Really a surprising story, IMO. Everything from what I've heard from people and friends who wrestled against him made it seem like he's a really good person. Must have just got in with the wrong crowd at WVU.

Damn from what I heard Motown he was coming along and could possibly make some noise.

What goes through a persons head in that situation? Did he really think he would get away with it. What an idiot.

He got arrested again for another robbery. I wonder if someone will pay 250k for him to get out, on top of the 25k they already paid.

One of my Big Red buddies told me that Branko is a "debt collector" of sorts. Somebody is owed money and Branko is the guy who goes to collect.

What kind of stats in NCAA 12 does a loan shark's hired muscle get?

100 in confinement and 0 in intelligence.

The key stat will be if his Toughness is above 85. Because if it isn't, he'll probably have a high Prison Bitch rating.

Debt collector?? No just a thug and a thief! Had to pay someone to take his ACT's. Yes it is common knowledge with alot of people in the valley. Someone that pays should not brag to everyone.

Well there is a lot of hearsay about, but from a very reliable source, there was a lot of "fog of war" when it came to Branko Busick's time at Big Red. It was told to me by someone who knows him very well that he talked a lot about his grades to people until he was told to shut up if he ever wanted to play college football. It was said that his initial ACT score was a 12. Somehow, someway, that number jumped to a 27. Was also informed he failed more than one class at Big Red, but his grades were good enough for honors... The Busick's did have a Steubenville address in the Brady Estates section of town, but never used the residence. Another person I know that can see deep within the Big Red program also stated that the program bailed him out of quite a few "situations" while he was in high school...

Basically the story is this, Big Red wanted him and they got him based on the fact they would provide him with the opportunity to play football at the next level for a D1 school. Magically he became an honor student and roll model that WVU was forced to appoint him a teammate role model as soon as he arrived.

I am not surprised, I am not shocked, I am shaking my head. The recruitment is always on here, its about the school name and not the individual student. Win at all cost... Plain and simple.

I've heard similar stories SOS. I just saw where they arrested a second suspect.

This is a pretty major indictment of the Steubenville program on your part.

It's more of an indictment of the community who doesn't care that 1/2 the team will end up on the hilltops dealing drugs and shooting anyone in sight after high school as long as those individuals scored some TDs for 4 years of their young lives.
