I remember back in June when Charles Robinson said that he had a level 10 story that would shake college athletics to the core. Well, after reading the list of offenses, I'm not particularly moved or surprised by most of what I read. The only allegation that disturbs me is the one about setting bounties for certain players like Tebow or Rix. That is intolerable, and the one allegation that the NCAA needs to focus more on than any other. That is the one thing that is really messed up, and worthy of death penalty. Regardless of it being in the realm of control of the school, it can't be allowed to happen. It just can't.
The rest of it, well... I've seen enough of money, sex, and drug allegations at other schools to really not raise an eyebrow at it. Sadly, this is what I've come to expect from big time college athletics. I mean, ööööin Paul Dee was waving a finger at USC last year all after presiding over this bs. This isn't a mess created by the schools... it's been created by the NCAA and what it has allowed to happen. When everyone knows the inmates are running the prison, what is there to be surprised about?
Edit: Forgot to mention... this does nothing but help Georgia Tech. For the next 5 years at minimum, assuming everyone stays where they are, VT and us are going to be the only 2 teams capable of winning the Coastal. öööö the NCAA for taking the 2009 title away from us... we'll just go out and win some more.
