I guess that kind of thing is a little bit shady, but I’m not surprised by it; I just kind of assumed most of the coaches from the BCS conferences have done something like that at one time or another. I mean, if you’re a WAC coach, there’s $17 million for your conference on the line, and you’re hearing buzz that Hawaii is still kind of on the edge as far as making the top 12, of course you’re going to bump the Warriors up a couple spots just to be on the safe side. It’s just business.
In terms of righteous indignation, I’m far more pissed off about Tommy Tuberville putting Hawaii above the Dawgs on his ballot than about anything the WAC guys did. I mean, we were all there on November 10. Ears should know better.
“A lot coaches during the recruiting process will do things just to attract you. They will make you think that they’re this type of person just to get you to go to that school. And then you get there, and sometimes it’s completely different, the person is completely different. And with Coach Richt, you could see him doing that during the recruiting process and it’s like ‘Man, I hope he stays that way if I sign there.’ And once I committed, same way. Once I signed, same way...” -- Shaun McGee, AJ-C, 5/22/13
Hey, the BCS big boys put those guys on the outside and now they are just altering the playing field.
