Actually, I'm not. It is what it is. You get hit, catch your breath, and go on. That's where I'm at.

And I probably hate Spurrier more than the average UT fan. But I'm over all this bullcrap. It's football season, not NCAA Housewives.

The real outrage is the football players were paying $14.59 a day, and the women's track team was only paying $14.16 per day. WTF? Where's Title IX when you need it?

Looks like our compliance director will be fired yesterday. Mangus may lose his job, too.

Sorry Darth. I honestly do hate it for ya. The average fan who had nothing at all to do with any of it gets screwed by this crap.

I guess this kind of thing needs to happen at some point. I'm a rule follower by nature. I don't want to get in trouble for anything. Ever. But as a football fan, it pisses me off that team fans have to deal with the actions of the people in charge of the schools they love.

Thanks, Volly.

If we broke the rules, we need to be punished. Simple as that. There is nothing I detest more in this world than a liar, and cheaters are liars in my book. My wish is simple: fire the compliance officer, disassociate from any shady boosters, fire all staff involved with shady activity.

I may be jumping the gun on Mangus, but perhaps if he had been keeping track of Damiere Byrd rather than getting tanked in Greenville, then this may have been avoided. As it stands, we no longer have room to laugh at the other schools under investigation.

Would suck to lose Mangus since he seems to be the ace recruiter, especially up north, at this point, but guess we know why he might've been recruiting so well...

do i understand correctly that Spurrrier went to a hearing in Feb, regarding this? in which case, wouldnt he be playing players that could be ruled ineligable. doesnt make much sense.

He has to be represented at the hearing, which is expected to be in February. I haven't read the entire memo, so I am not sure if he was at a hearing or not this past February.

Regarding The Whitney, this is what is interesting: last year before the kick-off of the USM/USCe game, close to ten players were not ruled eligible until about an hour before kick-off. They did not even travel to the stadium with the team, a van had to be sent to pick them up when they received the ruling from the NCAA. Among said players was Marcus Lattimore. Also among said players was Weslye Saunders, who was never ruled eligible.

Given the NCAA's lack of consistency in dealing out punishment, I have no idea how to gauge what they will do.

I read bits and pieces. Is it a free-lance booster or did the university knowlingly allow it to happen? Either way, we appear to be screwed.

A rogue booster is what got Alabama in trouble over the Albert Means crap. Compliance offices are suppose to be on the look out for this sort of activity.

One media person in Columbia was saying that The Whitney mess isn't so much what the NCAA is concerned with as much as it is the stuff with the SAM Foundation. Hell, I don't know what to believe.

It's not often I say this in light of an NCAA investigation . . . I really hate this for you guys.

Ugh, sorry Darth. There is nothing fun about dealing with the NCAA and watching helplessly as clowns who supposedly "love" your school seem totally unconcerned about throwing it under the bus.
