How many more schools will UM's Culture of Corruption bring down with them?

[Tbonewannabe]

OM did a cannonball when they should have eased in the pool using the steps. If they had eased their way into buying players one or two at a time and gradually increased that number over several years, it wouldn't have been nearly as noticeable. If you steal a pen off a coworkers desk every few days, it's not as noticeable than taking all 10 in one day.

Now don't anybody get any ideas about stealing pens...

I heard that Dabo kind of did this at Clemson. Just a little bit at a time so now no one blinks when they have a top 5 - 10 class.

It will never happen......it would cost the SEC and the NCAA millions upon millions of dollars, period!

I do agree that the blue bloods of the SEC aren't squeaky clean, but who other than Bama have you seen all over the country in elite recruits top schools? LSU? Nope. Georgia? Nope. OM? Yep and that doesn't pass the smell test. Point is Bama likely doesn't turn you in for anything on a MS kid much like they wouldn't LSU for a LA kid. But when you go all over the country guns blazing daring people to call you out....well you get in the situation your in because you got greedy.

Don't know but _ talked with a family member who's huge UNM backer and he says "they are prepared to burn the entire conference down with them" . Insinuates they have MAJOR dirt on nearly the whole SEC and before this is over the SEC will look like the old SWC with 10 or 12 teams on probation - bluffing ?

That would be awesome. I'd gladly have everybody but Vandy and who, UK?, on probation for a couple of years in exchange for UM doing something stupid enough to get them either kicked out of the conference. The reality is, it wouldn't even come to that. The SEC isn't that much dirtier than other conferences, and the stuff UM could point to around the SEC is mostly the same stuff that goes on at all the Power 5 schools. The NCAA isn't going to risk implosion by taking on an entire conference. All UM could accomplish by ratting other schools out is ensuring that they become the SEC's whipping boy for the next decade.

Unfortunately, I doubt Um is that stupid.

Now will UM try to throw a bunch of shit at the wall that involves MSU? Yes, they will. And when they do, we'll be happy that Dan has been so freaking conservative.

What we really need to happen is the NCAA link Freeze's tenure to Waynesboro. Already have Saunders time covered. Now have Vaughn's time covered. I would imagine Vaughn's has to do with academics, either at Waynesboro and/or Attendance Center.

The rumor is that Tony Conner took his ACT in Waynesboro. I really, really hope so. If you remember, during his recruitment, talk was there was no way he was going to qualify. Don't forget about ze plan, ze plan. Oh, wait, I got the plan confused with ze plane, ze plane.

I can't imagine that Freeze didn't use this avenue after having spent time with Saunders while he was doing it.

I have been told from a good source with inside information that Tony Conner had someone else take his ACT for him. I'll leave it at that for now.

This. All day long.

It goes back to the analogy that someone made. If you're doing 60 in a 55 you're probably not going to get a ticket. But, when you're doing 105 in a 55, watch out! And, to add to it, it really becomes dangerous when you're doing 105 and you're running other cars off of the road that are being driven by Bama, UGA, Michigan and Ohio State.

There's no doubt that I think everyone in the SEC and most of college football consistently drives 60. Its the reckless drivers at 105 that need to be locked up.

Exactly, pretty much everyone in big time college football cuts corners and cheats a little here and there, and just being honest, its VERY difficult, maybe even impossible, to truly compete if you don't. But if its going to be allowed to do things at the level UNM is currently doing them with no consequences then we should just throw the whole NCAA rulebook out and say anything goes in recruiting because they are just making a mockery of the entire system.

That's probably a hell of a lot safer for them than having it taken at Waynesboro. Doubt it was another athlete that took it for him so there's not much of a way for the NCAA to get that person to roll on him, and too much time has probably passed at this point for them to prove it any other way.

The SEC should just go ahead and completely throw Ole Miss under the bus and let the NCAA know that the conference does not condone this type behavior and that this is a case of one rogue school making the entire conference look bad. Anything Ole Miss says after that will look like sour grapes.

[Coach34]

OM is not gonna burn the conference down. Thats just the comment of a big baby knowing his team is about to get hammered- and trying to scare people into not get them in trouble

It's Coming

You did see their recruiting shenanigans this year right? They are more than fully capable of this level of stupidity and even greater.

If OM tried the nuclear option they would become ND minus Catholics, championships, and national appeal. They would be BYU minus Mormons. They would be out on their a$$ by themselves and the SEC would move on without them. Basically they would be Tulane and Sewane - former members of the SEC that no one remembers even exist.

[CadaverDawg]

I wouldn't put it past those sissies to try and snitch on other SEC teams to lessen the blow. Teams have been getting in trouble in this conference for years, and if anyone is ever going to cry & snitch it's those puss bags up North. I highly doubt they can or will try to take others down, but just the thought of it tells me that the penalties are rather large. Those fruit cakes are freaking out, and I love it. When they start threatening, you know they're screwed.

Oh and Ole Miss, just remember...

Bama, LSU, & the Big Boys of the SEC (Keep in mind that you guys aren't, nor ever will be, a part of that group.)
