....agreed, while there is a contingent of folks that mock those who are suspicious of bagmen activity in the ess eee see, for georgia to even consider him says a lot of how the athletic department runs things. Hey, I wonder how seriously did they look at hiring sweater-vest???
They were too transparent for even the NCAA.
Just ask Isiah Wilson. Shit Clemson offered Gary ten grand and he said so. Georgia, Clemson and Alabama all pay their big time recruits. There are many other programs that do, but these programs are the big time and the dirtiest of all.
Funny that all the coaches are connected to Alabama at some point in their career. Ole miss investigation probably prompted by Saban as they were getting better at it than him and his so called boosters. Any one who counts any of his national championships as legitimate is flat out delusional in my book. Nick Saban is the all time biggest recruitment violator that ever walked the face of the earth, and he has taught his froggies well. Smart, Saban and that piece of shit from clemson are all one in the same. All three schools knowingly cheat, so why not bring on Pitino. Smart is the same thing in football.
What's really strange that even with these programs cheating, there is one big ten program that is still beating them in the recruitment war. Just blows my mind how they can do that without offering illegal incentives. Frere?.
You can't do better than Pitino. He won't stop at having bagmen. Bring on the "escorts." Eat in private rooms at Athens finest restaurants and screw the waitresses. Throw money around to pay for the abortions. It's the SEC, baby!!
Seriously...is there anybody worse than Pitino?
My feelings exactly. You wrote it better than I would have. Plus one.

desperation level 9000
I'm willing to believe this because it squares with my predjudices but are there facts out there that support this?
lol, so it's a "too big to 'fail' " scenario?
luvs dem sum hookers!
LOL. Shameless.
The penalties so far were just for the prostitutes--they gave show-cause penalties to the assistant coach and the director of ops who actually made the arrangements, but all Pitino got was the five-game suspension he already served.
There's probably a show-cause waiting for him down the road when they finally process the FBI bribery stuff, but if anyone wants to hire him in the meantime they can.
Georgia trying to be Sparty of the SEC
somebody is going to hire him. It's just a matter of who.
Honestly - Massachusetts (Pitino's alma mater) probably wishes now they had waited a year to fire Derek Kellogg. Pitino would have fallen right into their laps. It's not impossible Georgia may hire McCall (the UMass coach) themselves.
Memphis might consider Pitino. They've never particularly cared about optics over the years down there.
are Pearl and Fisher and the NCAA let Fisher skate. Auburn is soon going to regret signing Pearl. They aren't going to get enough out of him to make it worthwhile. Just my opinion.
Tubby has only been fired for not winning enough or not recruiting hard enough. You can take that second part as code for being too honest.
I don't agree about Pitino at all. He's got a show cause hanging over his head. You're setting your program back by hiring him when a show cause is coming. He's already been fired for cause by Louisville. They're not going to be defending him to the NCAA. He's still a great coach, but I would bet against Pitino recruiting well until the NCAA issues are settled.
I down vote anyone and everyone who thinks that paying players will be a panacea for rampant cheating. The idea it would be is beyond absurd.
If I knew what a panacea was, I would definitely upvote!
I'm guessing it has something to do with the cretaceous period.
What about the other 97 or so? Why shouldn't walk-ons have the same rights as any other member of the student body? Of course there is demand for the PWO roles because it gives you a shot at a scholarship and a very small shot at a pro-career, but that doesn't justify the fact that those players can't go out and get any job they want and endorsements.
I actually think that scholarship athletes should not have basic economic rights restricted, but at least they are getting something back. I don't even understand what the argument is against walk-ons getting the same opportunities as any other person.
