I think Arkansas wins the SEC this year. Still not sure who I like to win it all.

 

Lamar Miller, Sean Spence, and the two safety positions for Miami should be fun to watch this year. Not expecting huge things out of Golden in his first year but should get us to a bowl game.

 

The countdown to Mike Locksley's firing starts... NOW! At least we have the best TE in college football(Lucas Reed). If he actually had a QB to throw him the ball his stats would be off the charts.

The Seminoles had the most dominating recruiting class seen in a while. If they don't win the ACC Championship this year they suck, all time choke.

 

FAU - UF isn't very notable. Anything less than a 20 point win will be very disappointing.

Same goes for FSU - LA Monroe except a Seminoles loss would be extremely hilarious.

 

"Weis era" offense for the win.

 

Expect Driskel in Week 3 after Brantley has thrown 4 interceptions through his first 2 games.

If their QB hadn't thrown 5 INT's in the Outback bowl they would have beat my Gators, their WR's look decent.

Wouldn't they have to prove some sort of institutional fault? I mean, a list that large lends itself to the idea that there was just general negligence/head in the sand kind of stuff going on. But I would imagine they would still have to prove that school/team leadership was either involved or (knowingly) let it happen.

 

Ugh.

NCAA scholarship rules are like tax code (except the people who made the NCAA scholarship rules fully understand them). Every school has a compliance officer because the rules are so complicated. I think it never occurred to(some of them at least) that they were violating scholarship rules.

RIP University of Miami football program. 1926-2011. sucks to suck. I can't help but smile. This is a glorious day!

 

 

 

LOL this has been said before.

 

You're kidding yourself if you think whatever happened "before" is anything like what's going on right now. It's going to be awfully hard for Miami to fully recover from something like this, and if they ever do it is going to be several years down the road. It could take decades of rebuilding.

 

Look at what happened to SMU in the 80s. They were given the so called "death penalty" by the NCAA and were forced to cancel 2 seasons and lost 55 scholarships over the course of four years. A once promising program only had one winning season in the next 20 years and didn't get to a bowl game until 2009.

 

And what went on at SMU doesn't even compare to what went on at UM. The NCAA is going to throw the book at them.

You're kidding yourself if you think this kind of stuff isn't going on at FSU and other top schools. It's not a good situation, and it obviously sucks that we got caught, but you might not want to be so high and mighty.

Well, there's a picture with Donna Shalala holding a check from the guy, so they knew who he was.

 

 

the fact that they knew he was a booster (even a douche booster for that matter) doesn't mean they knew what was going on though. I mean they very well may have, but still...

 

 

 

 

LeBatard's show today should be great.

I wouldn't count on it. Tallahassee doesn't even have strip clubs.
