The OP of that thread is butt hurt really bad and wants THEIR Heisman back.How about a deal - the NCAA systematically investigates both programs (USC just got its rectal exam in 2010) and vacates any wins where there are improprieties.
OR they just give us our Heisman and BCS trophy back and we call it a day.
Yep, sure buddy. Sure. Ask the Trojan players which game they would rather have played in. SMH.In all seriousness, 52-6 was the turning point for USC's resurgence on the field and also in recruiting. It exposed Max Browne, forced him out of the program, and allowed Helton to start Darnold.
I'd rather win the Rose Bowl than lose the National Championship, but maybe that's just me.
Well, the wads of cash thing is a bit more immature, but for someone who grew up poor it is no small thing. I didn't grow up in the social media era, thankfully, but I remember getting my hands on a couple of hundred bucks (not even mine) and showing this unfathomable amount to people. Also, the most cash I'd seen up until that point was when my sister got graduation presents before going to college. Anyway, I'm not too big a fan of the pictures with cash thing, but they're not the first people to try and show off money...Never have understood the penchance for players to want to pose in front of cars and with wads of cash like there some phony rapper posing for an album cover
Not to mention all those pics were at a gas station in Florida.....lolI'll say one more thing on this: I have been told that in the last 5 or so years, cars for student athletes are seriously regulated and triple-checked with regard to improper benefits.
That being said I'm not naive enough to think they don't receive something. Still, there's no substance to this and we don't have any evidence these cars even belong to the players. They seriously think one of our players is driving around in a BMW i8?
AI wonder how many of these all knowing "USC" fans are from the West GA area?
Not to mention, many qualify for Pell Grants and other financial aid. So, a $600-$700 a month car payment is 100% doable! Not to mention with no tuition many parents can afford to buy their kid a new car too.This is such a stupid topic honestly, but instead of going with the obvious, yes people in college get cars thing...
I should probably point out something I'm not sure I saw mentioned in either thread. Yes, the University of Alabama is actually paying these guys now. They get 4,000 to 5,000 annually. That's more than enough to make payments on a late model car. So, things have changed since the era of "how did they get that money", they do literally get a check from Alabama now.
