Remember, kids, it’s wrong to pay players, but there’s no problem paying a highly touted basketball recruit’s legal guardian $200,000 a year to join your coaching staff.

Quote Of The Day
-
“And Georgia fans, don’t be turds. Enjoy this. Soak it up. It’s awesome. If you don’t win this year, it’s still not a failure. It’s a heck of a run. Back-to-back in the Playoff era hasn’t been done. So, to ask for a third I feel like it’s gluttonous. I feel like it’s not OK. But we’ll be in the mix.”-- David Pollack, On3.com, 5/9/23

“Wrong?” Not sure its a moral question but if it is there’s no doubt that we should trust the universities to do well in that realm. Larry Nasser, Jerry Sandusky, Baylor, and Jim Jordan can speak to that.
I don’t think it’s a question of morality. It’s a question about what we want intercollegiate sports to look like: a professional sports league or high school sports where the athletes get to choose where they play?

A high school principal told me once that the two quickest ways for a principal to be fired was ” to get caught dong wrong with money or sports”. If a high school athlete is caught playing out of zone and it can be proven the coach and/or principal knew about it there is hell to pay. I know of coaches who have gone to the address an opposing player claims as his residence at ten o’clock on a Wednesday night to see if the kid is actually living there.

Sounds like former Shaw HS coach Charles Flowers. He always hated getting out recruited in Columbus.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game (which you “try” to do good senator).
