Bush lied alright. Had to do a little reading to see which Bush you were talking about.

No bias here! Even stories and headlines that are not even about the President are presented as subliminal messages to the smooth surfaced brains of the world.

A NCAA player took money, wow, big suprise. What needs to be done is let all the NCAA division I teams officially be declared the minor league of the NFL. Who goes to class anyway?

Don't forget about Dallas. That being said, SC is way too much of a sacred cow for anything to happen to them. The NCAA will dismiss it as completely out of their control.

Perhaps you are right, but we used to think the same thing about Bama. Right now they are in three strikes you're out territory.

The problem is that if something like this would cost Alabama 20 scholarships and a threat of the death penalty. In this case the NCAA will just say that the school had no way of knowing. That is pretty much what the did with Ohio State and before that U of Florida.

BTW, I like all the schools that I just mentioned - the problem is that the NCAA deals out very subjective punishments.

I just had a call from a friend wanting to discuss this and she virtually said the same thing you did - if Bush had played for Bama, we could count on the death penalty - let it be USC, Notre Dame, Awburn.....well you get the drift....and it would be a slap on the wrist....

Being a USC alumnus and fan of the Trojans I hate to see this. The question is what did USC know and when did they know it? Should USC of known of this infraction. I have a feeling this is going to get awfully messy before it is all. This comes at a terrible time for recruiting. Time will tell.

I'd settle for paying the players - when I in Grad School at Georgia Tech I took an undergraduate Management Calculus course for an easy "A." One day I took one of the kids in the class out for a hamburger one day after I showed him how to do a couple of the tougher problems. He was so grateful.

Then we got to talking and it turned out he was on the football team and that I was an alumni. He totally freaked out thinking he had lost his scholarship but he literally did not have enough money to pay me back for the hamburger.

He made a point of giving the $5 back a couple of weeks later with a bag of nickles and pennies.

Young adults who bring so much revenue into the schools should either be allowed to have jobs or should be given stipends by the schools.
