Is it cheating if the rules are not enforced? I mean driving 1 over the speed limit is against the law...so are you a criminal on the interstate everytime you drive? We know that players at the top 10 programs receive benefits from boosters outside of the program. We know that the reputation of these setups can improve recruiting to an area. We know that in most industry the top talents receive more money, and we know the top talents in college football deserve compensation for their services, much more than the bottom half the team. The cheating comes when adult men rake in millions off of the exploits of 18-22 year olds, and it is even more pathetic when these men don't care to compete by "cheating". Now if we get caught cheating I would be pissed because our staff was too stupid to do it creatively or to stop blatant and obvious cheating. Look Osborne cheated...his players were paid by "employers" and never went to work..stayed at home or in dorms and play video games and shot up. These are facts, witnessed by fans. These kids were young and dumb and voiced their exploits. I hope we think Frost is clean, and didn't use the green, and we recruit in the top 10, and build a fantastic, talented team, to be proud of....but if we waste millions to win 8 games a year, redirect money from fans for coach and administration salaries, while allowing fans to boost the local economy, w/o trying everything possible...well that is cheating.
