EDSBS actually linked to this story first and actually quoted the same quote, so hat tip to them: http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday....
To sum us this story, http://www.thestate.com/426/story/94... there is a company, burnLounge, that is actually a pyramid scheme that many a college football player and coach has become involved in.
What caught Orson's eye was this quote from Spurrier Jr. quoting Stoops:
"When Bob Stoops got me, he said, ‘I’ve spoken to a lawyer about this. I’ve spoken to my agent. I’ve spoken to some people to find out if this is a legitimate thing. And everything they told me, this is a legitimate (business). Put your name on it and go do it,’" said Spurrier Jr., a member of Stoops’ Sooners staff from 1999 to 2001
Orson's take on this is that Stoops is just an idiot who thought this was a good business venture, but I beg to differ.
We all know that Stoops is an evil genius, and this is just more proof. He knew it was a pyramid scheme all along, and was just abusing his position of influence over an old employee to rope in more people below him and bring in the cash.
Just another example of Stoops flat out lying and cheating to get what he wants.

That's funny...
considering Stoops' wife is supposedly one of the biggest Mary Kaye Cosmetics (the ultimate pyramid scheme) pushers in the state. Afterall, what wasteland woman wouldn't want to buy her Bass Boat Red lipstick from Mrs. Bob Stoops.
But don't worry, Miss Oklahoma says it's all a big misunderstanding because Bob's not involved in a pyramid scheme, he's involved in a triangle scheme.

that may be
but do you have quotes of him lying to his ex-employees just to swindle them out of their money?

No, and you don't either
You have him saying that his lawyers, agent, and advisors all told him that it was a legit deal.
Sure, it turned out to be a bad investment but there were several high profile coaches and athletes who fell for it. Not just Stoops.

That may be true
But because it is Stoops, we reserve the right to bash him. ;)

LOL
There's a response I can respect and accept! That's great honesty right there.

Stoop's Sooner Crony "Yes Men" checked
off on the deal just like Skilling & Lay's accountants & lawyers kept checking off on Enron's fraudulent accounting.
