"The thing that's disturbing is that college football has been fighting for years to create a level playing field and now they're trying to go the other way and create an even wider gap between the haves and have-nots," O'Leary says. "I think some of these schools have forgotten where they came from."
Where they came from? That's just a plain weird quote. What football power, came from the FCS after they lowered the lowered the scholarship limits? Boise St.? I'm having trouble naming a Big 5 college that seemed to have come from this football socialism he's referring to.
Besides that, this is exactly the problem with giving things that are not deserved, and lowering the bar to help those you can't climb over said bar. You create a sense of entitlement, and here it is. He's mad, oh so mad because they don't want to stoop to his level anymore...
He and his fellow recipients of the NCAA's attempts to bring everyone down to their level... they really seem like they might prefer to bring the whole thing crashing down, than to give up their special privileges (which is to deny benefits to
all student athletes because they can't afford them).
