Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted January 30 USC for 1 guy being paid by a 3rd party and with the HC absolved almost received the Death Penalty from the NCAA. Tennessee ran a widespread pay-for-play program with the HC the focal point of the scam and paid $8M to kind of 'Get Out of Jail' for 'free.' Ohio State went undefeated and missed a bowl game because players traded gear for tattoos. UNC ran a decades-long academic scam that benefited its athletes but got off the hook because 'regular students' were also cheating. It's nice to play your ball in Dixie.

Just Ducky No. 5 Share Posted January 30 I think back to what the NCAA did to Reggie Busch. It doesn’t negate the fact that he was the best college football player then and maybe ever. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroBurst61 No. 7 Share Posted January 31 I know it's niave and a minority position, but the two sayings/mantras that I Absolutely have despised most of my life: "If you ain't cheatin, you ain't tryin'." "It's just business." Normalizes leaning into our most negative basal instincts and, for me, is not how you "evolve" into a better person/species. Ok. (Stepping off of my high horse).
