Good Lord, are you really denying this stuff happens?  How the hell do you think it is so easy for kids to get adderral legitimately....or hey....heard of the opioid crisis?  Plenty of doctors out there that will do lots of things for people at the right price.


No sh*t.

Show me a case where someone was granted a transfer waiver based on a false doctors report. Just one.

This is a classic case of you globalizing something that hasn’t shown to be a problem. At all. Just because you don’t like the idea of granting waivers.

Just ridiculous.

I doubt you are going to find a published example.  I also have no doubt that it has happened in the past.  You can't win by calling him out, because he doesn't care.  He is getting the attention he craves.

As someone that works with students daily, you are wrong.

They all know lists of doctors that are willing to do it provided you pay in cash. For ACT/SAT/MCAT/LSAT, regular exams/courses, to get out of class requirements, etc.

But like I said, finding an example specific to what Chicos was claiming is largely impossible. But I guarantee you if you wanted to go down that route you wouldn't have a problem finding the doctor, and if you go around any college campus and ask kids about shady doctors that would do so, they will refer you to one.

Nobody here is denying that there aren't some shady doctors that won't do unethical/illegal things for a buck.

But that is not what was being discussed here. Cheeks specifically said he would be "happy to provide many links to doctors caught" writing scripts or doing other illegal/unethical things to help a kid get an NCAA transfer waiver. The discussion was never about the existence of unethical doctors until you rushed in to Cheeks' aid and teleported the goalposts to a different area code.

And I guarantee you're wrong (I mean, as long as we're tossing around worthless guarantees).

p.s. Here we are 2+ days later and Cheeks has yet to provide any of those many links he promised.

I said I can happily provide links to doctors writing illegal scripts...and fraud, etc.  show me where I said specifically about doctors and student athletes.  Talk about moving the goalposts...classic.  Go to the original post where I said it...come on Chuckles, this is bad even for you.

Until a year ago I could never find any celebrities paying huge sums of money so that their kids were on rowing teams to get into college....therefore it never happened, right?  LOL

My point was then and now, depression is one area that is more easily “misdiagnosed” and without too much effort could be used by finding the right doctor to do so.  The amount of fraud we have by people in all walks of life is insane, why would this be any different?

You said you would provide a number of articles showing proof of these college athletes getting doctors to lie about their health to give them immediate eligibility.  Now you're claiming that because you don't have the articles that you promised to prove it it happens anyway?

Nice.

One link about a doctor providing a false report to ensure that a college athlete has immediate eligibility, hoopaloop.

Provide it, and I'll tip my hat to you. Don't, and all you are doing is talkin' out your bunghole as usual.

And a legit link about a legit case of it ... not like the pretend poll you tried to pass off as "proof" that most Americans are against athletes profiting off their NIL when the exact opposite is true (and decisively so).

I can absolutely tell you of cases where the ncaa is highly skeptical of the reasons...talk to the ncaa.  They know the sh*t people pull all the time in every walk of life and this is no different.

I said I would provide a number of articles about doctor shopping, which I did.  But sure, let's be naive and say it never happens with college athletes.  Hilarious.

Adderall isn’t an opioid.

Who said it is?  I didn’t.  There's a reason I said "OR HEY" in my sentence...new idea, not linking Adderall with opioids, but showing another example of prescriptions being given out like candy by doctors. My point is you can doctor shop for adderall like crazy and students do it.  The best one is claiming ADHD.

Has an NCAA athlete ever been granted a transfer waiver because of ADHD?

I have no idea...did I say that?  Nope.  I said doctor shopping goes on in this country all the time.  Whether it is for opioids, or Adderall, or Viagra.  Whether it is firemen or police officers in California, New York, etc to get extra disability (tons of articles on this), whether it is Joe blow or Sally blow...people scam the system....for insurance, for workman's comp, for "slipping" on the floor, or pretending to be mugged going to Subway in Chicago at 2:00am...whatever...people do this.  ALL THE TIME.  This is why companies have fraud units.  This is why the gov't does.  This is why the NCAA has processes to make sure this crap isn't happening...because it is.

Harbaugh identified it last year saying forcing justification of transfers will cause players to make up fake reasons to transfer, be it medical or otherwise.    He thinks kids should be able to transfer once, of course, anyone at the highest echelon of schools wants this, because other schools become their feeder / minor leagues, but he is exactly right that they will fake reasons when justification is needed.  It's what humans do all the time.

Harbaugh backs your unproveable doctor-shopping theory = Harbaugh good.

Harbaugh goes against you wanting to punish athletes who transfer = Harbaugh bad.

If there are no known cases of a kid getting a transfer waiver over ADHD (legit or not) then why are you bringing up ADHD in a discussion about transfer waivers?

I think everyone would agree that human nature is such that whatever the system SOME people will try to game it. And some will succeed. I'm all for trying to catch the "abusers" but why punish those with legitimate claims because of the bad guys? Some people abuse alcohol. Should it be banned for all? You're on a legitimately slippery slope with your argument.

(It's a rhetorical question, btw. We all know why.)

It was an example of how easy it is to doctor shop for prescription drugs....very simple, not sure why you missed it.  I could use any number of other examples, that's the one I chose.  Just as it would not be hard to find a mental health professional to say, "yup, you are suffering from _____ and here's your note so you can transfer".  It's exactly why Harbaugh and others brought it up.  Already happening, and the NCAA is now put into a position of questioning one doctor vs another.  Of course, this is exactly what the anti-NCAA folks want anyway...that way they can say the NCAA shouldn't be involved in these decisions at all....LET EVERYONE TRANSFER WHENEVER.  This is right out of the playbook and the end game here.  Sultan, Rico and others can have a celebration as it totally annihilates lower and mid level schools, and the haves become even more of the beneficiaries. 

CUE the "most kids transfer down" stats....which of course almost no one gives a damn about.  It's the raiding of talent from other schools to move up that destroys the system.  But hey...some of you all love that stuff.

I've had to give multiple depositions over the years, but not on medical. 


Let me ask you, why are so many mental health care cases misdiagnosed?  Could it be because that discipline is not an exact science?  It is based on opinion and two highly qualified mental health care professionals can have different viewpoints about the same case?  Thus, if you agree with this statement (and the literature supports how often people are misdiagnosed) how hard would it be for someone to visit multiple doctors until they get the diagnosis they want, especially when it is largely opinion based?  It's not binary where you have cancer or you don't.  Mental health diagnosis are nto always that clear cut.

Look how often ADHD is misdiagnosed instead of depression as just one example. Anxiety, bipolar, OCD...misdiagnosed per the literature at a pretty good clip.

People doctor shop so they can pretend to be mugged going to the subway at 2:00 AM? What?

I think we have our own doctor shopper on MUScoop!

Anyways, I’ll take those multiple articles on doctors making up diagnoses or writing unnecessary prescriptions to get a transfer waiver anytime now. M
