Some pretty sobering stuff in Pete Thamel's article.

This scandal is going to be a lot bigger than just the schools and coaches named yesterday.

Every Power 5 Athletic Director in the country is potentially at risk

 

[tatedog]

Maybe we'll be able to fly under the radar by being God awful for the last 7 or 8 seasons.

Rick Ray says "the FBI is undefeated"
That's awesome.

[patdog]

We really may have fired Stans at a very good time.

 

[coach66]

I would feel safe betting that 90% of the P5 programs are playing the game. You

really had no choice if you wanted to even attempt to be competitive. It's a damn disgrace like a lot of other things in this day and
time.

Tremendous savvy displayed by Loafers in hiring a coach that would ensure no appearance of recruiting advantages while the investigation was ongoing. We all underestimated him.

 

[ShrubDog]

Renardo and his dad could probably shed some light on this subject.

 

[RocketDawg]

This may be the diversion that OM football has been hoping for, to get the media (and sports board) attention off of them.

 

[patdog]

Yeah, I feel pretty safe about the FBI or NCAA looking into the Rick Ray years.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Renardo say big boys gotta eat yo.

I don't like that the reporter implied Ray was fired from MSU because he wouldn't play the game.

 

[tatedog]

I don't like that the reporter implied Ray was fired from MSU because he wouldn't play the game.

Had the exact same thought. I'd be lying if I said his outspokenness on this issue doesn't make me a bit worried. That being said, reading his statement made my head hurt.

 

[tatedog]

Yeah, I feel pretty safe about the FBI or NCAA looking into the Rick Ray years.

However, just to be on the safe side I hope our athletic dept. is working on a full and complete apology. You know, just in case.

I'm not so sure about this. This might be just the kind of thing Mars needs to turn some screws.

 

[RocketDawg]

Well ... if we're guilty, be prepared to pay the price. I don't condone cheating.

 

[Shamoan]

there are a lot of fanbases that are having this discussion today, but we are among the have-nots currently and i feel the previous administration was clean as a whistle to our detriment at the time....but to our advantage currently. our new administration has be concerned a bit, but its 100% speculation until something comes out. who really cares....our basketball team has been **** for a while now, so its not like even a severe punishment would feel any differently than the last 5+ years. if it happens, it happens.

 

[tatedog]

Pretty much how I feel about this. If we are going to get hammered, we won't feel a thing.

 

[coach66]

If we get hammered and it restores the sport to where it was many years ago then

I'll take it because I have very little interest in the current product.

 

[patdog]

I suspect any potential problem we may have with our current staff would be a lot less than a lot of other schools have. And you're right, there's not much the NCAA could do to punish us any worse than we have been for the past 6 years.

 

[Confucius Say]

If we are involved, we will dismantle the entire program on the front end so I'm not really worried about an NCAA investigation. Bracky prob has a lie detector already set up in the mize building testing everybody from howland down to the ball boy.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I've had enough of this One and Done stuff.

There has to be a better plan, that is fair.


Pitino...OUT!

 

[L4Dawg]

I'll take it because I have very little interest in the current product.

Same here.

 

[Miketice]

But are they? I think he meant ***** is undefeated.*

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

One interesting note. The 5 star player who just decommitted from Auburn plays on the Atlanta Celtics. Our assistant coach Korey McCray is heavily involved in the Atlanta Celtics. If this player was not on our radar with even an offer, what does that tell you? I honestly think Howland runs a clean program. Has he ever had problems with this in the past?

 

[boatsandhoes]

I laughed. Then pictured Rick Moranis hooked up to that shock machine with in the original ghostbusters.

 

[Dogariffic]

If we do cheat we surely do it poorly! That has to count for something if any bad news comes out way..... ever!
Cheaters with bad records get a pass!
