I mean that's a whole 'nother argument lol. We know the bias is real in some places. I'm just trying to say that I don't understand why people are mad about this. Almost EVERY school does this, and for any fan of a P5 team to assume that at least some players on their team aren't is naive. The whole "throwing stones in a glass house" saying applies here...

People are mad about it because Clemson has nice things and we have sht. I get your point, but good luck making any of these animals see it.

It appears that they are winning because they are playing dirty in many regards. IMHO that program and its fake-a@@ nice guy coach needs a ton of scrutiny.

In all honesty, Dabo is a real nice dude. Overall he's cool...but when it comes to football he and Venables are two of the absolute most competitive people you'll meet. After a few early seasons where they fell short off ACC ship, Dabo changed things up.
People all over the upstate can attest to the cash flow surrounding Clemson but of course most are fans so it's hush hush. **** many are contributing to it.
I once worked with Marcus Lattimore step-dad and he told me how much Clemson offered for his son to go there..and how often Byrnes players were getting paid to go play at Clemson. He said, man I wanted Marcus to get cash so bad, but he chose SEC because he knew he would get more exposure and more credibility coming out of the SEC at that time, and Lattimore had NFL written all over him from the time he was a junior in high school.

Nevertheless, yes, Clemson is throwing cash around, and after the last loss to Bama I'm positive that Dabo knew what was going on with the PEDs and he wasn't going to stop it.
 
BALCO operated right across the street from Miami.....just sayin. When they got popped, are downfall began. Not saying it happened....but looks suspicious.
 
PEDs should be banned in football, yes. But when it come to a boring sport like baseball, they should be allowed. I'm sure the MLBs ratings were a lot higher during to roid era. Nothing like watching a good ol' homerun from a roided up Barry Bonds. Even that kid Harper looks like he's on roids in today's baseball.

(I'm joking, but not really)

This unfortunately happens at every school. My nephew is a walk-on for a prominent Big 10 basketball program. As one of the few players who does not smoke weed, he is always "randomly" tested when the team is required to do "random" drug testing. In fact, it's a poorly kept joke on his team. He also has very good grades, which helps the team's overall GPA.
I suspect even UM knows who to "randomly" test and who not to test. The difference, however, is when the NCAA chooses who to test. For example, a few years back, the NCAA chose to test Michigan basketball player Mitch McGary, who was injured and not planning to play in the NCAA Tournament. But because it was the NCAA tourney, the NCAA chose who to test, and not Michigan. And lo and behold, McGary tested positive. The test of the Clemson players was conducted not by Clemson but by the NCAA. Which is why a player like Lawrence was caught. That would never have happened during the regular season when the school decides who will be "randomly" tested.

Who did the NCAA "randomly" test for Bama I wonder?

The doctor that supplied A rod with juice was still supplying kids in Pike as late as the early 2010s. The guys office was right on Ponce next to that traffic circle by the Merrick Park mall/apartments.
