama as much as anyone, but I don’t think even he would try something like that.

Sorry to hear about the illness of Ernest Jones. I wish him a speedy recovery. Nevertheless, it is obvious that his entire job is to work with the black players. This is a sad commentary on the state of college football. A high percentage of black players are definitely not college material. If Notre Dame has to use "smoke and mirrors", the known cheaters in college football "steal the NCAA blind" and the NCAA knows it. The Cam Newton saga with Auburn and the refusal of the NCAA to get involved is a major scandal. Enes Kanter from Turkey and Kentucky had relatives do the same thing as Newton. Kanter was nailed and Newton went on the the NFL to make millions Probably with Obama's influence.
