• Well, we knew it was "improper," but not like that. Adding to the lamest string of "improper benefits" on record, the NCAA revealed Wednesday the shocking excess that led to the suspension of Boise State receiver Geraldo Boldewijn: Use of a 1990 Toyota Camry with 177,000 miles on it, along with driver's insurance coverage. Total value? $700, the amount Boldewijn was forced to pay to charity to restore his eligibility, which presumably included the pine air freshener hanging from the rearview window. Speaking from personal experience as someone who once drove a 1990 Toyota Camry with an odometer topping 100,000 in high school and college, I say with great confidence that Geraldo is the charity.
Boldewijn will be back Friday night against Fresno State after sitting out the Broncos' first four games, along with senior safety (and fellow Dutchman) Cedric Febis, who was forced to donate a whopping $20 to charity as penance for unspecified recruiting violations and "impermissible transportation." A third Netherlands native, spectacularly named defensive lineman Rocky Tjong-A-Tjoe, remains in limbo for unknown reasons. All violations are classified as "isolated and inadvertent" and almost certainly will not lead to any further penalties. [Idaho Statesman]
