Dwight Jones wants to violate NCAA rules for his birthday

Posted Dec 19, 2011
Five days after his college career ends at that bowl in Shreveport, La., Dwight Jones is holding a party at 778 Sports Lounge in Burlington. The promotion offers $500 to "some lucky ladies," not to mention 24 comped admissions and 24 free shots on the hour. But what a perfect protest, intended or not. Using his own image on promotional materials encouraging people to buy overpriced tickets to a tacky event? (Deadspin)
