I'm not disrespecting the man at all, but if you're gonna bring up FCS or D2 then you might as well do D3 and NAIA as well.
Bryant, Bowden, Paterno, etc didn't load up playing Northeast Jabroni State and Southern Roody Poo Poly like Robinson did.

It wasn't like he was at Alabama and played the sisters of the poor. He coached against teams that were at his level. What's wrong with that?

There is a precedent for vacating or stripping victories from corrupt programs. The crux of this particular situation is that they knew the charges were coming, but the DA's office postponed until after Paterno broke the record. The AD had also secured Paterno a golden parachute to make sure he retired after the season, because they knew it was about to hit the fan.

No offense, but the Bonds and OJ analogies are just dumb. But let's say that Bonds was found guilty in the steroid cases and it was proven without a doubt that he had cheated. You don't think Aaron would have gotten his record back?

So, let me get this straight, you saying that all of paterno's and bowdens wins came againist top notch football teams and none of their wins came against " roddy poo poly" schools?

Umm ok then.

do you realize in the 50's, 60's, 70's and early 80's all the players that are in the SEC now were in the SWAC. Look at the legends the SWAC produced.
