Now folks want to blame the ncaa when rules are broken and enforced. Par for our society now a days. No rules. Just do whatever. Well, the ncaa is now saying do whatever. People are getting exactly what they asked for. No rules. Free for all. Well, go for it and enjoy.
I've heard this story for years and tried to apply it in all that I do. It especially applies to the world we live in today.Quote:

The usfl becomes the NFL quasi minor league rather than college.
Remember when old dudes were saying everything is going to hell and they just sounded like old grumpy dudes....
The root cause of academic issues lies with our piss poor public schools and shitty parenting.Quote:

These rules were placed to bring back lost fans and it worked.
We are in the infancy part of all this new shit just like professional sports were and I'm shocked college "leadership" doesn't believe the same thing will happen to college sports as it did to professional. Right now it's like a Coup where the wealthy have taken control but hopefully cooler heads eventually prevail to save college sports once the negative impacts of this bullshit is realized. Socialism is good for sports. Did I just say that?
I resemble that remark! :rolleyes:Quote:
