Years ago, I would have said “Fire Wade.” No more. It’s all corrupt.

I would have been one of those 10-15 years ago saying right is right and wrong is wrong and Wade should go.

I still believe that in real life. I believe in truth, morality, honor, and doing the right thing.

College sports is not real life. It’s corrupt from top to bottom and any schools who win in the major sports are eaten up with corruption, money flowing, and players getting paid. We’ve seen in it football for years. It’s been all over basketball.

So, while I still believe in right/wrong, every single fan of college sports suspends that morality the moment you turn on a game and cheer for your team. Or, buy a ticket. It’s all a farce and has been for a long time. Everyone knows it. And, the NCAA is the worst pile of hypocrisy there is because they selectively enforce. And, liars like Pat Forde, Dick Vitale, Pete Thamel, etc. are paid by the machine they pretend is legitimate. The NFL has its own version of this, obviously, but nothing reaches the hypocrisy and corruption of major college sports.

For those of you whining about “the integrity of the university,” wake up and admit your complicity. YOU are part of the problem because you continue to enable this hypocrisy through willful ignorance. Then, you play the morality card and say you’d rather go 0-18 in the SEC than cheat to win.

Why don’t you just stop watching? Because that’s really what you’re saying. You don’t care if your team wins or loses. You just want to see the Purple & Gold take the field/Court and whatever happens next is irrelevant. You’re not an actual fan. You’re just taking up space.

It’s all corrupt. Either you’re fine with your school losing constantly and you’re just happy to be alive, or you call for the whole system to be dismantled (which is a position of integrity), or you accept it for what it is and just hope your school/coaches are’t dumb enough to get caught (which is a position devoid of hypocrisy), or you stop watching and do something else.

Those are your only 3 options, really. The sanctimonious blathering is pretty pathetic. Wake up and see what this is. It’s a multi-Billion dollar business pretending to be amateur athletics because that facade is the only thing that keeps the money flowing. No one is paying money to see a second rate minor league system.

Reinstate Wade and ignore the cheating that is everywhere, or burn the whole thing down and get the money out of college sports, which is probably impossible. Those are two options. Selective outrage just enables the ongoing corruption and makes scapegoats out of a few so the rest can continue on doing the exact same thing.

Wake up.
