But..but...buttttttttt Ol' Paul Finebaum said he heard this was all women's hoops related and that he had full faith and confidence in Hugh Freeze's integrity.
I hate Finebaum, and I certainly don't have much respect for the SEC in terms of integrity... but I'm not so quick to place the blame on the coaches. It's hard to control what your boosters do behind closed doors. Look no further than the Miami scandal. Shannon HATED Shapiro... yet Nevin was paying recruits to play at Miami.
I think there are some great coaches and men in the SEC, and I hesitate to judge someone because allegations dropped about pay for play.
Big SEC boosters hide in the shadows from most of these coaches.
Our guy was some wild lunatic **** that got his rocks off by being around stud football players and ripping people off.
What we are talking about in the SEC is SYSTEMIC. We're talking from the time a team makes first contact with a high school recruit until the time they either declare for the draft or walk off the field into their futures of local speaking engagements in the diners of the southeast.
Very different things.
lol sure bro
Brah...Butch was on probation and if he did anything, it was extremely quiet and it certainly wasn't SEC type ish.
And from 2000 forward, we're talking about the most fertile recruiting ground in the country, the most successful college football program in the country, and the team getting the most guys in the first round of all time. That's not a hard sell bro. It's like the people that are complaining about Kentucky paying dudes, as if Cal gotta do that at this point. Cal just gives them a tape of whatever All-Star game and says I'll be back in 2 and a half hours. Sure, were some unsavory things done to attain some of that talent? It's a high level D-1 program and this ain't Duke.
But brah, if one of these schools get caught out there like SMU, it's gonna make pony express look like The Cat in the Hat.
