So a free education, free upscale housing, free on site 24 hour chefs, free rein to basically do as they please, and you think their chances to make legitimate cash on the barrel are being suppressed?

“Wait, why did they suspend 10 Vikings?”

So these guys are being thrown in jail?

...seeing the current state of UVa football, I don’t think I’d be laughing at VT football (now basketball, that’s totally different).

Yeah, cheating sure derailed Bill Belichick’s career.

If it makes people feel uncomfortable and your organization can function without it, then it’s unnecessary.

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment. Having said that, all things considered, they got back on track quite quickly (by comparison, schools like Miami 20 years ago and USC 6 years ago took a lot longer to get back to their past glory like PSU).

nice to not have Bryce Alford have to carry and run the team at the same time

I remember those quarterback controversies between Simms and Applewhite. In the end it was quite comical: didn’t matter who was QB for UT to get buried by Oklahoma.

I agree with your assertion on UT fans. They felt burned by Kiffin leaving after one year (understandable) but let’s not forget how they shoved at UT-lifer in Phil Fulmer out the door to make way for Kiffin. This isn’t to say Fulmer deserved to keep his job but for fans complaining about Lane’s lack of loyalty, it’s…

You know what, I apologize for jumping to conclusions. Just seemed to me you’re take was everyone should get screwed by the draft.

and that recruiting should be a bigger concern?

So basically your stance is: Americans and Canadians ballplayers so everyone else should too. Unfortunately a lot of Americans (read: poor and white) have that same attitude.

to hurt kids you’ve coached as recently as last year

The Kings have not ruled out retiring KJ’s jersey in the future. A team spokesperson said they will either retire his #7 or the number of accusers, depending on which one is higher.

You’re not really part of this conversation because you’re not sure what the original discussion was about.

Never mind the fact he was injured that year.

Thank you for backing my assertion that it was a decline in his skills and not attitude.

Let me ask you this, do you think they would have traded him if they thought he was going to have a few more good years?

The reason he was traded from New England was his skills were declining. You don’t think Tom Brady is a diva too?
