U$C to go on MAJOR probation

[Woy]

We wouldn't have to worry about extra practice time if we were offering up signing bonuses for great players that would make NFL 1st round picks jealous.

Lol, you serious right now?

Get it together. It's one thing to talk about them getting benefits but to exaggerate that these kids are getting millions of dollars is ridiculous. :vogel:

...lol. ok.

You guys are living in a fantasy world. Get your heads out of the sand. NCAA football is so dirty at every D1 school, it's mind-boggling. You would not believe the shit that happens if you followed around a 5-star recruit on his official and unofficial visits.

Except Michigan right?

So, if it's dirty at every school, who really gives a shit?

Michigan also has their fair share of dirty stuff, but not having boosters gather pots to give to athletes. Not every school does that.

For example, I found it hilarious Kiffin was about to get crushed at Tennessee for the female "escorts" that recruits were getting in campus...I'd venture to say about 50% of D1 schools do the same thing.

Lane Kiffin was going to get punished because the "escorts" were going to high school recruits games..

But not Michigan, right?

[Hasselbeck]

In regards to TV exposure, Pete Carroll won't get much of that in Seattle either.

BTW.. I take this with a serious grain of salt coming from a UCLA website. Wouldn't be surprised if Neuheisel wrote this piece.

I think USC will lose some scholarships and vacate some wins.. but doubt the NCAA removes them from TV for a couple of years. That'd cost them a lot of money and that's all the NCAA is about.

[bcransom]

Man the TV deal is a killer for the other Pac-10 schools and Notre Dame just as much as it is for USC.. Sucks for me, was the closest thing I had to pro football locally. Hopefully UCLA can step their game back up.

I'm still holding out for the Jags or someone to come to LA.

Fuck the Bruins in any case.

Id imagine Michigan pays among the best in business, how else did they get all those top recruiting classes over the past 15 years?

I wouldnt say 50% of D1 schools pay players and break most ncaa rules, id say 100%.

Nah Herm, we all know Michigan is the greatest football program out there and would never stoop to such levels.

[Woy]

And where's your proof of that? You're just making baseless accusations now.

[JeremyHight]

Did I say Michigan didn't cheat? No, I didn't. They obviously do, as it's been documented, and there's plenty of things they do in recruiting that is cheating, just like every other school. However, giving the amount of money that some other schools do? No, they haven't done that. Every school offers money to almost every recruit worth a damn, but some schools go overboard for top recruits.

lol, right. Because Michigan NEVER gave a ton of money to top recruits...

UCLA is on the rise big time.. keep an eye out for them

[JeremyHight]

Oh, hey, I had no idea something that happened 15 and 20 years ago on a different field of play had anything to do with football.

Oh, sorry, I didn't know that Michigan's program has been so clean lately... oh wait, no, they were again just under NCAA regulation. Sorry that your school been caught cheating so often and blatantly lately, but that doesn't mean everyone else is like Michigan and USC.

But stick with your "I heard stories" concept.
