How Hugh Freeze describes NCAA investigation to recruits
Quote from a recruit below:
“Well, Coach Freeze told me when you’re that big and out there with faith in Christ, he’s like, ‘What do you expect? Jesus got nailed to the cross.’ So, he was just telling me sometimes things like that happen, but that’s never going to change how he’s going to treat his players and take care of them. Even if — I don’t know if he really did make the mistake, doing what he did or not — but I can just tell he’s a good person, great person."

I feel pretty confident that when you typed Sagan you were not talking about Carl Sagan. But not totally sure if you meant to type Saban or Satan. It's not just phonetics that they have in common.

2 programs that cheat equally, not surprising
either we reject all their 'accomplishments' fully or we consent to their cheating. You can't give them credit and then act pissed at every time a former player or recruit confesses

Jesus vs. Saban

to stuff this wad of cash down your pants and not tell anybody.

Regardless of your religious affiliations (if any) this is more than a little offensive. It's also a bit ironic that a cheating ass clown down in the bible belt is essentially comparing his "persecution" to Jesus rather than, you know, admitting he got busted for running a shady operation. I will be pleasantly surprised if there's any blow back down there.
People, please teach your kids critical thinking skills.

....don't they also espouse the "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying" ethos.
December 29th, 2016 at 4:25 AM ^
Blow back? This is the deep south what he said is just what he's expected to say...and the recruit loved it..."He's a good man!"
Top 5 class all the way to the pearly gates...with a lil ole stop at the ATM along the way.

... his spiel appears to have worked. Con men don't have to convince anyone but the mark. The mark in this case seems duly impressed.
December 28th, 2016 at 9:36 PM ^
And it takes a sick SOB to do that. He is preying on their goodwill. Evil man.
December 29th, 2016 at 1:22 AM ^
...and he will probably medical him in a few years when he doesn't live up to his star potential. That is unless he is crucified first.

I'm not sure what's worse - that Freeze is comparing himself to Jesus, or that the recruit seemed impressed with that statement. And this is a kid that will attend college. Ughh...

I agree, but I think it's a question how driven a student is if he chooses his college based on snake oil and cash payments.

Fake the education? I thought we were talking about Ole Miss rather than UNC.

for uneducated people to thrive. a college classroom environment is not a $100-200k value for someone who doesn't have a very solid foundation.
in other words, this kid would benefit from redoing high school, not drowning in college.
December 28th, 2016 at 10:27 PM ^
basically like redoing HS?

but absolutely not. if you've seen last chance u on netflix, it gives a pretty sobering perspective that there are plenty of athletes with all the football talent in the world but who would gain close to nothing from sitting in a college classroom.
December 29th, 2016 at 12:10 PM ^
as a joke about Ole Miss and as the truth about a lot of kids. For anyone that has nothing to gain from sitting in a college classroom, they clearly didn't gain anything from sitting in a HS classroom, so what's the benefit of redoing HS when that learning environment wasn't the right fit the first time around? Either way, college or HS, they're sitting in some classroom not gainning anything.
The best chance they'd have is vocational/trade school or the military - not repeating HS. Otherwise, it'd be drugs and/or the streets. So one could absolutely make the argument that college football wastes the years in which a guy that isn't going pro could have learned a trade or gone to the military, if that's what the documentary is doing. One could also make the argument that without football, most would end up on the drugs/street side of things so at least it keeps them out of trouble for a while longer and gives some a chance? Costs and benefits...
You had to get all serious, didn't you?

....are you sure that he even wants to play skool??? Could be related to cardale.

The Canaanites weren't highly ranked, either, but it worked out for them.

I will admit, I was hoping that Freeze was going to admit that, like me, he was a SubGenius and that there was in fact some actual basis for him to frame the problem in the manner that he did. As it stands, this is quite the overdramatization and really should not be used as a ploy by anyone with an ounce of....wait, we're talking about Hugh Freeze? Never mind then.
