It's about recruiting, not performance on the field. Otherwise there'd be no problem with what SMU did and we could get our Final Four banners back. Bout half an hour per session if the only thing you counted was the 13 weeks of the regular season, but most of the 65 hours were actually...

No, it happens already, but the fact that no booster money is allowed does keep some of it away. If a way to funnel money from boosters to players were legalized, you can bet a whole lot more of it would show up. Right....I should've clarified that I meant no legal way for players to get money...

65 hours in two years. Average of five minutes a day. Sooooooooo much cheating. Y'know....when you're being sarcastic like that but you include the line about "inducing more applicants," I think you're missing the irony. Law firm A: We offer benefits A,B, and C and a salary of X. Law firm...

Thanks. I'm just gonna shuffle on over to mamby-pamby land where maybe I can find some self-confidence for me :wink2:

I have some sympathy for that argument but the obvious problem is that it surely leads to someone selling their used toilet paper for $10,000 (or something less extreme but you get the point) because boosters are using purchases like that as a cover for golden handshakes. Right now there's no...

Sorry about that. Combativeness....can sometimes be my default attitude/assumed attitude of others.

You're right: if he discloses, there's no vacating wins because the players serve their penalties and the ineligibility is wiped clean. They don't vacate as punishment for nondisclosure, the punishment for nondisclosure is whatever scholarship and/or postseason bans are handed out. If a...

Yeah, I've noticed a few people saying as such, thanks. That being the likely case, why didn't that happen in the first place? When the NCAA vacates games, they don't say "well they would've only been suspended for five games, so that's all we'll vacate." They sweep it all clean. Ask Bobby...

The mods lump them all into one or two here. They don't do that elsewhere. Regardless, if you're trying to get me to feel shame about my own (or my own fanbase's) supposed obsession with OSU, I direct you to the part of the original thread that pointed out that it's a rivalry and it's to be...

I don't see the link. Being tax-exempt derives from being a nonprofit organization, not from not having people on the payroll, which obviously they do. Since they already pay professors, janitors, and a whole bunch of other people, what about paying athletes would tip the balance? I'm NOT in...

Rebuttal: That the thread was still started by an OSU fan.

This thread is 59 pages long. Just sayin'. And we don't think MSU is obsessed with is, we know they are. Anyway, it's a rivalry. Shouldn't there be some degree of obsession?

I say this knowing full well the extreme risk of hijacking the thread to kingdom come in the wrong direction, but.... ....if you want someone to tap into the minds of Michigan fans, Captain Planet ain't your guy. I'll do him lots better. Your counter there used to be an honest-to-god source...

In our case I think the paper was the mole. Not that there weren't people ready and willing to grease the skids when asked.

I ain't saying we treated RR very well. But leaking incriminating stories to the newspaper about the incoming head coach and then watching the shitstorm unfold and result in your own firing isn't a Michigan thing either.
