re: I'm Becoming More Convinced That Wade Cheated

"Everyone is doing it" is a poor excuse, but it is a pertinent observation. WW got caught playing the game how it is played at the highest levels. The question is do you want to compete? If you do, you compete the way everyone does or you are at a disadvantage. You can be clean and do things "the right way", but you won't win. If you choose that you have to be satisfied with "We did it the right way".

AMEN Brother.

The defense called him to the stand.

He likely never even sees the stand. They will deal because the FBI isn't after collegiate sports. They are defending them as victims tard.

And, why you think he got paid? The offer was rejected. Can't you read? Maybe not, but that is fine.

And it does matter. Why? Because the entire game is tarnished and the NCAA starts trying to scapegoat we gonna see this sport change to something altogether different real soon.

So, NCAA go ahead and attempt to lay it one schools feet. NCAA is best to back away and let it go if they know what is best and wait till people forget all about it. Otherwise birds start chirping and bodies start falling.

The blue blood college basketball programs love this sentiment. As if we must remain totally pure and not worry about what other programs get away with consistently.

The whole player compensation debate is funny. The large majority believe that student athletes need to be more fairly compensated as they help make their respective schools a huge amount of money. Yet we are being shite on because we are suspected of giving a student athlete a "piece of the pie". Which is it? Is it cheating or is it the good and right thing to do? I suspect because we are LSU we are cheating. If it were say Duke, it would spark a media debate on the matter to absolve them.

WRONG.

So how do they pick what coaches they wiretap? The conversation they have here is the conversation that takes place in every division 1 athletic administration office for all the major sports. Are you telling me that UNC, DUKE, Louisville, UK, Gonzaga, Villanova, Indiana etc etc etc don't do this? Drive by the Athletic buildings of any major institution and look at the vehicles that the student athletes are driving.
